AS Waves

1. Types of Wave

   • Stationary Waves
   • Electromagnetic
   • Longitudinal
   • Transverse

2. Polarisation

   • Plane-polarised
   • Unpolarised
   • Plane of polarisation

3. Key Terms

   • Displacement
   • Amplitude
   • Wavelength
   • Complete cycle
   • Period
   • Frequency

4. Phase Difference

5. Wave properties

   • Reflection
   • Refraction
   • Diffraction

6. Super position

   • WHEN TWO WAVES MEET THE TOTAL DISPLACEMENT AT A POINT IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF THE INDIVIDUAL DISPLACEMENTS AT THAT POINT
     • Example
       • Stationary waves
         • Formation
         • Explaination
       • Water Ripples
