OCR P6 - what are waves

1. transverse waves

   • explain the difference between transverse and longitudinal
   • example

2. longitudinal waves

   • example

3. definition of frequency

   • units

4. definition of wavelength

5. amplitude

   • activity - draw a wave and label amplitude and wavelength
   • activity - draw a normal wave. Then draw the same wave with double amplitude and double the wavelength

6. wave speed = frequency x wavelength (metre per second m/s) (hertz, Hz) (metre, m);
