Types of waves: WAEC Physics Past Questions and Answers
What the WAEC syllabus covers in Types of waves
Our summary: Transverse and longitudinal waves, and the equation that describes a travelling wave.
- Transverse and longitudinal waves (Examples to be given.)
- Mathematical representation of wave motion (Equation $y = A \sin(\omega t \pm \phi)$ to be explained. Questions on phase difference will not be set.)
