In this episode, host Dianna Cowern tackles the phenomenon of white rainbows. They are also known as spider web rainbows, and Dianna explains how these form. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
Things really get spinning with a discussion of accelerated circular motion. The Standard Deviants explain rotational motion, which is the rotation of objects like planets. Along the way, students learn about radical radians and linear momentum. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
What is light? How does it operate? What are its properties? Why is it so important to the foundations of our physical world? Examines the nature of light and how it's harnessed in our lives. Explains the basic properties of light and the wave model. Also, discusses the concepts of wavelength, frequency, speed, reflection, refraction, total internal reflection, and dispersion. Explains the EMR spectrum, the color of objects, and the addition and subtraction of colors.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern experiments with straws and water to discuss convex and concave lenses. Is it possible to create a lens in a straw? Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
Investigates some of the key concepts of physics. Using a drum kit, we look at how sound works, how we make it, and how it gets around. Also, examines electricity and electromagnetism and notes the similarities between a remote control car and a mobile phone charger. Finally, takes a look at radioactivity and identifies a radioactive device that can be found in almost every family home.
The world's largest digital camera is currently being assembled at a warehouse in California, and host Dianna Cowern is there for the revealing of the lenses for this camera. These lenses will go on the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, which will conduct a giant sky survey by taking panorama photos. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern explores one of the most mysterious discoveries in physics from the 1960's: a constant microwave signal that seemed to be coming from everywhere in the universe. It turned out to be light from an unusual process 13.8 billion years ago and originated from the beginning of the universe. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
Singers try to sing into a pipe and find certain notes are impossible to sing, even for professionals. Why does this happen? The answer is resonant frequencies. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
The Standard Deviants explore Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Next, they discuss simple harmonic motion pendulums. Other topics covered include cycle, amplitude, wavelength, frequency, spring constants, and the restoring force. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern studies the power of sound. She joins a group of performers to experiment with the powerful speakers at U Street Music Hall in Washington, DC. Part of the "Physics Girls" series. Please note this video may potentially trigger seizures for viewers with photosensitive epilepsy.
Host Dianna Cowern conducts various experiments with a ping pong cannon. She shoots a high-powered ping pong ball at different objects and discusses the physics behind the destruction caused by a speeding ping pong ball. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern details her trip to CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. During her visit she explores particles and learns more about the Large Hadron Collider. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern explores how magnetic paper works. She uses the paper on common electronic devices to reveal all their magnetic parts. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
What happens when black holes collide? What is the speed of gravity? There are so many weird questions related to gravitational waves, and host Dianna Cowern interviews Dr. Michael Landry for a better understanding of gravitational waves. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
There’s a factory in Europe that makes antimatter. It’s the rarest, most expensive, and potentially the most dangerous material on Earth. Scientists don’t know why this material is so rare, and its rarity makes it a costly substance. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern interviews planetary geologist Raquel Nuno. They discuss the reasons why Mars is inhabitable for humans. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern meets with math experts to discuss the phenomenon of "wine tears." They conduct experiments with various types of liquids to try and uncover the science behind this mystery. Part of the "Physics Girl" series. Please note this title uses alcoholic beverages as the basis for the experiments.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern visits LIGO again and continues her discussion on gravitational waves. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern races against the clock to complete 20 physics experiments in five minutes. Feel free to try them at home but note that some require adult supervision. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
