C.2.2—Wave quantities Topic Practice

IB Physics syllabusPhysics SL/HLFirst assessment 2025
Read amplitude, wavelength, frequency and period from wave graphs, and relate particle motion to wave direction and boundary changes.
How this is tested
- read amplitude, wavelength or period from a displacement graph, then convert period into frequency
- use a wave diagram to decide particle velocity direction or whether two points are in phase
- state that frequency stays constant at a boundary while wavelength or amplitude may change
