How do classical waves propagate through space? An observer looks at the possible paths of sound waves. What happens when waves from different paths overlap at the observer’s position?
Begin stationProf. Omega’s doorbell hides a secret. Will we be able to uncover it?
We look at the propagation of sound waves emitted by a tuning fork.
We visualize the terms frequency, amplitude and phase of a sound wave via a spinning wheel.
We visualize the propagation of a sound wave through space via a spinning wheel.
We explore the sound wave interference of two tuning forks.
We visualize the interference of two tuning forks via two spinning wheels.
We discuss the connection between sound intensity and sound amplitude.
We discuss sound beats – which are hidden in the sound of Omega’s doorbell!
