There was a small error in the advance notice article for component H557/02 Scientific literacy in physics, which was published on the OCR website and Teach Cambridge on 13 March.

On page 4, line 48, we referred to ‘5000 m’ rather than ‘5000 nm’.

We have now corrected this, so the sentence now reads:

One of these instruments is a near infrared camera (NIRCam) which can image in two wavelength ranges; from 600 nm to 2300 nm (short wavelength) and 2400 nm to 5000 nm (long wavelength).

You can view and download the corrected advance notice article from the A Level Physics B qualification page on our website and on Teach Cambridge.

We've also corrected the hard copy version of the article, which is to be used with the question paper on the day of the examination, Thursday 6 June 2024 – Morning.

Please make sure you share the latest version of the advance notice article with your students.

We're very sorry for this error and the additional work it causes you.
