Part of the AQA GCSE Combined Science curriculum.
AQA GCSE Combined Science 6.6 Waves is a step-by-step online learn guide for GCSE students in Years 10 and 11, mapped to the AQA specification (AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464) – 6.6 Waves). It covers transverse and longitudinal waves, properties of waves and the wave equation, measuring wave speed – Required practical 20, the electromagnetic spectrum, refraction, infrared radiation – Required practical 21 and uses and hazards of electromagnetic waves, then brings it all together with mixed retrieval and exam practice.
There are 23 short steps of about 15 minutes (roughly 6 hours of learning), each made of bite-size explanations with key words, tables and examples, and every bite-size is followed by an activity you check straight away. Key terms include Wave, Medium, Amplitude, Wavelength, Ripple tank, Signal generator, Electromagnetic wave, Electromagnetic spectrum, Refraction, Normal, Infrared radiation and Emitter.
