How to use the solutions

Mark your own work like an examiner

Each solution is written as an IB mark scheme: M1 for a method mark, A1 for an answer mark that depends on the method, R1 for reasoning and AG where the answer is given in the question. Where your method differs, check that each of your lines would earn the same marks.

The questions are in Photon Physics: Study Guide for the IB Diploma (SL & HL). Work through Basic practice, Tutorial practice, Advanced practice and Connected questions, following the order in the book.
