D 2.05 1020 Hz
5 An oscilloscope is connected to a microphone. The diagram shows the trace displayed when a note
is played.
A note is played of half the amplitude and twice the frequency. The settings of the oscilloscope
remain unchanged. Which diagram shows the trace for this note? [1]
A B
C D
a Calculate:
i the period of the wave [2]
ii the frequency of the wave. [1]
b On a copy of the diagram draw a wave of the same frequency but four times the intensity. [1]
9 An oscilloscope has its time-base and Y-sensitivity (Y-gain) set on 0.5 ms cm−1 and 0.5 V cm−1,
respectively. A person whistles into a microphone connected to the oscilloscope. The trace
displayed on the oscilloscope screen is shown below.
