Web LinksUNIT 3: WAVES AND SOUNDChapter 6: Vibrations and Waves
Quartz Watches Page (202, #13) This site from JC Penney explains how digital watches work. Browse through the site to learn about what vibrates in a watch. The American Time Guide to Quartz Watches Page (202, #13) This article, reprinted from American Time magazine, answers common questions about the operation of digital watches.
6.2 Wave Motion From Laparoscopy.com, this is a cool link managed by Amil Kumar, MD. This site is a Pictorial story of shock wave lithotripsy. It actually shows lithotripsy being performed on a patient with kidney stones. St. Vincent's Hospital Home Page Page (208, #9 ) This page is setup by St. Vincent's Hospital. By clicking the Background link, you will be given great information about kidney stones. Clicking on the Technical Info link will produce information about lithotripsy and compares it to other treatments. What is lithotripsy? Page (208, #9 ) This page is maintained by Global Lithotripsy Services. This page goes over what lithotripsy is and how it works.
This site is set up by Cyber College and clearly answers the questions asked. It discusses and distinguishes AM and FM signals. It also has great diagrams to make ideas clear.
PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) has developed this online animation associated with its program Savage Seas. The simulator allows you to investigate the effects of waves. The links at the bottom of the page lead to other simulators. Wave Kinematics Page (219, #4 ) From the University of Texas, this is the page for an online application allowing the simulation of the factors involved in wave kinematics. Although the units are not in SI, You are allowed to alter the variables to see the impact of individual changes on the wave created.
Coastal Carolina University Biology Department has put this page together. It describes the characteristics of waves as they approach a shore and what happens when they reach it. The Perfect Storm: Wave Simulator Page (219, #4 ) This site simulates the action of waves during a "Perfect Storm". The animation is based on data collected from Canada's Oceanographic service. The site is part of Ocean Weather Inc.'s corporate Web site.
From the University of California at Sonoma, this is an online exercise/simulation of the effects of earthquakes and how the information is gathered and interpreted. Wave Action and Seismic Science Page (235, #23 ) TheTech Museum has produced this site introducing and describing wave action and seismic science. It has good animations and diagrams relating theory to the observed reality. Click the Next button at the top of the page to work your way through the site.
The Earth Sciences Department at Michigan Tech has prepared this informative site on earthquakes. It helps understand what earthquakes are and how they happen. It has explanations for all types of waves during earthquakes The Pendulum Page (235, #26 ) From the Treasure-Troves library of data, this is a resource site that provides all of the mathematical formulas on the pendulum and the theories behind the pendulum. It also has some neat simulations of simple harmonic motion.
A private online website on the history of clocks and the role of the pendulum in developing accurate time keeping devices. The site provides information on when the pendulum was used in clocks, and why. What Makes the Sydney Olympic Pool So Fast? Page (235, #27 ) This article on the Sydney swimming pool explains how the swimming pool reduces water turbulence. Pool Producing World Records Page (235, #27 ) From the newspaper of Berry College, this article explains how turbulence influences a swimmer and the introduction of the anti-wave rope.
