Waves GCSE Physics Bundle

Perfect if you teach GCSE Physics Single or Combined Science, this fully differentiated and resourced topic bundle supports your students in learning about Waves.

Students will:

1. Recall that waves transfer energy and information without transferring matter
2. Describe evidence that with water and sound waves it is the wave and not the water or air itself that travels
3. Define and use the terms frequency and wavelength as applied to waves
4. Use the terms amplitude, period, wave velocity and wavefront as applied to waves
   5.Describe the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves by referring to sound, electromagnetic, seismic and water waves
5. Recall and use the equations to calculate wave speed
6. Describe how to measure the velocity of sound in air and ripples on water surfaces
7. Describe the effects of reflection, refraction, transmission, and absorption of waves at material interfaces
8. Explain how waves will be refracted at a boundary in terms of the change of direction and speed
9. Describe the difference between ultrasound and infrasound, and explain the uses of each.
