Properties of waves | AQA GCSE Physics revision

A wave is how energy is passed from one medium to another. We explore the key properties of transverse and longitudinal waves, including frequency, amplitude and wavelength. Transverse waves have vibrations perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, while longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions along the same direction as energy transfer. Diagrams are included and there are quiz questions to test your understanding.
