Course Overview
This GCSE Physics guide covers everything you need to know about waves for your AQA exams. You'll explore three main areas that build on each other naturally.
First, you'll learn about waves in air, fluids and solids - including how transverse and longitudinal waves behave differently, wave properties like frequency and amplitude, and how sound waves work. Then you'll discover electromagnetic waves - from radio waves to X-rays, including how we use them in everyday life and how lenses work with light.
Finally, you'll study black body radiation - how objects emit and absorb infrared radiation, which explains everything from thermal cameras to why space is cold.
Quick tip: Waves transfer energy, not matter - remember this key concept and you'll understand most wave behaviour!

Learning Structure
The course is organised into LearnIT! and KnowIT! sections that work together to build your understanding step by step.
LearnIT! sections introduce new concepts with clear explanations and diagrams. You'll start with the basics like what makes transverse waves different from longitudinal waves, then move on to more complex ideas like wave calculations and real-world applications.
KnowIT! sections help you practise and memorise the key facts you need for exams. These include important equations, definitions, and examples that commonly appear in test questions.
Study smart: Use the LearnIT! sections to understand concepts, then test yourself with KnowIT! sections to check you've got it sorted.

Transverse and Longitudinal Waves
Think of transverse waves like a Mexican wave at a football stadium - people move up and down whilst the wave travels sideways around the stadium. In transverse waves, particles vibrate perpendicular (at 90°) to the direction the wave travels.
Longitudinal waves work more like a slinky spring being pushed and pulled. The particles vibrate parallel to the wave direction, creating areas of compression (squashed together) and rarefaction (spread apart).
Water waves, light waves, and vibrating guitar strings are all transverse waves. Sound waves and some earthquake waves (P-waves) are longitudinal. Remember: it's energy that moves from place to place, not the actual particles!
Memory trick: Transverse = across (like crossing the road), Longitudinal = along (like longitude lines on a map).

Wave Properties and Measurements
Every wave has four key properties you need to know. Wavelength (λ) is the distance between two identical points on consecutive waves - peak to peak or trough to trough. Amplitude measures how far particles move from their resting position.
Frequency tells you how many complete waves pass a point each second (measured in Hz). Period is the time for one complete wave to pass (measured in seconds).
For longitudinal waves, instead of peaks and troughs, you get compressions (where particles are squashed together) and rarefactions (where particles are spread apart). The wavelength is still measured from compression to compression.
Exam focus: You'll definitely need to identify these properties on wave diagrams, so practise labelling them!

of 10
Wave Speed Calculations
The wave equation is your most important tool: wave speed = frequency × wavelength . This works for all waves, from sound to light to water ripples.
You also need the period equation: period = 1/frequency . If a wave has a frequency of 0.5 Hz, its period is 1/0.5 = 2 seconds.
Let's try an example: a wave with frequency 0.5 Hz and wavelength 6 cm (0.06 m). Wave speed = 0.5 × 0.06 = 0.03 m/s. The period = 1/0.5 = 2 seconds.
Calculator tip: Always convert measurements to metres and seconds before calculating - it'll save you marks in exams!

of 10
Measuring Sound Speed
You can measure sound speed using a simple method with a cannon and stopwatch. Stand 100m away from a cannon - when it fires, you see the flash instantly but hear the sound later.
If the sound takes 0.3 seconds to reach you, then: speed = distance/time = 100/0.3 = 333 m/s. This is roughly the speed of sound in air.
In the lab, you'd use two microphones placed a known distance apart. A loudspeaker makes a sound, and you measure how long it takes to travel between the microphones. Same calculation, just more precise!
Real-world connection: This is why you see lightning before hearing thunder - light travels much faster than sound!
7
of 10
Measuring Water Wave Speed
A ripple tank lets you create and study water waves in the lab. An oscillating paddle creates regular waves, while a strobe light flashing at the same frequency makes the waves appear to stand still.
You measure the wavelength by using a ruler to find the distance between wave peaks (those bright lines you see). Then use the wave equation: speed = frequency × wavelength.
For example, if your paddle creates waves at 5 Hz and you measure a wavelength of 0.6 cm (0.006 m): wave speed = 5 × 0.006 = 0.03 m/s.
Practical tip: Make sure your strobe frequency exactly matches the wave frequency, or the waves will appear to move slowly!
8
of 10
Sound Waves Changing Medium
When sound travels from air into water, something interesting happens. The frequency stays exactly the same because it depends on the source (like a vibrating speaker), not the medium.
However, sound travels much faster in water than air. Since speed increases but frequency stays constant, the wavelength must increase to keep the wave equation balanced.
Example: a 260 Hz sound travels at 330 m/s in air and 1500 m/s in water. Wavelength in air = 330/260 = 1.27 m. Wavelength in water = 1500/260 = 5.77 m - much longer!
Key insight: Frequency is like a wave's fingerprint - it never changes, no matter what medium the wave travels through.
9
of 10
Reflection of Waves
When waves hit a boundary, three things can happen: reflection (bouncing back), absorption (energy turns to heat), or transmission (passing through).
For reflection, there's a simple rule: angle of incidence = angle of reflection. Both angles are measured from the normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface).
This works for all waves - sound bouncing off walls (creating echoes), light reflecting from mirrors, or water waves bouncing off harbour walls. The smoother the surface, the better the reflection.
Exam trick: Always draw your angles from the normal line, not from the surface itself - it's a common mistake that loses marks!
