MIT Vibrations and Waves Problem Solving Help Videos, Fall 2012 - 5. Traveling Waves without Damping

View the complete OCW resource: http://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-8-005-vibrations-and-waves-problem-solving-fall-2012/ Instructor: Wit Busza Discussion of systems with infinite number of degrees of freedom, in particular where the oscillators are identical, harmonic, and connected only to their neighbors. Examples include a taut string and a transmission line (two parallel conductors). *NOTE: These videos were originally produced as part of a physics course that is no longer available on OCW.* Chapters 0:00:00 Title slate 0:00:21 Overview of infinite degrees of freedom solutions 0:25:09 Problem: Two transmission lines. Frequencies, wavelengths, and amplitudes of the waves on the two lines are calculated. 0:52:14 Problem: A massless ring slides on a frictionless rod. Calculated are the shape of the pulse, potential energy, and kinetic energy. License: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA More information at http://ocw.mit.edu/terms More courses at http://ocw.mit.edu
