Waves are the mechanism by which energy is transferred across space and matter, and this topic sits at the heart of OCR GCSE Physics. Candidates must master the precise distinction between transverse and longitudinal waves, command the wave equation v = fλ with confidence, and interpret both displacement-distance and displacement-time graphs accurately. Examiners consistently award marks for exact language — particularly the terms 'perpendicular', 'parallel', 'compression', and 'rarefaction' — making this a topic where precision of expression is as important as conceptual understanding.
