SOUND

1 (a) Boy A and boy B are 150 m and 350 m respectively from a high wall. Boy A gives a clap
and boy B hears two claps 2 s apart. Calculate the speed of sound in air.

(b) A boy stands between two high walls. He claps his hands once and hears two echoes, one
after 0.5 s and the other 0.3 s after the first. Calculate the distance between the two walls given
that the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s.

LENSES

1) (a) A student is asked to measure the focal length f of a convex lens. A quick method is used
first to obtain a rough estimate for f. This is followed by a more accurate experiment.
For the quick estimate, the student forms a focused image of the Sun on a piece of card.
(i) Sketch a labelled diagram to show how f can be measured.
(ii) The student repeats the experiment in (a) using a window 4m away instead of the
Sun. State how this will affect the measurement obtained for f.

(b) A small object is placed 6 cm away from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm By means of a
ray diagram drawn to scale, find the nature, position and linear magnification of the image.

(c) A convex lens of focal length 30 cm is used to form a real image on a screen 90 cm from the
lens. By a ray diagram drawn to scale, find the object distance from the lens and the
magnification.
