Practice Questions:
Write out the variables (ie frequency = ) and the equations used
1. A water wave travels through a pond with a frequency of 5Hz and they are 10
m apart. How fast are they travelling?
2. Ricky hears a thunderclap that makes his ear drum vibrate at 165 Hz. The
wavelength of the sound is 2 m how fast is the sound wave travelling?
3. Hannah sings an A, she knows the wavelength of the sound wave is 1.5m. How
many times does her vocal chords vibrate per second? (hint: you need the
answer to question 2)
4. Hannah plays another note on her guitar, the string vibrates with a frequency
of 300 Hz what is the duration (the period) of each vibration of the string?
5. Jon has been running his heart is beating 180 times a minute. What is the
frequency and period of his heart beats.
6. Jack throws a stone into the centre of a pond. The pond has a radius of 4m.
He notices that it takes 2 seconds for the wave to reach the edge. He thinks
the wavelength of the ripple is about 1m. What is the frequency of his
ripple? What is the period of the ripple?
7. Purple light has a wavelength of around 6x10 -7m. If its frequency is 5x1014
Hz what is the speed of light?
8. Red light travels at the same speed. Work out its frequency if its wavelength
is about 4x10-7m.

Refraction in Water 18/05/17
Aim
Experimentally determine the effect of water depth
on speed and establish if there is a relationship
between the two
Overview:
Work out what you are going to do before you start
You need at least 6 different depths for a graph
The effect is only noticed on small depths (mm not cm)
You need to make sure that the effect is not drowned out by
your reaction time
You need to make sure that one mistake does not ruin your
results
Results:
Create a table of the incident, refracted angles, sin i, and sin r.
Plot a graph of sin i (x) against sin r (y)
Analysis
What shape is your graph?
Add an extra column to your table with the heading
refractive index (n)
n = sin(i) sin (r)
Calculate the gradient of your graph
The critical angle of glass (c) = 41
Calculate sin(c)

Water waves
are reflected
by the barrier Barrier
Shallow water
Small amount of
spreading (diffraction)
For Edges
Long wavelengths diffract more than short
wavelengths.
For Gaps
The wavelength should be the same size
as the gap to get good diffraction.
Wavelength = speed/frequency
Wavelength = 330/440 = 0.75metres
About the same size as the width of a door

Digital vs Analogue
Analogue signals are continually changing.
Digital signals are either zero or one
This means if the signal gets distorted you can work out
the digital signal (it should either be zero or one) but
you will not be able to tell the original analogue signal
