Section c:
Inference: wavelength depends on the depth of water.
Hypothesis: the greater the depth of water, the bigger the wavelength.
Aim: To investigate the relationship between wavelength and the depth of water.
Variables:
Manipulated variable: thickness of Perspex// depth of water
Responding variable: wavelength
Constant variable: frequency of water wave
Apparatus and material: Ripple tank, mechanical stroboscope, ruler, vibrator motor, white paper,
power supply, lamp and wooden bar, Perspex plate.
Arrangement:

Procedure:
1. Fill in the ripple tank with water at depth 2cm.
*2. A piece of perspex plate at thickness 0.2 cm is placed at the middle of the ripple tank.
3. Switch on the power supply, vibrating motor and lamp.
4. Freeze the water wave by using the stroboscope.
5. Measure the distance between two consecutive bright OR dark fringes on white paper using a
ruler.
6. Repeat the experiment by using a Perspex plate at thickness 0.4cm, 0.6 cm, 0.8cm, 1.0cm and
1.0cm.
* The depth of water also can be adjusted by changing the volume of water.

2 (a) Gravitational force
(b) (i) the mass of the slotted weight in Diagram 2.1 is smaller
(ii) the net forces acting on the systems on the table in Diagram 2.1 is smaller
(iii) the acceleration of the 3 kg load move on the table in Diagram 2.1 is smaller
(c) when the net forces increases, the acceleration of the load increases
(d) (i) the net force for the systems in Diagram 2.3 is bigger
(ii) the acceleration of the load in Diagram 2.3 is bigger
(iii) In Diagram 2.3, the weight of the object is not acted perpendicular to the direction of
the motion of the object, so the net force increases.

(a) light of one frequency/ wavelength

(b) In diagram 8.19a), distance between the double slit and screen, D is smaller.
In figure 8.1 (b), distance between two successive bright fringes, x is smaller.
In diagram 8.1 (b), the number of fringes is greater.
In figure 8.1 (b) the width of fringes is smaller.
When the distance between the double slit and screen increases, the distance between
two successive fringes, x increases.

(C)
Modification explanation
build a circular roof it improves the acoustic effect of sound
reduce the number of gaps/ holes/
opening like doors and windows
reduce the effect of diffraction
use soft materials/ fabrics/cushion for the
chairs
to absorb the sound/ to avoid reflection of
sound
place the loudspeakers far away from each
other/ at the corners of the hall
to produce more constructive interference
increase the number of lamps or lights to get sufficient amount of light.

(d) - all the particle in the material vibrate at its natural frequency
- the airplane engine produce noise which cause the air vibrate
- due to resonance, the glass particles vibrate at maximum amplitude.
- need strong glass to withstand the effect of resonance/ the strong vibration so
that it does not break easily.
a) The reciprocal of focal length in metre 1 (with unit)

b) The lens is focused towards a distant object // Diagram.
Adjust the screen to obtain the sharp image formed on the screen. Measure the distance
between the optical centre of the lens and the screen using metre rule, f.
f = focal length.

c) (i) P = 1/f fo= 1 / P = 1 / 5 = 0.2 m // 20 cm
(ii) Magnification = fo / fe
fe = 25 20cm = 5 cm
Magnification = 20 / 5 = 4

c) (iii) The ticker the lens, the more powerful the lens
(d)
characteristics explanation
concave mirror reflect the light
the intensity of light is higher
condenser lens system


it can be used to focus the light
f < u < 2f to produce real and magnified image
inverted the image formed on the screen is upright

the most suitable is I. the type of mirror used is concave mirror, condenser lens system,
f<u< 2f and and the orientation of picture slide is invented.
