About OCR A-Level Physics
OCR has two qualifications: Physics A and Physics B. Physics A is a flexible content-led approach, where the specification is divided into topics and each topic covers different important concepts of physics. Physics B is a context-led approach, in which the students study physics in a range of different contexts that convey the excitement of contemporary physics.
OCR A Level Physics B
The OCR A level physics B is a context-led approach that helps the students to explore a wide range of physical concepts that they can apply to everyday as well as technical settings. It also helps them to develop their practical and investigative skills.
Modules of OCR A Level Physics B
The content of OCR A Level Physics B is divided into the following six modules:
- Module 1: Development of practical skills in physics
- Module 2: Fundamental data analysis
- Module 3: Physics in action
- Module 4: Understanding processes
- Module 5: Rise and fall of the clockwork universe
- Module 6: Field and particle
Components of OCR A Level Physics B
The new OCR A level physics B contains the following four components:
- Fundamentals of physics
- Scientific literacy in physics
- Practical skills in physics
- Practical endorsement in physics (It is a non-exam assessment)
To be awarded in OCR A level physics B, students are required to complete all the four components.
In this article, you will find OCR A level physics B past papers and mark schemes. These documents are freely available on the OCR website.









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
