| What is the amplitude of a wave? | The amplitude is a wave’s maximum displacement from the equilibrium position (units are m). |
| The frequency, f is the number of complete oscillations passing through a point per second (units are Hz). | Frequency, f |
| What does the wavelength, λ of a wave represent? | The wavelength, λ is the length of one whole oscillation (e.g., the distance between successive peaks or troughs) (units are m). |
| What is phase in the context of a wave? | Phase is the position of a certain point on a wave cycle (units are radians, degrees, or fractions of a cycle). |
| What does the period, T of a wave measure? | The period, T is the time taken for one full oscillation (units are s). |
| What must two points have to be in phase? | Same displacement, velocity, frequency, and wavelength (not amplitude). |
| Two points are completely out of phase when they are an odd integer of half cycles apart, e.g. 5 half cycles apart (1 half cycle = 180° or π radians). | Completely Out of Phase |

| In transverse waves, the oscillation of particles (or fields) is at right angles to the direction of energy transfer. | Transverse Waves |
| What kind of waves are all electromagnetic (EM) waves, and what is their speed in a vacuum? | EM waves are transverse and travel at 3 x 10⁸ m/s in a vacuum. |
| Transverse waves can be demonstrated by shaking a slinky vertically or through waves on a string attached to a signal generator. | Demonstrating Transverse Waves |
| In which direction do particles oscillate in longitudinal waves? | In longitudinal waves, particles oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer. |
| Longitudinal waves are made up of compressions and rarefactions and cannot travel in a vacuum. | Longitudinal Waves |
| Give an example of a longitudinal wave and how it can be demonstrated. | Sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, and it can be demonstrated by pushing a slinky horizontally. |
| A polarised wave oscillates in only one plane (e.g., only up and down). Only transverse waves can be polarised. | Polarised Wave |
| What evidence does polarisation provide for the nature of transverse waves? | Polarisation shows that transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to their direction of travel, as only transverse waves can be polarised. |
| Polaroid sunglasses reduce glare by blocking partially polarised light reflected from water and tarmac. They only allow oscillations in the plane of the filter | Polaroid Sunglasses |
| How are TV and radio signals related to polarisation? | TV and radio signals are usually plane-polarised by the orientation of the rods on the transmitting aerial. The receiving aerial must be aligned in the same plane to receive the signal at full strength. |
| What is superposition? | The combination of two waves' displacements to form a resultant displacement. |
| Occurs when two waves have displacements in the same direction, resulting in a larger wave. | Constructive Interference |
| When does constructive interference happen? | When two waves have displacements in the same direction. |
| Happens when one wave has positive displacement and the other has negative. Equal and opposite displacements cause total cancellation. | Destructive Interference |
| What is destructive interference? | When one wave's displacement is positive and the other's is negative. If equal, total cancellation occurs. |
| Formed by two progressive waves moving in opposite directions with the same frequency, wavelength, and amplitude. | Stationary Wave |
| How does a stationary wave form? | By two progressive waves moving in opposite directions with the same frequency, wavelength, and amplitude. |
| No energy is transferred by a stationary wave. | Energy Transfer in Stationary Waves |
| Is energy transferred by a stationary wave? | No, energy is not transferred by a stationary wave. |
| Where are antinodes formed in a stationary wave? | Antinodes are formed where the waves meet in phase, resulting in regions of maximum amplitude. |
| What are nodes in a stationary wave? | Nodes are regions of no displacement formed where the waves meet completely out of phase during destructive interference. |
| How is a stationary wave formed on a string? | A stationary wave is formed when a wave traveling down a string is reflected at the fixed end and travels back, causing superposition of the waves with the same wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. |
| What is the first harmonic in a stationary wave? | The lowest frequency with two nodes and a single antinode, where the distance between adjacent nodes (or antinodes) is half a wavelength. |
| The formula for calculating frequency is: where L is the length of the string, T is the tension, and μ is the mass per unit length. | Frequency Calculation |
