Part of the Eduqas GCSE Combined Science curriculum.
Eduqas GCSE Combined Science Topics 5–6 Waves and Electromagnetic Radiation is a step-by-step online learn guide for GCSE students in Years 10 and 11, mapped to the Eduqas specification (Eduqas GCSE (9–1) Combined Science (C430) – Concepts in Physics, Topics 5–6: Waves in matter; Light and electromagnetic waves). It covers transverse and longitudinal waves, describing waves, wave speed calculations, measuring wave speed, reflection and refraction, the electromagnetic spectrum and uses and hazards of electromagnetic radiation, 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, Transverse wave, Amplitude, Wavelength, Wave equation, Wave speed, Ripple tank, Stroboscope, Normal, Law of reflection, Electromagnetic spectrum and Speed of light.
