(b)     Hz;                                                                                                                   1

  (c)    (i)      An explanation to include:

1. ripples are transverse waves;
2. (movement) displacement only in the vertical plane;                 2

  (ii)   energy;                                                                                                    1

[6]

 

  2.     (a)     4 (cm);
[accept 0.04 m]                                                                                                1

  (b)   3                                                                                                                       1

  (c)   ripples at 90 degrees / vertical displacement (up / down);
to wave travel / not forward and back;                                                             2

  (d)   Any two valid types of transverse waves, for example:

          1.    light waves;
2.    radio waves;
3.    ‘S’ waves;
4.    micro waves;
5.    γ rays;
6.    TV waves;
7.    ultraviolet waves;
8.    infra red waves;
9.    vibrating string / rope;
10.  slinky in right direction;                                                                   2

          [em wave – 1 mark
no further mark for named em wave,
for example
em waves
infra red
will score 1 mark only]

[Reject water ripples on water / tidal]

  (e)   correct position shown including line;                                                              1
[Allow reasonable tolerance]

[7]

 

  3.     (a)     change of direction / speed of light in a new medium / OWTTE;
(ignore bending)                                                                                               1

  (b)   greater refraction shown at P;
emergent ray shows greater refraction;
(these marks are independent)                                                                          2

[3]

 


4.       (a)     A calculation to include:

          1. v    =        f  ´ l;
2.       =        200 000 Hz ´ 1500 m;
3.       =        300 000 000 m/s;
[Accept 200 Hz ´ 1500 m = 300 000 m/s for 2 marks]
[Allow 300 000 for 1 mark (i.e. no unit)]                                                3
