AQA Physics A Level Papers:
The AQA Physics A-Level assessment consists of three distinct papers:
- Paper 1: A 2-hour written exam covering 34% of the A-Level. Total: 85 marks (60 marks on short/long questions, 25 marks multiple choice).
- Paper 2: A 2-hour written exam covering 34% of the A-Level. Total: 85 marks (60 marks on short/long questions, 25 marks multiple choice).
- Paper 3: A 2-hour written exam covering the final 32% of the syllabus.
How many marks is the AQA Physics Paper 3?
The total for Paper 3 is 80 marks. It is divided into two clear sections:
- Section A (45 marks): Focuses on practical skills and data analysis.
- Section B (35 marks): Focuses on your chosen optional topic (e.g., Astrophysics or Medical Physics).

Very useful information thanks a lot
My thinking is you can project amplitude as it is changing over distance of the wave and can be met to neutral if speed of change is calculated by change of amplitude and distance therefore can be met exact distance of half with same light wave projected amplitude at next change equaling same amplitude
