Standing Waves and Travelling Waves | A Level Physics Key Stage 5

Here’s a handout that I give my physics students for when we learn about the difference between stationary waves and progressive waves.

I’ve also included two videos to go along with this:

1. Video to explain the theory
2. Video to show you how to carry out an experiment to find the speed of light using the idea of nodes and anti-nodes in standing waves - I had a lot of fun doing this!

Enjoy!
