Energy and Waves

Waves transfer energy without transporting matter overall. Light and sound behave differently because light can travel through vacuum while sound requires a medium.

What to remember

  • Waves transfer energy.
  • Sound requires a medium.
  • Light can travel through vacuum.
  • Frequency relates to wave cycles per second.
  • Amplitude is linked with wave size/intensity.

Key words

wave — disturbance transferring energy
frequency — cycles per second
amplitude — maximum displacement
medium — material through which a mechanical wave travels
radiation — energy transfer by electromagnetic waves
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.

What this Year 8 / Grade 8 science drill practises
