"Struggling with Wave Speed calculations? This Edexcel GCSE Physics workbook takes students from zero confidence to exam-ready with 12 scaffolded questions using the EVERY method framework.

The EVERY method breaks each calculation into clear steps: Equation, Values, Verify units, Execute the maths, Review your answer, Yield the final answer with units. Students see a fully worked example first, then gradually do more of each step themselves until they’re solving problems independently.

What’s inside:

  • 12 progressive questions on Wave Speed (v = f × λ)
  • Fully worked model answer showing the EVERY method in action
  • Scaffolded questions that gradually remove support
  • Self-assessment tracker for students to rate their confidence
  • Full mark scheme with examiner tips

Edexcel specification reference: Topic 13 (Waves)

Wave speed links to sound, light, electromagnetic spectrum, and seismic waves. Students calculate wave speed from frequency and wavelength data and apply it to real-world contexts.

Common student mistakes this workbook addresses: confusing frequency with wavelength, not converting units (MHz to Hz, nm to m), and mixing up wave speed with the speed of the wave source.

Suitable for Edexcel GCSE Combined Science and Physics (separate award). Works for both foundation and higher tier students."
