About waves slides
GoConqr OriginalWhat the Waves slides cover
The slide sets offer several ways into this Physics unit. Year Nine Physics GCSE introduces terms such as crest, trough and wavelength. Wave Properties - Physics covers amplitude, wavelength and frequency, while the sound slides look at vibrations. Other sets cover ionisation, the electromagnetic spectrum and the Doppler effect.
How to use the slide sets
Start with Year Nine Physics GCSE if you want to review wave vocabulary. Then use Wave Properties - Physics to revisit the quantities used to describe waves. For a narrower topic, choose a set on sound or the Doppler effect and note the terms you want to remember.
After reading, switch to a quiz on the Waves unit page to practise recalling what you have studied. Return to the slides if you want to check an idea, or use a mind map to organise related terms. Choose a slide set and begin with the topic you want to revise.
Frequently asked questions
Which slide set is a good starting point?
Year Nine Physics GCSE is a useful starting point for wave vocabulary. It introduces terms including crest, trough and wavelength. If you want to focus on quantities used to describe waves, Wave Properties - Physics also covers amplitude, wavelength and frequency.
Are these slide sets free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed on this page is free to open and study, and you do not need an account. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The slide sets were made by GoConqr users.
Do these slides suit school revision?
Yes. The collection is mainly at school level, and Year Nine Physics GCSE is one starting point for students revising wave vocabulary. Teachers looking for ready-made material can also browse the slide sets by topic, including sound, wave properties and the electromagnetic spectrum.
