1. In an experiment, laser light is shone through a diffraction grating so that a series of bright dots
appears on a screen. The equation nλ = dsinθ can be used to determine the wavelength of the laser
light.
2. A pulse of ultrasound is emitted from the bottom of a boat. The ultrasound reflects from the
seabed and is detected at the bottom of the boat after time t. The depth d of water under the boat is
shown.

3. A sound wave travels through air. The diagram represents the displacement of air particles along
the wave at an instant in time.
4. A student determines the wavelength of the light emitted by a laser. She uses the laser, a
diffraction grating and a screen.
3
5. The speed of waves on a vibrating string is investigated using the apparatus shown.
6. The graph shows how displacement varies with time for a particular point as a wave passes.
4
Questions 7 and 8 refer to the standing wave pattern on a string as shown.
8. Which of the following sections of the string would be in phase with each other?
5
Section B
1. A student draws the pattern formed by a standing wave on a string.
6
2. An experiment is carried out to investigate the speed of transverse waves on a stretched string
of length L. A vibration generator causes the string to oscillate so that a stationary wave is
produced. The frequency of the vibration generator is adjusted until the wave pattern shown in
the diagram is produced.

4. A student directed light from a laser so that the light was incident on a diffraction
grating at 90°. The student placed a screen a distance x from the grating and
observed a series of bright maxima of order n on the screen.
The student determined the value of θ1 shown on the diagram.
