Teaching Advanced Physics: Vibrations and Waves
From the Institute of Physics, these resources are split into topics and each topic is subdivided into a number of episodes. An episode represents a coherent section of teaching – perhaps one or two lessons. The topics covered are:
* Simple harmonic motion
* Progressive waves
* Electromagnetic waves
* Reflection and refraction
* Superposition

Episode 316: Preparation for Reflection and Refraction Topic
These activities, from the Institute of Physics, give an overview of reflection and refraction. The emphasis is on an interpretation in terms of waves. Applications, particularly those involving total internal reflection, are considered.
The series of learning episodes include:
Episode 317:...
Episode 317: Reflection and Refraction of Waves
This learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, contains activities in which students look at reflection, refraction and Snell's law.
Through discussion, demonstration and practical experiments, students look at:
* reflection and refraction with a ripple tank
* the 'marching soldiers'...
Episode 318: Total Internal Reflection
Produced by the Institute of Physics, this learning episode helps students to observe total internal reflection (TIR) as a consequence of refraction. Students use a semi-circular block to observe TIR and see how a fibre optic can be used to transmit information.
The activities include:
* ray tracing...
Episode 319: Preparation for Superposition of Waves Topic
This series of learning episodes, from the Institute of Physics, looks at how waves add together by superposition. It follows a 'conceptual approach' by looking at superposition itself, followed by interference fringes and then diffraction.
The episodes in this topic are:
Episode 320:...
