Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which EM wave has the highest frequency?

  1. Visible light
  2. Gamma rays
  3. Radio waves
  4. Microwaves
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Gamma rays
Gamma rays have the highest frequency and shortest wavelength. Higher frequency = more energy. This makes them the most penetrating and potentially the most dangerous.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the wavelength of a wave?

  1. The time taken for one complete wave to pass a fixed point
  2. The height of a crest above the rest position
  3. The distance between two neighbouring points in phase, such as crest to crest
  4. The distance the wave travels through the medium in one second
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — The distance between two neighbouring points in phase, such as crest to crest
Award 1 mark. Wavelength is measured in metres. The time for one wave is the period, the height is the amplitude, and distance per second is the speed.

WJEC GCSE Physics: Waves FAQ

Is Kramizo free for WJEC 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 WJEC 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 WJEC GCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published WJEC 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 WJEC 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 WJEC.
How is Waves typically tested on WJEC GCSE Physics papers?
Waves appears across multiple question types on real WJEC 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.
