AS Physics Edexcel A Level. Double or triple lesson. Introducing the idea of diffraction gratings and how to find the slit width for a grating. Derivation of the nλ = d sin(θ) formula and how to find θ geometrically through experimentation. Practice questions and answers. Instructions for practical (and questions to get students planning the practical for themselves) to find the wavelength of a laser using diffraction gratings(Core practical 8). Full set of example data and analysis. Exam practice questions and answers.
GCSE Edexcel Physics. Entire topic revision slides, specification points, exam questions, answers, practicals and model answers for 6 mark questions. Combined Physics and Separate Physics. The separate topic is clearly marked.
