Ripple Tank Waves


Ripple Tank Waves. Looking at interference patterns with A level #Physics with two dibbers. Working out the wavelength and calculating the frequency and velocity of the waves Missing some of the GCSE syllabus the students are having to do some new learning over the summer to make up what they missed so they can start A level successfully #iteachphysics



Simple Harmonic Motion


 A @pascoscientific force sensor and an Ultrasonic sensor working together on a long spring to show forces and distance, velocity and accelerator in simple harmonic motion for A level physics students - all online. #iteachphysics #Physics

Doppler Rocket

Demonstrating the Doppler effect with the @pascoscientific Doppler Rocket: As the rocket moves away, students can hear the pitch drop (red s...
