This is a detailed and engaging REVISION lesson which uses a range of exam questions, understanding checks, quick tasks and quiz competitions to enable students to assess their understanding of the content within topic 3 (Waves) of the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Physics 9-1 specification (4PH1) for first assessment in June 2019.
The specification points that are covered in this revision lesson include:
- Use the following units: degree (°), hertz (Hz), metre (m), metre/second (m/s) and second (s)
- Explain the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves
- Know the definitions of amplitude, frequency, wavelength and period of a wave
- Know and use the relationship between the speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave
- Use the relationship between frequency and time period
- Explain that all waves can be reflected and refracted
- Know that light is part of a continuous electromagnetic spectrum that includes radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma ray radiations and that all these waves travel at the same speed in free space
- Know the order of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of decreasing wavelength and increasing frequency, including the colours of the visible spectrum
- Explain some of the uses of electromagnetic radiations
- Draw ray diagrams to illustrate refraction
- Know and use the relationship between refractive index, angle of incidence and angle of refraction
- Describe the role of total internal reflection in transmitting information along optical fibres and in prisms
- Explain the meaning of critical angle c
- Know and use the relationship between critical angle and refractive index
- Know that sound waves are longitudinal waves which can be reflected and refracted
- Know that the frequency range for human hearing is 20–20 000 Hz
- Understand how the loudness of a sound relates to the amplitude of vibration of the source
The students will thoroughly enjoy the range of activities, which include quiz competitions such as “Should you WAVE goodbye” where they have to decide whether a passage about a sub-topic of waves is completely correct whilst all the time evaluating and assessing which areas of this topic will need their further attention. This lesson can be used as revision resource at the end of the topic or in the lead up to mocks or the actual International GCSE exams
