Sound waves and vibrations in solids
Sound waves and vibrations in solids
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that transfers energy by making the particles of a material vibrate. The particles vibrate parallel to the direction in which the wave transfers energy.
Step-by-step lessons on AQA GCSE Physics 6.1.4 Sound waves (HT only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build a strong grip on equations, units and Key Stage 3 fundamentals before tackling the more demanding topics like electromagnetism, the particle model of matter and space physics.
