Oscillations and waves bundle

This bundle is a complete introductory lesson on Oscillations and Waves. It has a powerpoint with some clean animations and videos to help visualize the concepts, guided notes and worksheets.

The following topics are covered in simple language to help students grasp the complicated concepts:

›Periodic motion

›Equilibrium and extreme positions

›Forced oscillations

›Restoring force

›SHM

›Displacement

›Hooke’s law

›Simple Pendulum

›Energies associated with oscillations

›Acceleration at different positions

›Amplitude

›Period

›Frequency

›Displacement-time graphs

›Period of a pendulum 

›Wave

›Electromagnetic waves vs Mechanical waves

›Transverse vs longitudinal waves

›Crest vs Trough

›Compression vs rarefaction

›Wavelength

›Speed of wave

›Boundary behavior

›Wave interference

›Standing waves

›Harmonics

›Nodes vs Antinodes

›Natural frequency

›Resonance

There is a free video link on the last slide of the PowerPoint that could be used to support teaching/learning.
