The Wave Equation Part 2: Multidimensional Waves and Dispersion

from Professor Dave Explains Hosted by Professor Dave Explains

We just learned about the wave equation in one dimension, so what happens when we move to higher dimensions? What does this look like for a 2D surface, like a vibrating drum, or a 3D object, like an electron? This gets pretty fascinating!Script by Lorcan NichollsWatch the whole Differential Equations playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveDiffeqWatch the whole Mathematics playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathClassical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2General Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn
