ESP Biography

Have you ever wondered how sound moves through the air? Or how light moves through space? It’s hard to answer, but in this class, we will explore sound waves and light waves through experiment. Together we’ll build up our intuition about waves using a simple spring then explore interference (when two waves meet at a point) and diffraction (when a wave goes through a small hole) using sound and lasers. The results will be quite unexpected.

Have you ever wondered how a wave moves through the ocean? Is the water itself moving with the wave? It’s a hard question to answer, but in this class, we will explore ocean waves and other wave phenomena through experiment. Together we’ll build up our intuition about waves using a simple string then explore interference (when two waves meet at a point) and diffraction (when a wave goes through a small hole) using water and lasers. The results will be quite unexpected.
