• Oscillation of the particles of the medium in the
  form of longitudinal and transverse waves.
• Characteristics and examples, including sound and
  electromagnetic waves.
• Polarisation as evidence for the nature of
  transverse waves applications e.g. Polaroid
  sunglasses, aerial alignment for transmitter and
  receiver.
• Amplitude, frequency, wavelength, speed, phase,
  path difference.
• c f ?
• Refraction, reflection and diffraction
• Superposition of waves.
• The formation of stationary waves by two waves of
  the same frequency travelling in opposite
  directions no mathematical treatment required.
• Simple graphical representation of stationary
  waves.
• Nodes and antinodes on strings.
