The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students studying longitudinal waves, transverse waves, electromagnetic waves, radio waves, microwaves, infrared and visible light and ...

Waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves with a wide range of properties and uses. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

In the case of longitudinal mode locking, all fields have the same spatial form, whereas in the case of transverse mode coupling, the fields have different ones. This similarity allows to convert a ...
