Teaching Waves with Google Earth
Logiurato, Fabrizio
Physics Education, v47 n1 p73-77 Jan 2012
Google Earth is a huge source of interesting illustrations of various natural phenomena. It can represent a valuable tool for science education, not only for teaching geography and geology, but also physics. Here we suggest that Google Earth can be used for introducing in an attractive way the physics of waves. (Contains 9 figures.)
