Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the electromagnetic spectrum in order?

  1. Radio, microwave, infrared, visible, UV, X-ray, gamma
  2. Gamma, X-ray, UV, visible, IR, microwave, radio
  3. Sound, light, radio, X-ray
  4. Visible, UV, radio, gamma
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: ARadio, microwave, infrared, visible, UV, X-ray, gamma
From longest wavelength to shortest (or lowest frequency to highest). All travel at 3×10⁸ m/s in a vacuum.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the wave equation?

  1. f = vλ
  2. λ = vf
  3. v = f/λ
  4. v = fλ
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: Dv = fλ
Wave speed = frequency × wavelength. v = fλ. Applies to all waves: sound, light, water, etc.

Edexcel GCSE Physics: Waves FAQ

Is Kramizo free for Edexcel 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 Waves practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different Edexcel 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 Waves questions aligned to the official Edexcel GCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Edexcel 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 Edexcel 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 Edexcel.
How is Waves typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Physics papers?
Waves appears across multiple question types on real Edexcel 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.
