Jorstad’s PHYS 162

Video Lectures

Playlist on YouTube

Playlists for PHYS 162 (I plan to complete them during the Spring 2025 semester):

    Volume 3 Playlist (oscillations, waves, sound, & thermo)

    Volume 5 Playlist (optics & modern physics)

 

SBCC instructor Mike Young makes good lecture videos in a style similar to mine.  I spot-checked his playlist from SBCC and he covers pretty much the same topics with similar notation (topics in a slightly different order).
