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. (2)

QUESTION 3
Study the following wave form diagram for a wave travelling at 340 m.s” in air.
3.1. 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)

QUESTION 4
Bats hunt for food by sending out high frequency sound waves. 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)

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. Name one source of ultraviolet radiation. (1)
5.2. Name the radiation that is used to observe objects and people in the
absence of light. (1)
5.3 Which ONE of the above waves has the highest frequency?
Use the data in the table to explain. (2)
5.4 Calculate the frequency of ultraviolet light. (3)
5.5 Define a photon. (2)
5.6 Calculate the energy of a photon of x-rays. (4)
