About waves mind maps

GoConqr Original

Explore waves mind maps

These maps offer different ways into the Waves unit. Properties of Waves is a place to begin if you want to revisit the topic broadly. For a particular area, explore Sound and light, Seismic waves or The Electromagnetic Spectrum.

If you are working on light, Refraction of Light focuses on one part of the topic. Total Internal Reflection also includes critical angle and optical fibres. Choose the map that matches the idea you want to review, rather than trying to cover every branch at once.

Revise with a map

Read a branch, then cover it and explain its key terms in your own words. Return to the map to check what you missed. When you want to practise answering questions instead, switch to a quiz on the Waves unit page. You can then return to a relevant branch for another look.

Pick a topic and explore its branches.

Frequently asked questions

Which mind map should I start with?

Start with Properties of Waves if you want a broad topic to revisit. If you already know which area needs attention, choose a more focused map, such as Refraction of Light or Seismic waves. Read a branch at a time and check the terms you want to remember.

Which school courses do these maps suit?

The listing includes maps relevant to GCSE and A-level Physics. For example, A Level Physics OCR includes wave behaviour among its topics, while another map focuses on refractive index for AQA GCSE Physics. Check each map's content to see whether it matches what you are studying or teaching.

Are the mind maps free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The resources on this page were made by GoConqr users.
