This resource is a complete lesson that covers Stationary Waves for the OCR A Level Physics A course. However, it is useful for other exam boards too.
This lesson teaches the following content:
-stationary (standing) waves using microwaves, stretched strings and air columns
-graphical representations of a stationary wave
-similarities and the differences between stationary and progressive waves
-nodes and antinodes
-stationary wave patterns for a stretched string and air columns in closed and open tubes
-techniques and procedures used to determine the speed of sound in air by formation of stationary waves in a resonance tube
-the idea that the separation between adjacent nodes (or antinodes) is equal to λ/2, where λ is the wavelength of the progressive wave
-fundamental mode of vibration (1st harmonic); harmonics.
This lesson includes:
-A full presentation including 3 example questions with worked solutions.
-A worksheet with model answers, perfect to set as homework.
-Clear visual aids and diagrams to simplify complex concepts.
-Editable PowerPoint and Word document for easy customisation.
