IB Wave Problems

Get the Problems and Markschemes: <Here> (there are a bunch more in there too that I didn't assign)

From 2016 to May 2019 (11 total tests including the specimen papers) there have been solidly 18 waves problems. Of those 9 have had to do with slits, gratings, or similar lateral arrays causing interference. Interference is a strong theme so far.
