- Section B (Criterion 6): eddy currents and magnetic braking, including at least one labelled field or force diagram.
- Section C (Criterion 7): beats between tuning forks and resonance, mixing calculation with a justified explanation.
- Section D (Criterion 8): photon momentum, laser radiation pressure and photon flux, with a non-routine or real-world context.
- Whole paper: a theme-park ride engineer (Sections A–C) and a laser-cooling laboratory (Section D), with every number recomputed in Python.
