Core 1
a

light travels faster than sound

much faster / very fast so that it appears to arrive instantaneously

b(i)

because of the echo

(ii)

the absorption of sound / dispersion / diffraction

speed = distance / time

distance = speed x time
= 330 x 4
= 1320 m

Waves

Core 2
a

sound

infra-red

X-rays

d(i)

there is no air on the moon so air can not travel

radio waves do not need a medium to travel

(ii)

Waves

radio / micro waves

Core 3
a(i)

(ii)

wavelength = 90 / 6
= 15 cm

(iii)

arcs of circles

the pond has a constant depth

because it travels at the same speed in all directions

(ii)

the motion may be described as up and down or in circles

b(i)

transverse
longitudinal

(ii)

Waves

the motion should be described as backwards and forwards / back and forth

page 3

Extension 1
a(i)

a place of higher pressure / air molecules closer together

(ii)

a place of lower pressure / air molecules further apart

wavelength = 2.5 m

speed = 330 m/s

frequency = 330 / 2.5

= 130 Hz
c

distance travelled in 1.2 s = 330 x 1.2 = 396 m

distance to object = 396 / 2 = 198 m

Extension 2
a

velocity = frequency x wavelength

= 0.8 x 1.6
= 1.3 m/s

b(i)

1.6 m / the same

(ii)

0.8 Hz / the same

the diagram should show part circles (not semi-circles) centred on the middle of the gap
