UK-GCSE-SCIENCE-PHYS-WAV-01-01
describe wave motion in terms of amplitude, wavelength, frequency and period; define wavelength and frequency and describe and apply the relationship between these and the wave velocity
UK-GCSE-SCIENCE-PHYS-WAV-01-02
describe the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves
UK-GCSE-SCIENCE-PHYS-WAV-01-03
