Teaching Materials
Positives
- It is ideal for an advanced placement or upper level class.
- The accompanying text and visuals make it easy to follow and understand.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should be familiar with geometry functions, amplitude, frequency, and wavelength.
Differentiation
- This video could be used to explain Huygen's principle in a physics class.
- After watching, teachers could have students perform the experiments shown in the video that demonstrate the difference between waves and particles or that show the interference of waves.
- A portion of this video could be used in a history class to discuss Thomas Young and his contributions to science.
- Teachers could use this video to clarify constructive interference, destructive interference, and path difference.
