Welcome to Waves

This science aid catagory is all about waves. they are difficult to define, but you can think of them as a disturbance that travels through space and carries energy. In this section you will be able to find articles about:

  • Difference between transverse and longitudinal waves
  • the electromagnetic spectrum
  • total internal reflection (TIR)

    • Properties of WavesA wave (amplitude, frequency etc), wave equation, difference transverse and longitudinal waves.
    Electromagnetic SpectrumThis spectrum includes microwaves, light, and gamma rays, learn their uses and dangers.
    SoundProperties of sound waves (frequency, amplitude) and ultrasound (uses in sonar and medical imaging.
    Reflection & RefractionReflection (angle of incidence=angle of reflection; refraction and speed of light; total internal reflection.
