Section A

1 a) Interference of waves 1
b) P- constructive Q-destructive 2
c) i) Position at maximum/top/highest amplitude/highest displacement 1
ii) M1 Point P at constructive interference Max 1
M2 Crest meets crest Reject: Trough meets trough
M3 Amplitude of the wave is at maximum
TOTAL 5
2 a) A process when a heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei 1
b) uranium bombarded with neutron//to become more stable 1
c) i)
1

and alternative (use U 236, product has 3 neutrons)

ii) E =mc2
= (0.18606 x 1.66 x 10 -27) (3 x 108)2 2
= 2.7797 x 10-11 J (with correct unit) 1
Total 6
3 a) Light with 1 wavelength/frequency/ one colour 1
b) a in diagram 3.1 < 1
c) wavelength in diagram 3.1 = 1
d) D in diagram 3.1 = 1
e) x in diagram 3.1 > 1
f) the lower the a, the higher the x 1
g) x will decrease 1
- x is directly proportional to wavelength//wavelength less 1
h) bulbous bow generates water waves to reduce water drag// 1

Section B
Answer
1
(a) source with the same wavelength and phase difference
(b)
M1 – when 2 crests/troughs meet
M2 – Constructive interference/antinodes occur producing loud sound
M3 – When trough and crest meet
M4 – Destructive interference/nodes occur producing soft sound
Reject: Produce loud/soft sound only
(c)
M1 – the distance b/w two coherent sources are smaller in 1 (a)
M2 – wavelength in both diagrams is the same
M3 – the distance b/w two consecutive antinodal lines is greater in 1 (a)
M4 – the perpendicular distance from the source to the measured x is the same for both
M5 – the smaller the distance b/w two coherent sources, the greater the distance between
two consecutive antinodal lines.
