Waves gives you four ways to show classic experiments involving waves phenomena.

You’ll use it to:

• Show how ripple tanks and light boxes enable us top see the same phenomena in different ways
• Explain about frequency, wavelength and speed of waves.
• Show how we represent the effects of waves in ray diagrams
• Explore reflection off straight and curved surfaces
• Explore refraction
• Describe how lenses work
• Explain how fibre optics work
• Explore diffraction
• Look at interference patterns
