Wave Power - GCSE Physics Definition

Wave power is a way of generating electricity using the energy from ocean waves. As waves move across the sea, they carry a lot of energy because of their up and down motion. Special devices, like floating buoys or underwater turbines, capture this movement and converts kinetic energy into electrical energy. This is a renewable form of energy, which means it doesn’t run out and doesn’t pollute the environment. Wave power can be an important part of our future energy solutions, helping to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels like coal and oil.
