- Section B (Criterion 6): charged plates with an alpha particle moving across a field, including at least one labelled field or force diagram.
- Section C (Criterion 7): closed-pipe model of the ear canal, mixing calculation with a justified explanation.
- Section D (Criterion 8): electron standing waves and the Bohr–Rutherford atom, with a non-routine or real-world context.
- Scenario: the Kunanyi Sports-Medicine and Audiology Clinic (a fictional clinic in Hobart) uses physics in rehabilitation, hearing tests and imaging.
