What you’ll learn

Introduction to Waves: Oscillatory Motion – Free Udemy Courses

Identify objects that undergo simple harmonic motion (with linear restoring force)
Find the solutions to SHM from Newton’s 2nd law
Describe the evolution of displacement, velocity, and acceleration of an object undergoes SHM
Study the motion in the simple pendulum, circular motion, and vertical oscillations
Describe and calculate the energy involved in SHM as a function of time or position/

Requirements

Familiar with Calculus 1 (limits and derivatives)
Familiar with Mechanics (kinematics and dynamics)
If you have some experience with Calculus 2 (integrals), that will be helpful, but it’s not necessary.

Description

HOW THIS COURSE WORK:

This course, Introduction to Waves: Oscillatory Motion, includes the first section you will learn in Waves and Optics, including video, notes from the whiteboard during lectures, and practice problems (with solutions!). I also show every single step in examples and proofs. The course is organized into the following topics:

Introduction to Oscillatory Motion and Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
Solutions to SHM
Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration Functions in SHM
Simple Pendulum
Energy in SHM
SHM and Circular Motion
Vertical Oscillations

CONTENT YOU WILL GET INSIDE EACH SECTION:

Videos

: I start each topic by introducing and explaining the concept. I share all my solving-problem techniques using examples. I show a variety of math issues you may encounter in class and make sure you can solve any problem by yourself.

Notes

: In each section, you will find my notes as a downloadable resource that I wrote during lectures. So you can review the notes even when you don’t have internet access (but I encourage you to take your notes while taking the course!).

Assignments

: After you watch me doing some examples, now it’s your turn to solve the problems! Be honest and do the practice problems before you check the solutions! If you pass, great! If not, you can review the videos and notes again.

THINGS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE COURSE:

An instructor who truly cares about your success

Who this course is for:

This course is intended to introduce the student to a broad range of physical phenomena involving waves (mechanical waves, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves), and geometrical and physical optics.
This course is for anyone who has completed high school math (precalculus) and physics (mechanics) and is interested in getting into the science field.
This course is for current waves and optics students who are looking for extra help outside school.
This course could be for anyone who is not in the science stream but wants to study physics for fun.
