Physical Sciences/P1 Downloaded from hlayiso.com.., 2018 Common Test NSC — Grade 10 1.3. Which type of wave DOES NOT travel at 3 x 10° m.s'? Radio Gamma Sound Microwaves (2) 0VQWUY 1.4 Two sound waves, A and B, are travelling through air. Wave A has a wavelength of 4,5 m and wave B has a wavelength of 1,5 m. If the temperature of the air remains constant as the waves travel, then it can be concluded that: A The speed of A is 9 times that of B B The speed of A is 3 times that of B Cc The speed of A is 1/3 times that of B D Both waves travel at the same speed. (2) [8] QUESTION 2 Two pulses, A and B, travelling in a medium approach each other. The resulting amplitude when the two pulses meet at point Qis +2 cm. Pulse B has an amplitude of +5 cm, and is moving eastwards. The pulse length of both pulse A and B is 4 cm. 2.1 Define a pulse. (2) 2.2 What type of interference takes place at point Q? Give a reason. (2) 2.3. Determine the amplitude of pulse A. (2) 2.4 — Will the pulse length of the resulting pulse at point Q be EQUAL TO; LESS THAN or GREATER THAN 4 cm? Give a reason.

How long does it take for the wave to make one complete wave cycle? (1) 3.2. Define wavelength. (2) 3.3. How many wave cycles are there between points X and Y? (1) 3.4 Calculate the frequency of this wave. (2) 3.5 Calculate the wavelength of this wave? (3) 3.6 Copy this wave diagram in your answer book. Label this wave A. 3.6.1 On this same diagram, draw a second wave with a pitch twice that of A and an amplitude that is half of A. Label this wave B. Indicate the relevant times for each wave cycle. (3) 3.6.2 How does the wave length of wave B compare to that of wave A Use LONGER THAN, EQUAL TO or SHORTER THAN. (1) [13] Copyright Reserved Please Turn Over

The time taken for the emitted wave to return to the bat enables the bat to determine the distance of the food from it. 4.1 Write down one word for the phrase “reflected sound”. (1) 4.2 Asound wave emitted from a bat strikes a stationary object and returns to the bat after 0,01 s. Calculate how far the object is from the bat. (4) 4.3. Give areason why this sound wave produced by the bat can be called ultrasound? (1) 4.4. How does the speed of sound waves in air compare to the speed in sound waves in water? (1) [7] QUESTION 5 The following are some electromagnetic waves and their corresponding wavelengths: Electromagnetic Radiation Wavelength (m) Wave Z 5x10" X-rays 7 _ a 2x10 Ultraviolet 3x 107 Visible light 5x 10° Infra-red 4x 10° 5.1.
