The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students who are studying reflection of waves and refraction of waves. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got you! You can ...

A ripple tank can be used to investigate the frequency close frequencyThe number of waves produced each second. The unit of frequency is hertz (Hz)., wavelength close wavelengthThe length of a single ...

Students use mirror equations to determine the position and type. Students use mirror equations to determine the position, type, and size of mirror images for curved mirrors mathematically. Optical ...

When people look into a mirror, they see an image of themselves behind the glass. That image results from light rays encountering the shiny surface and bouncing back, or reflecting, providing a ...

Exploiting a novel technique called phase discontinuity, researchers have induced light rays to behave in a way that defies the centuries-old laws of reflection and refraction. The discovery has led ...

In my previous Photography Snapshot, I discussed the importance of light and how it bounces to create images. We discovered that the most primitive form of photography was the camera obscura, which ...
