4. You are assigned to investigate the properties of waves that could be used in broadcasting and communication. Table below shows the properties of six types of waves P, Q, R, S T and U. Wave Type of wave Material medium for propagation P Transverse Not required Q Transverse Not required R Transverse Not required S Transverse Not required T Longitudinal Required U Longitudinal Required

Penetrates matter Absorbed by glass Refracted by glass Medium Weak Weak

Based on the table, select the most suitable wave that could be used in broadcasting and communication and give your reasons. [10 marks] Answer: Characteristics It is transverse wave It does not require material medium for propagation It travels at a very high speed It does not need a high penetrating power

Reason It can be modulated by the signal frequency It can travel through vacuum Information can be sent immediately to any destination Information can be transmitted in a straight line from one place to another

Wave R is chosen because of it is transverse wave, not require material medium, very high speed and doesn’t need a high penetrating power.

5. Figure 5.1 shows the arrangement of the apparatus tor an experiment to study a wave phenomenon.

Figure 5.1 Figure 5.1 shows the bright and dark bands of the wave pattern formed on the white piece of paper produced by the vibration of two spherical dippers on the water surface.

Figure 1.2 Figure 5.2

Figure 1.3 Figure 5.3

(ii) Observe Figures 5.2 and 5.3. Compare the wave patterns produced by the spherical dippers. State the relationship between the distance of the two coherent of two consecutive node or antinode lines. [5 marks] Answer: i. The spherical dippers are closer in Figures 5.2 and they are futher apart in Figure 5.3 ii. The wavelength is the same in Figure 5.2 and 5.3. iii. The distance of two separation between two consecutive antinode or node lines is smaller in Figure 5.3 than 5.2 iv. The angle between the successive antinode or node lines is smaller in Figure 5.3 than5.2 v. The smaller the distance between two coherent sources, the larger is the distance between the two consecutive antinode or node lines. 38

(ii) Observe Figure 6.2(a) and (b). Compare the waves patterns and the wavelength of the waves before and after they pass through the gaps. Relate the size of the gaps, the waves patterns and the wavelengths to deduce a relevant physics concept. [5 marks] a. In figure 6.1(a), size of the wavelength is the same as size of the gap // In figure 6.1(b), size of the gap is wider than size of the wavelength b. In figure 6.1(a) and figure 6.1(b), size of the wavelengths are the same before and after they pass through the gaps. c. The waves emerging from the narrow gap in figure 6.1(a) is circular wavefronts d. The waves emerging from the wider gap is plane wavefronts e. When a wave passes through a gap, the wave spreads. The narrower the gap the greater the spreading of the wave (c)

Figure 6.3 shows the seashore of a fishing village. During the rainy season, waves are big. One year the waves eroded the seashore, caused the jetty to collapse and damaged the fishermen’s boats.

Figure 6.3 To prevent similar damage in the future, the fishermen suggest building retaining walls and relocating the jetty. Make further suggestion of ways to help the fishermen solve their problems. You should use your knowledge of reflection, refraction and diffraction of waves to explain these suggestions, to include the following aspects. (i) the design and structure of the retaining wall, (ii) the location of the new jetty (iii) the size or energy of the waves [10 marks] Answer: 1. Build slanting barrier to reduce speed of wave 2. Build the rough barrier to reduce reflection of the waves 3. Build the new jetty at the bay because the water is calm at the bay 4. Build the small opening surround the bay because diffraction happens at the opening 5. Build the barrier at the bay because the wave is spread according to the shape of the bay
