Lecture

Experiments, Energy, and Resonances

Description

This lecture delves into various experiments related to energy and resonances. Starting with the phenomenon of breaking a glass by screaming, the instructor discusses the Tacoma bridge collapse, multiple oscillatory modes in a system, and clock synchronization. Through experiments like the glass balloon and the Wilberforce pendulum, the lecture explores how energy can transition between different oscillatory modes. The demonstration of clock synchronization showcases the coupling between identical metronomes, highlighting the concept of resonance.
