    @9:57, velocity is equal to *displacement* over time, not distance over time. This is a very small but important distinction just as a reminder to those watching! Distance traveled over time is related to speed, which is a scalar quantity. Displacement over time is related to velocity, which is a vector quantity.

    14 years old up in Singapore, if your'e in a private school like mine (School of Science and Technology, Singapore). Most likely the mainstreaming academic schools learn this at the age of 15.
    May I remind you that Singaporeans only start learning physics at the age of 13.
    If your'e wondering what I learn for science before the age of 13, its just simple science foundations to help us cope in secondary school.

    Show what happens when the differential impluse (-+) wave reaches the end of the string, different reflection result, if the end of the string is floating (open) or locked down (shorted) .

      I had the good fortune to have Richard Feynman as a teacher at Cal Poly. I also was taught by Sir Ronald Syme at Christchurch. The sheer presence of such scholars could never be equaled by a You Tube video. The atmosphere of deep respect for learning and the intellect can’t be matched by a video, nor can the camaraderie and sense of shared purpose. Finally I met my wife in graduate school.She was a distinguished scholar in the Classics dept. whose nickname (unknown to her) was the goddess. The You Tube community hath not her like!

      Displacement and distance...transverse waves, like light, travel in straight lines. And this video covers the basics. So no reflection. Just a straight line. And the velocity in reality is speed here but...people into physics tend to use velocity all the time.

    Question: If the horizontal axis is time, the period is the "distance" between two peaks, and wavelength is also the distance between two peaks, wouldn't period = wavelength?

    • @yousorooo
      @yousorooo 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok I get it now. A wave can't be graphed with a 2D curve, it's a 3D surface _y(x,t) = Asin(ax + bt)_, and period is the distance between two peaks with fixed x and wavelength is the distance between two peaks with fixed t.
      At any fixed point on the wave with distance _x_ from the origin, the distance between two peaks on the t-y plane is the *period*.
      At any fixed time t, the distance between two peaks on the x-y plane is the *wavelength*.
      The two peaks are different.
