Wave motion written questions
Answer H2 Physics questions on wave properties, intensity and polarisation, then check your written reasoning using marking guidance.
Learning goals
- Describe wave models, use wave quantities and interpret wave graphs in space and time.
- Relate phase difference to separations in time and position.
- Use wave intensity, amplitude and inverse-square relationships with their assumptions.
- Explain polarisation and apply Malus’ law to amplitude and intensity.
