Title: Is wave theory is there in physics 2010 syllabus?
Post by: °o.O-hash94-O.o° on October 24, 2009, 08:01:10 am

hi,

My teacher is telling that the wave theory is not included in the syllabus,although in syallbus it is written
"interpret reflection,refraction and diffraction using wave theory'
can anyone confirm this and questions related to this have came in exam?

thanks!

I haven't seen many questions on it but it is a part of the syllabus definitely. Don't ignore...never know when cie wishes to have wave theory on the papers

wot is wave theory? Cos i know our teacher definitely hasn't taught us this..
We only know that waves diffract, reflect, and refract.. and that they refract differently in different refractive indexes.. do we need to know more?
