- Section C (Criterion 7): Young's double slit with two colours and coincident fringes, mixing calculation with a justified explanation.
- Section D (Criterion 8): Wien's law, black bodies and photon energy, with a non-routine or real-world context.
- Original paper set on a single fictional Antarctic research voyage from Hobart; every number is recomputed in Python (see exams-6-arith-check.json).
