What's inside (27 pages)

• Units, including the refractive index trick: it has no unit!
• Longitudinal and transverse waves
• Amplitude, wavelength, period and frequency
• Wave speed: v = f × λ and f = 1 ÷ T
• The Doppler effect
• Refraction, refractive index, critical angle and optical fibres
• The electromagnetic spectrum: order, uses and dangers
• Two sound practicals (Physics only): the speed of sound in air, and measuring frequency with an oscilloscope
• Four exam-practice pages of past-paper-style questions to do on your own
• An "I Can Do It" checklist covering every spec point
• Full answers and mark schemes so you can check your own work
• 
  

How it works

Each topic gives you notes to complete, worked examples, and exam-style questions, with space to write on every page. The exam-practice pages have no steps to follow, just like the real exam.
