Waves
infoWhy this? Wave models explain how disturbances transfer energy and account for phenomena such as interference, diffraction, and polarisation. Studying these behaviours allows us to interpret sound and light phenomena and understand applications involving coherent waves and optical systems.
scheduleWhy now? This unit extends GCSE wave concepts into more precise mathematical descriptions and develops the wave aspect of the quantum ideas introduced in Particles and Radiation. Understanding frequency, phase, and wave behaviour also prepares us to connect oscillations and resonance in Year 13 Periodic Motion.
