In this video David explains what constructive and destructive interference means as well as how path length differences and pi shifts affect the interference. Created by David SantoPietro.
In this video, David explains how Louis De Broglie got his Nobel Prize for the idea of matter having a wavelength.
David defines the terms amplitude and period for simple harmonic motion and shows how to find them on a graph. Created by David SantoPietro.
In this video David derives the mirror equation and magnification equation. Created by David SantoPietro.
How dielectrics function in circuits. By David Santo Pietro.
What happens when there's way more than two holes? Created by David SantoPietro.
The index of refraction in a material isn't always the same for every wavelength. This is how prisms split white light into so many colors. Created by David SantoPietro.
David explains what it means for a collision to be elastic or inelastic. Created by David SantoPietro.
In this video David explains why physicists came up with the idea of the electric field, how it's useful, and explains how the electric field is defined. Created by David SantoPietro.
The direction of an electrical field at a point is the same as the direction of the electrical force acting on a positive test charge at that point. For example if you place a positive test charge in an electric field and the charge moves to the right you know the direction of the electric field in that region points to the right. Created by David SantoPietro.
David explains electric potential (voltage). Created by David SantoPietro.
In this video David explains how to find the electric potential energy for a system of charges and solves an example problem to find the speed of moving charges. To see the calculus derivation of the formula watch this video. Created by David SantoPietro.
In this video David shows how to find the total electric potential at a point in space due to multiple charges. Created by David SantoPietro.
In this video David derives the formula to find the power used by a resistor. Created by David SantoPietro.
Introduction to electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum.
This video explains the potential of a capacitor and how they function in a circuit. By David Santo Pietro.
David explains the equation that represents the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator and solves an example problem. Created by David SantoPietro.
