(2:3) The Wave Equation: Derivation (Walter Lewin, MIT)

Prof. Walter Lewin, of the Dept. of Physics at MIT, derives the wave equation for a string and explains its consequences.

This clip was taken from the Prof. Lewin's class "8.03 Vibrations & Waves" and can be found at:

how the fuck does he do the dotted line thing? jesus christ.. mind = blown

[beafraid]

Cool freakin chalk.

[jesusgray922]

I want this video on my A31 phone.

[RHDB17]

he changes the angle of the chalk hes holding

i bet at 42 degrees

[Ghaiyst]

that dot technique....would be usful for getting 100 percent on through the fire and flames on expert! :) lol

It's dotted chalk. He has it shipped in from Rotterdam.

I had a 10:48 minute long mindgasm. Thank You @ MIT OCW

I know chalk boards are hard to find now days. but it's easy to do: hold the chalk loosely in your hand and hold it at an angle so that it's ahead of your hand.  Push it in the direction of your line and it skips making a dotted line. Too easy.

@lifeDotGov i have no idea but its awesome lol
