Waves, Wave Functions And Quantum Physics

A course on waves and wave functions. Including their natural laws, Fourier theory, and specialised waves.

What you'll learn

Introduction to waves, their definitions and characteristics.

The functions which govern waves and their relationship to Newton’s second law of motion.

Fourier analysis and Fourier synthesis.

The general wave function, and the quantum wave function.

Mechanical, spherical, pressure, electromagnetic waves, and transverse waves along with some functions unique to each wave.

Standing waves and wave harmonics.

An introduction to Maxwell’s equations.

Quantum tunnelling and alpha particle tunnelling.

Wave particle-duality and the double slit experiment.

Requirements

A basic knowledge of math and functions (GCSE or equivalent).

Description

This course is for anyone who wants to learn about waves and wave functions, including anyone with an interest in learning some of the key aspects to quantum waves, with or without a background in this subject.This course starts with the basics for what a wave is along with their defining functions, before moving onto more detailed aspects of them, including Newtons second law of Motion and an introduction to Maxwell’s equations.This course will teach you both Fourier analysis and synthesis, as well as the general wave function, wave harmonics, radiation patterns and later in the course quantum and alpha particle tunnelling.Starting from a basic grasp of what this subject is, you will learn the knowledge and tools which will help you understand the inner workings of this field, to help you decide if you want to learn this subject professionally. Spread across five videos, this course is in English audio, available with subtitles in English, French, German, Hebrew, Icelandic, Romanian and Spanish.The information within these courses is intended for information and educational purposes only. Multiple subjects covered in these courses require certifications to practice, whose governing bodies can vary from country to country. Completing these courses will not allow you to practice in a professional capacity, and these courses are intended for people who wish to learn these fields of study, and people who wish to refresh their knowledge on the subjects within these courses.The subtitles in these courses were produced automatically. As they are automatically generated, please be aware that there may be grammatical errors and/or potential misunderstandings.
