This is a highly engaging, detailed and fully-resourced revision lesson which covers topics 4 & 5 of the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Physics specification. Due to the close links between the topics of waves and light and the electromagnetic spectrum, it was decided to design a single resource that challenged the students on their knowledge and understanding of the Physics detailed in these two topics.
The PowerPoint and acccompanying resource have been written to include a wide range of activities which include exam-style questions (with clearly explained answers), differentiated tasks and quick quiz competitions. These activities challenge the following specification points:
- Define and use the terms frequency, wavelength, amplitude and period
- Recall and use both of the equations to calculate wave speed
- Describe how to measure the velocity of sound in air and ripples on water surfaces
- Describe the effects of reflection and refraction
- Explain how waves will be refracted at a boundary in terms of a change in direction and speed
- Recall that sound waves can be ultrasound and infrasound
- Explain uses of ultrasound
- Explain, with the aid of diagrams, refraction, the critical angle and total internal reflection
- Explain the difference between specular and diffuse reflection
- Recall that the EM waves are transverse and travel at the speed of light in a vacuum
- Describe the EM spectrum as continuous from radio waves to gamma rays
- Describe the uses and harmful effects of the EM waves
To fall in line with the heavy mathematical content of the specification, there is a large emphasis on a range of mathematical skills in this lesson which includes rearranging formula, converting between units and using standard form.
Due to the detail of this lesson, it is estimated that it will take in excess of 2 hours of GCSE-allocated teaching time to cover the content and this allows this to be used at the end of the topic or in the lead up to mock or terminal examinations.

Edexcel GCSE Physics PAPER 1 REVISION LESSONS
All of the lessons in this bundle are fully-resourced and have been designed to challenge the students on their knowledge of the topics which can be assessed in PAPER 1 of the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Physics specification. All 7 topics that can be assessed in paper 1 are covered by these lessons: Topic 1: Key concepts in Physics Topic 2: Motion and forces Topic 3: Conservation of energy Topic 4: Waves Topic 5: Light and the EM spectrum Topic 6: Radioactivity Topic 7: Astronomy The PowerPoints and accompanying resources contain a wide range of activities which include exam-style questions with clear explanations of the answer, differentiated tasks and quiz competitions. There is also a big emphasis on the mathematical element of the specification and students are guided through the use of a range of skills which include the conversion of units and the rearrange of formulae to change the subject.

Thank you, looking forward to using this with my Y11s.
The pupils loved this, great real world examples, and sadly they related to slide 5!! Clear concise and fun, as always with GJHeducation resources. Thanks
