Sound: Crash Course Physics #18

Season 1 Episode 18 | 9m 38s

We learn a lot about our surroundings thanks to sound. But... what is it exactly? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini goes over some of the basics (and some of the not so basics) of the Physics of Sound.

Aired: 08/03/16
Extras
Shini introduces the idea of Quantum Mechanics and how it helps us understand light.
Let's talk about astrophysics, cosmology and how our universe works.
Why is e=mc2 such a big deal? And what about this grumpy cat in a box and probability?
Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful?
We've all heard of relativity, but what is it? How does it relate to light and motion?
In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini takes us into the world of magnetism!
Megneto helps Shini explain how induction works and why magnetism seems so complicated.
Ampère was playing with wires when he discovered a fundamental law of electromagnetism.
Getting power at home is pretty amazing – and much more complicated than it may seem.
We've talked about how AC circuits change voltage, but let's take a deeper look.
