AQA GCSE Specification
  • OPTICS
  • 13.4 What do mirrors and lenses do to light?
  • Using skills, knowledge and understanding of how
    science works
  • to construct ray diagrams to show the
    formation of images by plane, convex and concave
    mirrors
  • to construct ray diagrams to show the
    formation of images by diverging lenses and
    converging lenses
  • to explain the use of a converging lens as a
    magnifying glass and in a camera
  • to calculate the magnification produced by a
    lens or mirror using the formula
  • magnification image height / object height
  • Skills, knowledge and understanding of how
    science works set in the context of
  • The normal is a construction-line
    perpendicular to the reflecting/refracting
    surface at the point of incidence.
  • The angle of incidence is equal to the angle
    of reflection.
  • The nature of an image is defined by its size
    relative to the object, whether it is upright or
    inverted relative to the object and whether it is
    real or virtual.
  • The nature of the image produced by a plane
    mirror.
  • The nature of the image produced by a convex
    mirror.
  • The nature of the image produced by a concave
    mirror for an object placed at different
    distances from the lens.
  • Refraction at an interface.
  • Refraction by a prism.
  • SOUND
  • 13.5 What is sound?
  • Using skills, knowledge and understanding of how
    science works
  • to compare the amplitudes and frequencies of
    sounds from diagrams of oscilloscope traces.
  • Skills, knowledge and understanding of how
    science works set in the context of
  • Sound is caused by mechanical vibrations and
    travels as a wave.
  • Sounds in the range 20-20 000 Hz can be
    detected by the human ear.
  • Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
  • The pitch of a note increases as the frequency
    increases.
  • The loudness of a note increases as the
    amplitude of the wave increases.
  • The quality of a note depends upon the
    waveform.
  • Sound waves can be reflected and refracted.
  • ULTRASOUND
  • 13.6 What is ultrasound and how can it be used?
  • Using skills, knowledge and understanding of how
    science works
