DescriptionWhat do cellular phones, car navigation devices, air and traffic control systems, many astronomical instruments and satellite communications have in common? Radio waves. Some of the ways humans create and interfere with these waves are explored…. More >> Waves: Energy On The Move
DescriptionDocumentary footage of earthquakes shows the destructive energy in seismic waves. A demonstration reveals the difference between primary and secondary seismic waves. See how artificial ground waves created by humans reveal the composition of our planet…. More >>
DescriptionLyrical shots lead to considering the wave nature of light and laser experiments demonstrate light’s wave origin. How mirages, color separations, laser diffraction, grooves on a CD, holograms, and optical technology rely on light waves, is also explored…. More >>
DescriptionMusical instruments from around the world show how wave vibrations create sound. Lab experiments make visible the invisible shapes of sound, including pitch, and the fact that air is necessary to transmit sound waves. Shows how science leads to useful technology…. More >> Product DescriptionThis volume examines the interaction between ocean waves and oscillating systems. With a focus on linear analysis of low-amplitude waves, the text is designed to convey a thorough understanding of wave interactions. Topics include the background mathematics of oscillations, gravity waves on water, the dynamics of wave-body interactions, and the absorption of wave energy [...]
DescriptionWith computer animation superimposed on live-action and light box experiments, the reflection, diffraction, interference and refraction of waves are clearly shown. That wave energy and not the water itself moves is also revealed, as well as the beauty and usefulness of water waves…. More >> Sound Waves
DescriptionUsing live-action, innovative computer animation, and lab experiments, this series demonstrates how waves pervade all aspects of the natural world. How humans translate these forms of natural energy into resources and technology is also revealed in varied and often surprising settings…. More >> |
