Waves flashcards
Every deck we have for Waves, part of AQA GCSE Physics. 130 questions written against the published specification, free to study with no account. Each deck schedules its own reviews, so cards you find hard come back sooner than ones you have already got right.
Wave Properties and Wave Speed
28 cardsTransverse and longitudinal waves, amplitude wavelength frequency and period, the wave speed equation, and the required practicals in a ripple tank and on a string.
Reflection, Refraction and Sound
26 cardsThe law of reflection, why refraction happens at a boundary, how we hear, ultrasound, and what seismic waves reveal about the structure of the Earth. Physics only content.
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
26 cardsThe seven groups in order, what they have in common, how frequency and wavelength change across the spectrum, and the required practical on infrared radiation.
Uses and Hazards of Electromagnetic Waves
24 cardsWhat each part of the spectrum is used for and why its properties suit that job, plus the dangers of ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.
Lenses, Colour and Black Body Radiation
26 cardsConvex and concave lenses, real and virtual images, magnification, why objects appear coloured, and how black body radiation controls the temperature of the Earth. Physics only content.
