    whoever is doing a resit for unit 2 . trust me it will be quite easier and similar to the Jan 2012 paper. resitters will find it quite easy, however, first sitters should revise properly since it will be a bit hard.
    Truuee.

    Hey guys just want to say good luck with this paper! I know some of you might be stressing about it so I thought I'd reassure you a bit; even though resits are not ideal, you shouldn't beat yourself up about this paper and panic or anything, I messed up this paper last June and got a mid-E. But then I worked hard to re-sit it in January on top of my A2 levels and got 94 (2 UMS off an A). Just work hard and it pays off. But if it doesn't pay off, you always have time to make up for it. It's not the end of the world I promise! Good luck all

    Re: AS (Edexcel) Physics Unit 2 6PH02 May 2012
    Could somebody please explain to me how to do this question
    Two coherent sources emit waves of wavelength λ in phase. At a point where the two
    waves meet they have a phase difference of 90° ( 2 radians). Which of the following
    could be the path difference at this point?

    THanks to anybody
