Lesson 0: Vibrations

Lesson 0 discusses concepts of vibration and periodic motion; emphasis is placed upon the motion of a pendulum and a mass on a spring. Items in the group's pool grandfather clocks, trampoline, pendula, springs, and much more. Photos complement many of the discussions from Lesson 0 of the Waves chapter of The Physics Classroom Tutorial.
