1. Wave Properties and Superposition | 波的性质与叠加
A wave transfers energy without transferring matter. Transverse waves have oscillations perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, while longitudinal waves have oscillations parallel to it. The principle of superposition states that when two or more waves meet at a point, the resultant displacement is the vector sum of the individual displacements.
波传递能量但不传递物质。横波的振动方向与能量传播方向垂直，纵波则平行。叠加原理指出，当两个或多个波相遇时，合位移等于各个波位移的矢量和。
Constructive interference occurs when waves meet in phase, producing a larger amplitude. Destructive interference occurs when they meet completely out of phase, potentially cancelling each other if amplitudes are equal. This principle is fundamental to understanding interference patterns, stationary waves, and diffraction effects examined in PH02.
当波同相相遇时发生相长干涉，振幅增大；完全反相相遇时发生相消干涉，若振幅相等则相互抵消。这一原理是理解PH02样卷中干涉图样、驻波和衍射现象的基础。
2. Interference and Conditions for Coherence | 干涉与相干条件
To observe a stable interference pattern, the two sources must be coherent – they must have the same frequency and a constant phase difference. In the specimen paper, questions often require you to identify whether a setup will produce observable fringes and to explain why coherence is necessary.
要观察到稳定的干涉图样，两个波源必须相干——即频率相同，相位差恒定。样卷中常要求判断某一装置能否产生可见条纹，并解释为何需要相干性。
Path difference determines whether a point on a screen receives constructive or destructive interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path difference equals a whole number of wavelengths (nλ), while destructive interference occurs when it is an odd half-wavelength ( (2n+1)λ/2 ). These relationships appear frequently in both multiple-choice and structured questions.
波程差决定了屏幕上某点是相长还是相消干涉。当波程差等于波长的整数倍（nλ）时发生相长干涉，等于奇数半波长（ (2n+1)λ/2 ）时发生相消干涉。这两条关系在选择题和简答题中频繁出现。
3. Young’s Double-Slit Experiment | 杨氏双缝实验
Young’s double-slit experiment provides strong evidence for the wave nature of light. The fringe spacing Δy is given by Δy = λD / d, where λ is the wavelength, D is the distance from the slits to the screen, and d is the slit separation. This equation is central to many PH02 calculations.
杨氏双缝实验为光的波动性提供了有力证据。条纹间距公式为 Δy = λD / d，其中 λ 是波长，D 是双缝到屏幕的距离，d 是缝间距。这一方程是PH02许多计算题的核心。
Increasing the slit separation d decreases the fringe spacing, making fringes harder to distinguish. Using a longer wavelength λ or a larger screen distance D increases the fringe spacing. You may be asked to predict the effect of changing these parameters, or to determine an unknown wavelength from measured data.
增大缝间距 d 会减小条纹间距，使条纹难以分辨；使用更长的波长 λ 或更大的屏幕距离 D 则会增大条纹间距。题目可能要求预测参数变化的影响，或从测量数据计算未知波长。
4. Standing Waves and Harmonics | 驻波与谐波
A standing wave is formed when two progressive waves of the same frequency and amplitude travel in opposite directions and superpose. Nodes are points of zero displacement, while antinodes are points of maximum displacement. The distance between adjacent nodes (or antinodes) is half a wavelength, λ/2.
当两列频率和振幅相同、传播方向相反的波叠加时，就形成驻波。位移始终为零的点称为波节，振幅最大的点称为波腹。相邻波节（或波腹）之间的距离为半个波长，即 λ/2。
In a string fixed at both ends, the fundamental frequency f1 = v / (2L), where L is the string length and v is the wave speed. The harmonics are integer multiples of f1. PH02 questions may involve changing tension, length, or mass per unit length to alter the frequency, requiring application of v = √(T/μ).
在两端固定的弦上，基频 f1 = v/(2L)，其中 L 为弦长，v 为波速。泛频是基频的整数倍。PH02 题目可能通过改变张力、长度或线密度来改变频率，要求运用 v = √(T/μ) 进行计算。
5. Diffraction Grating | 衍射光栅
A diffraction grating consists of many equally spaced slits and produces sharp, well-defined maxima. The grating equation is d sinθ = nλ, where d = 1/N is the grating spacing (with N the number of lines per metre), θ is the angle to the nth order maximum, and λ is the wavelength.
衍射光栅由大量等间距的狭缝组成，产生锐利而清晰的主极大。光栅方程为 d sinθ = nλ，其中 d=1/N 是光栅常数（N 为每米刻线数），θ 是第 n 级明纹的衍射角，λ 是波长。
Because the maxima are much narrower than in double-slit interference, diffraction gratings are used in spectroscopy to measure wavelengths of light with high precision. You should be able to calculate the maximum possible order for a given grating and wavelength, and understand that overlapping orders can occur when multiple wavelengths are present.
由于明纹比双缝干涉窄得多，衍射光栅常用于光谱学中高精度测量光波长。你需要会计算给定光栅和波长下的最高级数，并理解当存在多种波长时可能出现级次重叠。
6. Polarisation and Malus’s Law | 偏振与马吕斯定律
Polarisation is a phenomenon unique to transverse waves, in which oscillations are restricted to a single plane. An unpolarised wave can be polarised by using a polarising filter. According to Malus’s law, the transmitted intensity I through a second polariser (analyser) is given by I = I0 cos²θ, where I0 is the intensity incident on the analyser and θ is the angle between the transmission axes of the two filters.
偏振是横波独有的现象，振动被限制在单一平面内。非偏振光可通过偏振片变为偏振光。根据马吕斯定律，通过第二个偏振片（检偏器）后的透射光强 I=I0 cos²θ，其中 I0 为入射光强，θ 为两偏振片透振轴的夹角。
Applications of polarisation include reducing glare in sunglasses, stress analysis in materials, and LCD screens. In the PH02 specimen, you might be asked to interpret intensity changes as a polariser is rotated, or to explain why polarisation provides evidence that light is a transverse wave.
偏振的应用包括太阳镜防眩光、材料应力分析以及液晶显示屏。PH02 样卷中可能要求解释旋转偏振片时光强如何变化，或为什么偏振证明了光是横波。
7. Current, Charge and Potential Difference | 电流、电荷与电势差
Electric current I is the rate of flow of charge, defined as I = ΔQ/Δt. The potential difference V between two points is the energy transferred per unit charge, V = W/Q. These definitions underpin all circuit analysis and frequently appear in multiple-choice questions.
电流 I 是电荷的流动速率，定义为 I=ΔQ/Δt。两点间的电势差 V 是单位电荷转移的能量，V=W/Q。这些定义是所有电路分析的基础，常在选择题中考查。
The convention of current direction is from positive to negative, opposite to the actual electron flow. In metallic conductors, charge is carried by delocalised electrons. Understanding the relationship between current, time, and charge is essential for solving problems involving electrolysis or capacitor discharge.
电流方向的规定是从正极到负极，与实际电子流动方向相反。在金属导体内，电荷由自由电子携带。理解电流、时间和电荷之间的关系，对解决电解或电容放电等问题至关重要。
8. Resistance, Resistivity and Temperature | 电阻、电阻率与温度
Resistance R is defined by R = V/I. For an ohmic conductor at constant temperature, the V-I graph is a straight line through the origin. Resistivity ρ is a material property given by ρ = RA/L, where A is the cross-sectional area and L is the length. A longer or thinner wire has higher resistance.
电阻 R 的定义为 R=V/I。对于恒温下的欧姆导体，V-I 图是一条过原点的直线。电阻率 ρ 是材料属性，公式为 ρ=RA/L，其中 A 为横截面积，L 为长度。导线越长、越细，电阻越大。
Resistivity varies with temperature. For metals, resistivity increases with temperature due to increased lattice vibrations; for semiconductors, it decreases as more charge carriers become available. The specimen may ask you to explain these trends or to use them to identify a material from its characteristic curve.
电阻率随温度变化。金属因晶格振动增强，电阻率随温度升高而增大；半导体则因载流子增多，电阻率随温度升高而降低。样卷可能要求解释这些趋势，或根据特性曲线识别材料。
9. EMF and Internal Resistance | 电动势与内阻
The electromotive force (EMF) ε of a source is the energy supplied per unit charge. The terminal potential difference V is less than the EMF when the source delivers a current, due to the internal resistance r. The relationship is V = ε − Ir, often tested by requiring you to interpret a V-I graph to find ε and r.
电源的电动势 ε 是单位电荷获得的能量。当电源供电时，由于内阻 r 的存在，端电压 V 低于电动势。关系式为 V=ε−Ir，样卷常要求通过分析 V-I 图来求出 ε 和 r。
In a closed circuit, the current is given by I = ε / (R + r), where R is the external load resistance. Power dissipated in the load is a maximum when R = r, a principle known as maximum power transfer. You may be asked to calculate r from experimental data or to explain why a high-current draw causes terminal voltage to drop.
在闭合电路中，电流为 I=ε/(R+r)，其中 R 为外接负载电阻。当 R=r 时，负载的功率达到最大，这就是最大功率传输原理。题目可能要求根据实验数据计算内阻，或解释为何大电流会导致端电压下降。
10. Energy and Power in DC Circuits | 直流电路中的能量与功率
The power P dissipated in a circuit component is given by P = IV, P = I²R, or P = V²/R, depending on the known quantities. The total energy transferred is W = Pt. You must be able to select the correct form and apply it to series and parallel circuits.
电路元件消耗的功率 P 可根据已知量选用 P=IV、P=I²R 或 P=V²/R 计算。转移的总能量 W=Pt。你必须能够选择合适的公式，并将其应用于串联和并联电路中。
Kirchhoff’s laws are essential for analysing more complex networks. The first law (junction rule) states that total current entering a junction equals total current leaving it. The second law (loop rule) states that the sum of the EMFs around any closed loop equals the sum of the p.d.s. These rules underpin many structured questions in the specimen paper.
基尔霍夫定律是分析复杂电路的关键。第一定律（节点定律）指出流入节点的总电流等于流出节点的总电流；第二定律（回路定律）指出沿任一闭合回路的电动势之和等于电势差的代数和。这些规则是样卷中许多简答题的基础。
