1 A teacher demonstrates the production of circular waves in a ripple tank. Diagram shows the waves at an instant in time. Diagram (a) (b) Show on Diagram the wavelength of the waves. The teacher moves the source of the waves across the ripple tank. Diagram 2 shows the waves at an instant in time. Diagram 2 (Actual size) () Page of 6
2 (i) Use the correct answer from the box to complete each sentence. decreased increased stayed the same In Diagram 2, the observed wavelength of the waves at X has.... In Diagram 2, the frequency of the waves at X has.... (2) Take measurements from Diagram 2 to determine the wavelength of the waves received at X. Give the unit. Wavelength =... (3) (c) The teacher uses the waves in the ripple tank to model the changes in the wavelengths of light observed from distant galaxies. When observed from the Earth, there is an increase in the wavelength of light from distant galaxies. (i) State the name of this effect. () What does this increase in wavelength tell us about the movement of most galaxies? () Page 2 of 6
3 Explain how this observation supports the Big Bang theory of the formation of the Universe. (4) (iv) State one other piece of evidence that supports the Big Bang theory of the formation of the Universe. () (Total 3 marks) 2 (a) The Big Bang theory uses red-shift as evidence to explain the beginning of the Universe. How does the red-shift from distant galaxies provide evidence for the beginning of the Universe? (3) Page 3 of 6
4 (b) Cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) is a type of electromagnetic radiation. CMBR fills the Universe. It was first discovered in 965 by two astronomers called Penzias and Wilson. (i) What do scientists believe is the origin of CMBR? () Why was the discovery of CMBR so important to the scientists believing the Big Bang theory to be correct? () How is the wavelength of CMBR likely to change, if at all, over the next billion years? Give a reason for your answer. (2) (Total 7 marks) Page 4 of 6
5 Mark schemes (a) wavelength correctly shown (b) (i) increased decreased 7-8 inclusive evidence of measurement divided by 3 or mean of 3 separate measurements mm accept cm if consistent with answer (c) (i) red shift moving away the furthest galaxies show the biggest red shift (meaning that) the furthest galaxies are moving fastest (so the) Universe is expanding (extrapolating backwards this suggests that) the Universe started from an initial point (iv) cosmic microwave background radiation allow CMBR [3] Page 5 of 6
