Revise Edexcel GCSE Physics 4.1.5 Measuring wave velocity with the question bank and revision guides.
Describe how to measure the velocity of sound in air and ripples on water surfaces. • Core Practical: Investigate the suitability of equipment to measure the speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave in a solid and a fluid Use of mathematics ● Apply formulae relating velocity, frequency and wavelength (1c, 3c). ● Show how changes, if any, in velocity, frequency and wavelength, in transmission sound waves from one medium to another, are inter-related (1c, 3c). Suggested practicals ● Investigate models to show refraction, such as toy cars travelling into ● Investigate refraction in rectangular glass blocks.
