    This document lists the equations students need to know for the astrophysics topics on the Edexcel IGCSE physics exam. It separates the equations required for the double award specification versus physics only, noting that some equations are only for Paper 2. All equations will be provided in the exam for this topic, as it does not require memorizing any equations. The document then lists two sample equations that will be provided: one relating the change in wavelength of light from a galaxy to its velocity, and another relating orbital radius, time period, and orbital speed.

    What equations do I need to know for the Edexcel IGCSE physics exam for the Astrophysics

    topics?

    In the list below the equations are grouped into the ones that need learning for IGCSE Edexcel double
    award (4SD0) and Physics only specification (8463). The bold type equations are Paper 2 only. This
    topic does not require the memorization of any equations and all the equations will be given in the
    exam. These equations are at the end of the list. The equation list required for OCR, CIE, AQA trilogy
    are quite different for this topic.
