u cover everything. It's really a relief

[@lenelene8814]

Hey Cognito, thank you for the videos! I did not understand everything until you uploaded the videos. Really appreciate it! You just got a new subscriber.

[@Cognitoedu]

If you’d like to practise what's covered in this video, check out the lesson on the Cognito platform - cognitoedu.org/coursesubtopic/p2-gcse-aqa-h-t_4.06. The platform’s totally free, and has been built to make learning and revision as easy as possible. The main features are: - Lessons organised by topic, only the lessons relevant to your specific exam board and tier are shown. - Automatic progress tracking. Progress bars tell you what you’re doing well at, and what you need to spend some time on. - Practise quizzes so you can test your knowledge. You can quiz yourself on any combination of topics you like. - A huge number of fully-hinted questions that take you step-by-step through some of the trickiest calculations & concepts. - A comprehensive bank of past exam papers, organised both by year, and also by topic.

Thank you !! I have watched all your videos on waves and now finally understand hahaha

[@meqa8208]

woah my teacher took literally 34 mins to explain this I was asleep while my teacher was teaching lol now I understood this for just 4 mins man you just got a new subscriber your videos are amazing

[@leonardogoncalvesjacometti4838]

your videos are truly amazing, thank you

[@gaurangapatel4024]

Cognito, any idea when space and cosmology will be discussed for Edexcel IGCSE and GCSE physics. Hertz-sprung Russell Diagram, Development of Stars etc..

[@Jess-jf9zj]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@thegarydosesales5043]

My teacher always recommends your videos haha

[@timwhaley8810]

Dude, I was just getting comfortable and ready for action and the video ended. When the radio wave is produced, can you “catch” the radio wave anywhere? That is, in a 360 degree radius? That is to say, anywhere in a sphere surrounding the radio wave source? So is the wave a spherical wave? If so, what happens to the excess energy lost? Thank you!

[@georgebaker3016]

[@thetotaldramaking5427]

You are a national treasure.

[@michaelsanchez4867]

colors with shorter wavelength may be dispersed further like the blue color but why it is opposite with the shorter wavelength of radio waves?

[@novokid6159]

Very good video; explains a concept of oscillations and producing radiowaves that I struggled to understand before :)

[@azra8300]

No

[@miltoslendo3176]

What is the wavelength of the very short radio waves?

[@ahmediftekhar345]

Your videos are really helpful to me😁

[@ahmediftekhar345]

Could you please explain to me how radiowaves are made as it did come up in a GCSE exam question last year

[@ahmediftekhar345]

Could you also make a video of conservation of energy and such laws cause i find them really confusing...making a video of them will grately benefit me... Thank you

[@qd156]

Wow, thank you for video so great!!

[@trino5269]

Hello your videos are awesome but it would be cool to have just the audio on a platform like Spotify so I can listen and do other thing at the same time thanks :)

[@Cognitoedu]

Hey Trinox thanks for the support - nice suggestion and noted :) might be a little while though haha

So are radio waves and photons one and the same? I mean surely photons carry more than visible light?

[@stustjohn]

That's quite a nice video... apart from the random introduction of "800" 😱 As well as being wrong information, it's also of no practical use whatsoever. Think about it: if I want to transfer a piece of information to you using a radio wave, say, 800 kHz, for example, *you* would need to know what frequency to tune your set to in order to receive my signal. But if you knew that , then the number I had "sent" would not be new information!

[@stustjohn]

Having watched it again, I can see (from your diagram) what you were trying to do, but this does not come across in the script. The problem is, of course, that we don't want to start GCSE students worrying about modulation. I think that your diagram hints at it - somehow you are going to put the 800 Hz wave into/onto (modulate) the higher frequency carrier wave. Then, the person who receives the carrier wave uses their receiver to strip off the added waveform (demodulate) and examine it... This is part of the frustration of much of the modern GCSE Physics syllabus: it gets tantalisingly close to being useful/relevant but then cuts off at the point where it might make some sense! (Compare also the mind-bending use of LDRs to control lamps in potential divider circuits, all because transistors are no longer on the syllabus. There are some crazy ideas appearing in textbooks and revision guides that attempt to make sense of this, rather than accepting we have a point in the circuit where the potential rises and falls according to the light level... which we can utilise with the right device, as long as it draws negligible current.) Sorry, I'll shut up now!

[@ahmediftekhar345]

Why do very short waves have to be directly transferred from transmitter to reciever? Why does an object get in tbe way?

[@rhyspounder9199]

1. They have to directly transfer from transmitter to receiver because they don't have much range. 2. An object gets in the way because it loses its strength because it goes A to B meaning it doesn't curve or anything it just goes straight through objects and the stronger insulator it is the more it loses its signal like going through paper wouldn't make a huge difference to most waves apart from ones with very short frequency such as gamma rays but lead will stop pretty much all waves if not bent around.

Thanks a lot. It really help

[@spiderx01]

Hello, what increases or decreases the transmission power? Voltage or amperage?

[@casondave]

NIce, too bad a lot of it is not quite there ..... you'd use s frequency generator not a "scope" to generate the frequency to go out. The oscilloscope is a measurement tool usually.

[@groggers]

a lot of oscilliscopes nowadays have built in signal generators, and yes while I agree it's good to be specific, this level of detail probably isn't required for the exams at GCSE

[@ifesjournal]

hi! would it be okay if i screenshotted some points in this video to use as flashcards? your videos are amazing. tysm, God bless x
