Physics P6: Waves Revision and Retrieval Quiz

Help KS4 students consolidate their understanding of Waves with this engaging AQA Combined Science Physics quiz. Designed to strengthen recall, application, and exam technique, this structured retrieval resource supports mastery of one of the most essential and visual topics in the Physics curriculum. Perfect for end-of-topic review lessons, retrieval starters, independent study, or cover lessons, it’s a flexible, ready-to-use resource that encourages active learning and confidence with AQA-style questions.

What’s Included:
Section A – Recall (1 mark each): Key knowledge questions covering transverse and longitudinal waves, amplitude, wavelength, frequency, wave speed, reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
Section B – Application and Calculations (2 marks each): Worked examples and practice problems testing key equations, including:
Wave speed = frequency × wavelength
Frequency = 1 ÷ period
Includes applied questions on sound, light, and practical wave investigations.
Section C – Multiple Choice (1 mark each): Exam-style retrieval questions to test understanding and consolidate key facts about wave behaviour and properties.
Full Answer Sheet with Worked Solutions: All answers and explanations are clearly presented to support feedback, independent marking, or peer assessment.
