Watched from India....Thanks for explaining in practical manner ..I don't know why our school don't teach in that way all they want to only learn and pass the exam...Big Thanks to Dr Keith ....

[@abhijithshaju8963]

Yeah bro...our schools are only worried about the results they dont care if we understood the topic or nit

[@stigsindiancousin6997]

Because in india need marks not understanding

He is a professor and not a metric school teacher 🙄

[@adarsh915]

@@abhijithshaju8963 In india every one wants to be a part of upper hierarchy, doesn't matter through which field they go, if teachers like this Sir, use similar funny methods, growing children would not be attracted to imbecile bollywood, 'holy sacred' male female gap, etc.

[@ruchirathore5854]

Haha no man I am definitely not going to use those boring pattern of using lecture method...... Trends these days are now changing and more cool 😎 teachers in India are now evolving...

P wave(through solid) - 2:55 S wave(through solid) - 4:44 P wave(through liquid/gas) - 6:26 S wave(through liquid/gas) - 7:56

S wave (through liquid/gas) should be zero...

[@natsudragneel2851]

S-waves can only travel solid u see the demonstration it cannot send the energy..

[@swethaiyer1323]

I like the fact how this is still helpful even after 9-10 years. We need cool teachers like you sir!!

Some of them are! I'm studying in Brazil (UFRGS) and my teacher explained it to me the exact same way!

[@kuniliberoy6784]

hahaha

[@kirkpreston8869]

Why? Because not all students are like this. It is extremely frustrating, being a teacher, and trying to do things like this with kids that just don't care and want to do nothing but socialize and goof off (middle schoolers)

[@dollydeori7590]

Exactly... Only if our teachers were this cooperative

[@danreed3360]

This is a wonderful and fun demonstration. I've used the slinky, but this demonstrates the shearing effect on fluids so well. I brought my 8th graders to the wrestling room (padded), and did this. They LOVED it. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@oliviascrimshaw4514]

Great visualization of this difficult topic. When you do not have a visual of this concept it is hard to wrap your head around it. This was a lifesaver! Thanks so much!

[@melissawise5452]

I have been doing a similar demonstration with my 8th graders for years. We just bump shoulders to pass the P-waves, but other than that, it's the same! Thanks for posting this. I was sad I wouldn't be able to this particular demo this year, what with virtual learning and social distancing. Now I can show them this. Thank you so much!

[@sicskarnal]

i really like this method to tell about seismic waves.....nice...

[@kunalpuri6035]

Finally got the concept. Wow what a demonstration. Thanks sir.

[@komalpatel2423]

I actually understood the P and S waves, through your demonstrations. I thought I wouldn't intially. You are a good teacher

[@riteshkarmakar3597]

I was confused about this for a long time. what a great way of teaching. Awesome!

[@nikhilkumarnmlovemp]

Great demonstration, now in my whole life I can't forget P and S wave. Thanks Miller Sahab

[@keithbmill]

Gerald -- S waves are body waves in which the motion is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Don't think in terms of up and down or side to side as much as perpendicular. Think of the difference between snapping a rope (s wave) and sending a compression wave down a slinky (p wave).

[@kagura9859]

Thank you so much :D

Whenever I have to revise the concepts of seismic waves...I simply watch this one video! Brilliantly explained...watched it multiple times.. Thanks Doc! Love from India.

Anyone can clear their doubt related to P&S wave after watching this video...! Excellent sir👏

[@jeanlialingling40hrs76]

[@epiceminence]

I used this demonstration to help my 8th graders understand the difference between S and P waves. Thanks a lot, it helped them better grasp the concept.

[@nimrodkapingatheu5475]

[@motiveworld2110]

This kind of explanations are needed for every concept..I think I will never forget this concept in my whole life

Great demonstration sir! Finally i can use this one so that my class can better understand the s and the p waves

[@bilugirish8003]

Thanks Dr. Keith. Your demonstration helped my son Karthik studying in 7 th grade understand the waves better

[@riyasrivastava6178]

I finally figured out that why S wave does not pass through liquid.....mind blowing demonstration sir👏👏😇😇

Excellent 👍 Watching from India

[@balogunshamusideen7813]

This was very helpful, I am a visual learner as well as hands on and this helped me a lot. Thank you.

[@piyushsingh8399]

It shows how we can learn effectively by way of visually stimulating our brain for such complex concepts. A great video indeed!

[@AdamTaylor2footgiraffe]

This is great. Without explaining the different body waves on the atomic level specifically the presence or lack of atomic bonds, S waves inability to perpetuate through liquids does not make sense. Love it.

[@rianapella]

This guy is clearly a great teacher. Well done.

[@GrayWatch-s3b]

Thank you for demonstrating P & S waves in such a direct way. I'm going to try this among kids in a popular science class, hope it work well.
