Wave Properties: Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction and Polarisation - A Level Physics

In this video I explain some more wave properties, including: reflection, refraction, diffraction and polarisation for A Level Physics.

Both transverse and longitudinal waves share similar properties that you must be familiar with, such as reflection, refraction and diffraction, to understand further topics like lenses and interference. However only transverse waves can be polarised.

Have a go with it to investigate these effects, and many others, yourself.

Thanks for watching,

Lewis

Hi, Please consider segmenting the video, with the main tops covered in each section so its easier to navigate. Thanks

I was going through your Waves A Level playlist and was loving them. Then i saw that these videos are 9 years old. Do they cover everything for the current syllabus of CAIE A Levels?

Hi, thanks for your videos. I just wanted to ask, as a student that is going to do AS/A levels next year, so I just finished my gcse mocks, which A level videos should I watch first?
