2 SECTION A Each question carries 8 marks. This section carries 40 marks of the total marks for this paper. 1. Orcas and dolphins can hear and produce very high frequency sounds. They use such sounds in their navigational system to orient and capture prey. Orcas produce a wide variety of clicks, whistles and pulsed calls. These vary in frequency from 1 khz to 25 khz.

A camera was used to take photographs of a toy yacht. The camera contains a converging lens. a) Complete the ray diagram to show how the converging lens produces an image of the object O. Figure 4 O F F b) If each square represents 5 cm, the height of the image is cm.

6 SECTION B Each question carries 15 marks. This section carries 45 marks of the total marks for this paper. 6. Angelo and Doreen set up a single water wave by pushing the water once with a piece of wood. They want to investigate how its velocity depends on the depth of water. a) Name the apparatus required to: i) measure the distance AB covered by the single plastic tank piece of wood 0.75 m 1 m d water B 2 m A Figure 5 wave: [1] ii) find the time taken for the wave to travel distance AB: [1] b) By referring to the diagram: i) find the distance covered by the water wave as it travels along AB [1] ii) calculate the depth of d of the water in the tank [1] c) It takes 1.6 seconds for the water wave to travel from A to B. Calculate the velocity of the water wave. d) Tick ONE correct precaution that is needed to ensure that the readings obtained are reliable. the tank must be a plastic one the water in the tank must be boiled before the experiment the tank containing water must be placed on a flat levelled surface the flat piece of wood used to set up a single wave in the tank must be very thin [1] Page 6 of 12 Physics Year 10 Track

7 e) Doreen suggests that the deeper the water level the greater is the water wave velocity. She investigates this statement by measuring the velocity while varying the depth. Depth / m Velocity / m/s i) Plot a graph of Velocity in m/s on the y-axis against Depth of water in m on the x-axis. Draw the best curve through the points. [5] ii) Use your graph to find the approximate velocity of the water wave when the depth of the water in the tank is 0.45 m. m/s [1] f) Doreen now placed a barrier in front of the waves. Complete the diagram in Figure 6 to show how the water waves behave when passing through this barrier. Figure 6 [2] Physics Year 10 Track Page 7 of 12
