A set of 30 exam-style questions covering the waves content of A-level Physics, with full mark schemes, worked solutions and teacher notes. Written to match the AQA A-level Physics specification (7408), and suitable for other exam boards’ waves content too.

What’s included

• 30 multi-part exam-style questions, increasing in difficulty
• Full mark schemes for every question
• Fully worked solutions with clear, structured steps
• Teacher notes highlighting key ideas and common misconceptions

Content coverage

• Progressive waves: amplitude, frequency, wavelength, speed and phase difference
• Longitudinal and transverse waves, and polarisation
• Superposition, stationary waves and harmonics on a string
• Required practical: stationary waves on a string
• Interference, path difference, coherence and Young’s double slits
• Diffraction from a single slit and the diffraction grating
• Required practical: Young’s slits and the diffraction grating
• Refraction, Snell’s law, total internal reflection and optical fibres
• Mixed multi-step exam-style problems

Who is it for?

• A-level Physics students in Year 12, and Year 13 students revising
• Teachers looking for ready-to-use exam practice
• Homework, independent study, revision or assessment

Why use it?

• Written by an experienced Head of Physics to match the style and difficulty of real exam questions
• Both required practicals covered in exam-style questions
• Builds confidence from standard questions up to more challenging ones
• Saves time on lesson planning and resource creation

Format: PDF, suitable for printing or digital use.
