A great revision technique to go up a grade in Physics A Level is to memorise all the definitions. These are 1,2 or 3 mark wave definitions which will give your students the edge and it is especially useful for students who depend on their maths skills to solve problems, but it is difficult to derive an A Level standard definition during an exam!
The definitions are for:
frequency
period
wavelength
amplitude
longitudinal wave
transverse wave
coherent
superposition
phase
phase difference
path difference
Huygen’s construction
diffraction
standing wave
node
antinode
refraction
critical angle
total internal reflection
focal point
virtual image
real image
plane polarisation
ultrasound
infrasound
wavefront
intereference
This pdf is easy to make into a set of colourful flash cards, and having them around, as opposed to online, ensures students can use them for a quick starter, plenary or for a break during a long lesson.
The definitions are written to an A Level standard, double checked against mark schemes on past paper exams for the wave topic.
