Electromagnetic waves from an unknown source in space were found to be significantly diffracted when passing through gaps of the order of 10^–5 m.
Which type of wave are they most likely to be?

The graph shows how the height of the water surface at a point in a harbour varies with time t as waves pass the point.
What are p and q ?

The three waves shown in each diagram have the same amplitude and frequency but differ in phase.

A ray of light is incident on the surface of a glass block, as shown in the diagram.
The refractive index of the glass is 1.5.
The light ray changes direction when entering the glass.
What is the angle x through which the ray moves?

A ray of light travels from X to Y along an optical fibre. The angle of incidence at Y is greater than the critical angle.
In which direction does the ray of light travel after reaching point Y?

A ray of light in glass is incident on the surface at an angle c. The angle c is the critical angle.
