AQA Physics Unit 1 Exam Wednesday 25th May 2016

How did it go guys? Was definitely a lot easier than the Biology exam. What do you think the grade boundaries are?
Can someone post the unofficial mark scheme on here, please

It was okay, I feel like I've made silly little mistakes. Hopefully not though. The only stress left on my shoulders is what the results are now.

It went well
I think the grade boundaries are:
A* - 47
A - 37
B - 30
C - 22
From what I can remember from the first question was...frequency, echo and that's about it

for disadvantages I wrote radioactive waste and non-renewable materials are used so may run out.

for the national grid question I wrote, cost of electricity is high compared to the amount of electricity produced, idk if that's a mark.

I put it would be expensive to build pylons and connect wires to an area in the mountains.

Microwaves found in space:
Cosmic microwave background radiation
For the inefficacy question, I wrote less useful energy (heat) used to heat water as it is lost through infrared radiation.
It was an absolutely beautiful exam...

Although now I really want a laptop coffee mug heater!
would you get a mark if you put for maximum diffraction the size of the gap has to be about the same size or almost the same size?
