Students learn about doing work and transferring energy with radiation and particles. Learn about different ways of stopping energy transfer due to friction and conduction. Students learn about what affects the energy that waves transfer, and how they interact with surfaces they hit and with matter they travel through. Find out about ultrasound and some of its uses. Learn how the wave model can help you to explain wave behaviour.
