(Correct antinodal line) 1A
(ii) The amplitude of particles on nodal lines is zero (very small). 1A
The amplitude of particles on antinodal lines is twice as large
(larger) than when only one source is turned on. 1A

Resistance of thermistor = I =30×10
From the given graph, the temperature of the thermistor is 52 C。 1A
(b) As the milliammeter has an internal resistance, the actual voltage across the thermistor is smaller
than 12 V and its actual resistance is smaller than 400 . 1A
This implies that the actual temperature is higher than 52 C。 1A
