Uses of Waves
A series of summaries on uses of waves for the UK GCSE level. Covers topics such as sound waves and electromagnetic spectrum.
Seismic waves
Tutorial about earthquake waves cover ing p and s waves, seismometers and shadow zones.
Waves
BBC revision guide to waves for UK GCSE level. A useful introduction to all the basics and to different types of waves.
Interference of Sinusoidal Waveforms
A little program to show the product of interference of 2 waves. The simulation allows the user to vary the wave amplitude and frequency. This is a good very simple to use tool!
Carrier Wave
Radio transmission involves putting audio frequency information on a much higher frequency electromagnetic wave called a carrier wave.
Propagation of an electromagnetic wave
An animation to illustrate the relations between the electric field, magnetic field and wave vector when an electromagnetic wave propagates through space.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
A range of resources on the electromagnetic spectrum and the different types of electromagnectic wave, from radio waves to gamma rays.
Ocean wave energy
This site describes some of the technologies available for capturing energy from ocean waves.
Superposition
A mini applet to show superposition of various wave forms. With problems included and the chance to write your own this is a very good little applet that shows the superposition of transverse waves ...
