General Properties Of Waves
Akopọ
Drop a pebble into a still pond and something strange happens. Rings race outwards across the surface, faster than you could swim, and a leaf floating two metres away lifts, tips and settles back down. The leaf does not travel. It ends the afternoon exactly where it began. Yet something crossed those two metres of water, because the leaf moved and it was the pebble that moved it. Whatever made that journey carried no water with it at all.
That is the idea this lesson is built on, and it is one of the most useful in the whole of physics. The same description covers the ripple on the pond, the note from a guitar, the light reaching your eye from this page and the signal your phone pulled out of the air a moment ago. You will learn the two ways a wave can oscillate, the five words physicists use to measure one, the single equation that ties speed, frequency and wavelength together, and what happens when a wave runs into a boundary, changes speed or squeezes through a gap. You will also meet the one required practical the Waves section carries, in which a ray of light is sent into a glass block and watched as it bends. By the end you will be able to say why a hill blocks your car radio in one band but not another, and why a medical scanner uses sound far too high for you to hear. Every statement in this lesson is examined on both the Core Tier and the Extension Tier.

- A wave is a disturbance caused by an oscillating source that transfers energy and information in the direction of wave travel, without transferring matter.
- In a transverse wave the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
- In a longitudinal wave the oscillations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Longitudinal waves have areas of compression and rarefaction.
- Electromagnetic waves and water waves are transverse, sound waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves may be either transverse or longitudinal.
- Waves can be reflected, transmitted or absorbed (or a combination of these) at the boundary between two different materials.
- Waves can undergo refraction due to a change in speed and diffraction through a narrow gap or at an edge. Students should appreciate that for appreciable diffraction to take place the wavelength of the wave has to be comparable to the size of the obstacle or gap. Students may be required to apply these ideas to the reduction of diffraction in optical instruments, ultrasound waves in medicine and radio wave reception. Required practical: Investigate the refraction of light in glass blocks.
- Wave motion can be described in terms of their frequency, wavelength, period, amplitude and wavefront. Students should be able to explain the meaning of these terms.
- The relationship between wave speed, v, frequency, f, and wavelength, λ, is:
