AQA GCSE Physics: Waves – Revision & Practice Workbook (PDF)
Master Waves for AQA GCSE Physics (8463) – with confidence.
A focused, exam-ready workbook covering the complete Topic 6, in spec order. Each page teaches one part of the topic, then puts it straight into practice with exam-style questions, so students go from "I've seen it" to "I can do it."
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Transverse and longitudinal waves – amplitude, wavelength, period and frequency
• Wave speed – v = f λ and T = 1 ÷ f, with worked examples and an echo calculation
• Required practicals – waves in a ripple tank and a solid, infrared radiation, and reflection and refraction
• Reflection, sound waves, ultrasound and seismic waves
• The electromagnetic spectrum – properties, uses and hazards, plus a full exam-practice page
• Lenses, magnification, and visible light and colour
• Black body radiation and the Earth's temperature
• An "I Can Do It" checklist to tick off every spec point
• Full answers and mark schemes for every page
Triple-only and Higher-only content is clearly flagged, so Combined Science students know exactly what to skip.
WHO IT'S FOR
GCSE students revising Waves, parents supporting study at home, and teachers or tutors who want ready-made, spec-aligned practice.
