How Waves Reflect, Resonate, and Form Standing Waves

AT&T Tech Channel · Lecture · YouTube title: AT&T Archives: Similiarities of Wave Behavior (Bonus Edition)
Why it's here

HN repeatedly calls it the clearest introduction to waves and transmission-line behavior, better than modern explainers.

What it covers

A Bell Labs film in which Dr. J.N. Shive uses a mechanical wave machine to demonstrate reflection, standing waves, resonance and impedance matching. He includes some equations but relies mostly on real-world examples a layperson can follow.
