P1 A spectrum of waves
  1. Wave properties
    1. The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle from its rest postiion
      1. The crest of a wave is the highest point on a wave above its rest position
        1. The trough of a wave is the lowest point on a wave below its rest position
          1. The wavelength of a wave is the distance between who successive points on a wave having the same displacement and moving in the same direction
            1. The frequency of a wave is the number of complete waves passing a point in one second
              1. Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
              2. Getting messages across
                1. Some optical instruments use two or more plane mirrors
                  1. Refraction occurs because the speed of waves decreases as the wave enters a more dense medium and increases as the wave enters a less dense medium. The frequency stays the same but the wavelength changes
                    1. Diffraction is the spreading out of a wave as it passes through a gap.
                      1. The size of a communications receiver depends on the wavelength of the radiation
