Waves

Waves gives you virtual ripple tank and light box experiments together with animations and diagrams to help explain what's going on. You’ll use it to cover:

• How ripple tanks and light boxes enable us to see wave phenomena in different ways

• Frequency, wavelength and speed of waves.

• How we represent light in ray diagrams

• Reflection off straight and curved surfaces

• Refraction through prisms and lenses

• How lenses work

• How fibre optics work

• Diffraction

• Interference patterns
