The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students who are studying reflection of waves and refraction of waves. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got you! You can ...

When light travels from air into glass it slows down because glass is more (optically) dense than air. This change in speed can cause the light to bend at the boundary between the two transparent ...

When people look into a mirror, they see an image of themselves behind the glass. That image results from light rays encountering the shiny surface and bouncing back, or reflecting, providing a ...

A finite element wave propagation model for linear periodic waves in a coastal sea region is developed. The model includes refraction, diffraction, and reflection of gravity waves on water over ...

Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...
