4: Properties of Waves

For each of the Google Slides Presentations embedded in this page, you can use the following colour scheme to tell whether each slide is from the Core or Extended part of the Cambridge IGCSE Co-ordinated Sciences syllabus.

Yellow Background = Core Content
Green Background = Extended Content
Pink Background = Not strictly on the syllabus 

In addition, slides containing Extended Content have the word EXTENDED in bold in the top corner. (Some slides have picture backgrounds so the colour coding may be missing.)

Sometimes information is just interesting or useful for illustrating where you see concepts in practice in real life, hence the pink background parts.
