6.4 ANALYSING DIFFRACTION OF WAVES 1. Diffraction of waves is

…….......................................................................... they
move through a gap or around an obstacle. 2. The effect of diffraction is obvious
only if small (a) the size of the aperture or obstacle is …………..small / large
enough. large (b) the wavelength is ……………… small /large enough. 3. Frequency,
wavelength and …………………of waves do not change direction of propagation and the
pattern 4. The …………………………………………. of the waves are change Diffraction of water waves

the spreading out of waves when

speed

Exercise 6.4 1. The table shows the properties of diffracted water waves as they
pass through a gap. Choose the correct answers given into the blanks. Unchanged

2. Complete the diagrams below by drawing the wavefronts to show the diffraction of
water waves. (a) Narrow gap ≤ λ (b) Wider gap > λ

(c)Wider obstacle

(d) Narrow obstacle

incorrect
From the diagram above, 1. The ………….(narrower/wider) the gap, the more the waves
spread out. little 2. When the gap is much wider than the wavelength of the waves,
there is …………. (little/more) diffraction.

(ii) Diagram 1.1 Diagram 1.1(i) shows the condition of a car moving at high
velocity when it suddenly crashes into a wall. Diagram 1.1(ii) shows a tennis ball
hit with racquet by a player. a) (i) What is the meaning of momentum? Based on the
observations of Diagram (i) and (ii), compare the characteristics of car when it
crashes into the wall and the tennis ball when it is hit with a racquet. Hence,
relate these characteristics to clarify a physics concept, and name this concept.
Explain why a tennis player uses a taut racquet when playing. In launching a
rocket, a few technical problems have to be overcome before the rocket can move
upright to the sky. By using appropriate physics concepts, describe the design of a
rocket and the launch techniques that can launch the rocket upright. (ii)

(i)

b) c)

Answer a)

(i) (ii)

p=mv

- shape of car changed but the shape of wall remained. - The shape of ball and the
shape of the racquet string was changed. - The time taken of collision between the
ball and racquet string more than the time taken when the car hit the wall. - The
impulsive force will increase when the time of collision increased.
1

- The concept is the impulsive force

1

b)

- To decrease the time of collision between the ball and 1 the racquet string. -
Impulsive force will be increased. 1 - The player can hit the ball harder. - The
velocity of ball will be increased.

c)

– Front of rocket torpedo shape : To decrease air friction 2 - Body of rocket made
with strong material : To withstand high pressure 2 - Material must be of low
density : To reduce the mass/weight 2 - Rocket fuel made in stages : To be
ejectedto reduce mass - Made of low heat capacity of materials1 :will not get hot
