“1 1. The sold line in the graph shows the variation with distance x of the displacement y of a travelling wave at ¢=0. The detted line shows the wave 020m later. The period of the wave is longer than 0.20ms. (2) ()_ Calculate, in ms“, the speed for this wave. i (i) Calculate, in He, the frequency for this wave. 2 (b) The graph also shows the displacement of two particles, P and Qin the medium at £0. State and explain which particle has the larger magnitude of acceleration at ¢-0. [2] (This question continues on the following page) (Question 1 continued) (c) One end ofa sting is attached to an oscillator and the other is fixed to a wall. When the frequency of the oscilator is 380 Hz the standing wave shown is formed on the string 21m ‘oscilator Point X (not shown) is a point on the string at a distance of 10cm from the oscillator. (i) State the number of all other points on the string that have the same ampitude and phase as X. tH (ii) The frequency of the oscillator is reduced to 120Hz. On the diagram, draw the standing wave that will be formed on the string (1 241m 0 ‘oscllator 2. Abeam of microwaves is incident normally on a pair of identical narrow slits S1 and S2.
