Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

Red-shift is the observation that light from distant galaxies is shifted towards the:

  1. Red (longer wavelength) end of the spectrum
  2. Blue (shorter wavelength) end
  3. Middle of the spectrum
  4. Ultraviolet
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: ARed (longer wavelength) end of the spectrum
Light from distant galaxies is shifted to longer (redder) wavelengths because they are moving away from us.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

Red-shift provides evidence that distant galaxies are:

  1. Moving away from us
  2. Moving towards us
  3. Standing still
  4. Getting smaller
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AMoving away from us
The red-shift shows galaxies are moving away, evidence that the universe is expanding.

AQA GCSE Physics: Red-shift and the Big Bang theory FAQ

How many AQA GCSE Physics questions on Red-shift and the Big Bang theory are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 15 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Red-shift and the Big Bang theory for AQA GCSE Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real AQA paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Red-shift and the Big Bang theory practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Red-shift and the Big Bang theory questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Red-shift and the Big Bang theory typically tested on AQA GCSE Physics papers?
Red-shift and the Big Bang theory appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
