MIT OCW - 8.03 Physics III: Vibrations and Waves
MIT OCW - 8.03 Physics III: Vibrations and Waves (Fall 2004). This consists of 23 video lectures given by Professor
Walter Lewin, on vibrations and waves. In addition to the traditional topics of mechanical vibrations and waves,
coupled oscillators, and electro-magnetic radiation, other interesting topics are covered in this course: musical
instruments, red sunsets, glories, coronae, rainbows, haloes, X-ray binaries, neutron stars, black holes and
big-bang cosmology.
