‘Method 1 (Calculating distance to crack)
Reads time difference of 24.5 - 25 ys from graph
Use of speed = distance/time to calculate distance
Uses half time or half distance in calculation
Depth = 7.1 - 7.3 om < 15cm, so reflection is from a crack
Or Depth = 7.1 - 7.3 em < 15cm, so cannot be from bottom of rail
OR Method 2 (Calculating time to bottom of rail and back)
Use of speed = distance/time to calculate time
Uses 30cm in calculation
Reads time difference of 24.5 - 25 ys from graph
Time = 521s > 24.5 — 25 pis , so reflection is from a crack
Or Time = 52us > 24.5 ~ 25 us , so cannot be from the bottom of rail
Example of calculation
Time between transmitting and receiving = 24.75ps
So time taken to get to point of reflection = 12.375us
Distance = speed time = 5800 ms"! x (12.375 x 10%

“Most/all of the ultrasound is reflected by the first crack
‘Or Pulse does not reach second crack
Or None of the pulse is transmitted after the crack

The refracted ray lacks the planes of oscillation in the reflected light.

Example of calculation
Tan i= (1.8 cm/3.0 cm), i= 31°
Tan r= (3.7 em/ 4.0 cm), r= 43°

r for violet light = 31.9° or r for red light = 32.3°
Use of trigonometry to calculate horizontal distances whilst in block
For violet, distance = 3.98 cm or for red, distance = 4,05 cm
Distance between points = 0.070 cm / 0.70 mm.
(Lf working is only shown to 2 significant figures, the distances will
come out to be the same. This can score MP1-4 only if all the working
is clearly shown)
(For MP1, allow use of m = sin i/ sin r)
(If candidate has the n values the wrong way round, MP1 can still be
awarded if equation used correctly otherwise)
Example of calculation
nisin6i = msiné2. In air, m = 1.000 and 61 = $4.00°
so, for violet light, sinr = sin (54.00°) / 1.532, so r = 31.88°
For red light, sinr = sin (54.0°) / 1.513, so r = 32.32°
For violet light, tan (31.88°) = x / 6.400 cm, so x = 3.981 cm
For red light, tan (32.32°) = x / 6.40 cm, so x = 4.049 cm
Distance between points = 4,049 cm — 3.981 cm = 0.068 em

Silicon carbide has a greater refractive index (than diamond)
Or silicon carbide has a smaller critical angle (than diamond)
Or critical angle for silicon carbide is 23°
Or critical angle is still less than the angle of incidence

So total internal reflection (TIR) would (still) take place
