Transverse and longitudinal waves. GCSE worksheet to compare and contrast longitudinal and transverse waves. Students use a Venn diagram to sort different statements about longitudinal and transverse waves. Once their Venn diagrams are complete students can use the information to write a summary of these two wave types. Sound; Light
This is an GCSE worksheet from Flipped Around Physics, on transverse and logitudinal waves. Worksheet answers are available from the Flipped Around Physics website. The worksheet is designed to be used in a flipped learning setting. Students can be directed to the Flipped Around Physics website to watch quality video material on the topic.
Waves are either transverse or longitudinalTransverse WavesA transverse wave vibrates perpendicular (90 degrees) to the direction in which the wave transfers energy. Imagine a sea wave is moving towards the shore, you will see the wave vibrating up and down as shown below Tranverse waves
A series of GCSE questions and solutions on the properties of waves, including the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves, labelling a wave and calculating wavelengths. This worksheet is supported by GCSE Wave Properties Notes. This resource is part of a series of worksheets in booklet or bundle form:
You need to know the following wave properties: Amplitude – the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its undisturbed position. Wavelength – the distance from a point on one wave to the equivalent point on the next wave (e.g. crest-to-crest or trough-to-trough). Frequency – the number of waves passing a point per second.
GraspIT– Questions – AQA GCSE Physics – Waves 4. The diagram shows a wave front being refracted as it enters a block of glass from the air(HT). Explain in detail why the ray bends as it enters the glass. (3) As the wave travels through the air, the top ofthe incident ray reaches the glass before the bottom of the incident ray (1)
Wave vibrates along the direction in which the wave transfers energy: Line diagram contains: Peaks/Crests and Troughs: Compressions and Rarefactions: Travel through: Solids and vacuum (but not fluids) Solids, liquids, gases: Medium needed: No (electromagnetic waves can travel in space) Some other transverse waves would need a medium to travel ...

This is a set of 15 worksheets (with answers) for the WAVES section of the new (1-9) AQA Physics GCSE specification. It is suitable for the separate science or trilo. International; ... 1 Transverse and longitudinal waves 2 Required practical - waves 3 Required practical - reflection and refraction
Examples of transverse waves are: Ripples on the surface of water. Vibrations in a guitar string. S-waves (a type of seismic wave) Electromagnetic waves (such as radio, light, X-rays etc) Representing Transverse Waves. Transverse waves are drawn as a single continuous line, usually with a central line showing the undisturbed position
This section explains transverse and longitudinal waves covering, transverse waves, longitudinal waves, wave movements, the properties of waves, wave speed, and the wave speed equation. Transverse Waves Transverse waves are waves in which the oscillations (vibrations) occur perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. In other words, the particles of the medium move up and down (or side to ...
