The PhysicsClassroom Tutorial presents physics concepts and principles in an easy-to-understand language. Conceptual ideas develop logically and sequentially, ultimately leading into the mathematics of the topics.
Investigation of the properties of electricity and circuits, light, optics with applications to real-world phenomena such as astronomy using the inquiry technique.
A basic physicscourse intended primarily for non-science majors with little mathematics background. Topics will include properties of waves, sound and light, and the principles and applications of acoustics and optics.
For each lecture, the PowerPoint file is available, along with a full-color 4-slide-per-page PDF version. If you want to print grayscale or black & white, you may be able to do so from the PowerPoint file.
Description: We start the discussion of light. What is it and how does it propagate? (07:27) Instructor: Prof. Markus Klute. Freely sharing knowledge with learners and educators around the world. Learn more. MIT OpenCourseWare is a web based publication of virtually all MIT course content.
This second course serves as an introduction to the physics of waves and light. Upon completion, learners will understand how mathematical laws and conservation principles describe wave propagation and light in the context of both geometrical and physical optics.
Explore the classical physics understanding of light in this comprehensive 30-minute video lecture. Delve into Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic oscillations, and wave properties of light. Examine key phenomena such as diffraction, interference, and polarization.
Inside each module, learners have access to complete video lectures, conceptual quizzes, and practice problems. This comprehensive course is similar in detail and rigor to those taught on-campus at Rice.
