1 NCEA Level 1 Physics (90938) 2015 page 1 of 7 Assessment Schedule 2015 Physics: Demonstrate understanding of aspects of wave behaviour (90938) Assessment Criteria with Merit with Excellence Demonstrate understanding of aspects of wave behaviour involves: Demonstrating awareness of sound wave propagation and properties of sound waves. Demonstrate in-depth understanding of aspects of wave behaviour involves: Showing how sound wave propagation relates to particle motion and to properties of sound wave. Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of aspects of wave behaviour involves: Providing evidence that shows how concepts of wave properties and wave propagation relate to situation of echolocation. Evidence Q with Merit with Excellence ONE (a)(i) (ii) Longitudinal wave. 2 wavelengths. Defines a wavelength / explains using diagram. Longitudinal wave. 2 wavelengths, because wavelength is distance between one compression to next compression / repeating pattern. (b) (c) Particles move parallel/in same direction as wave movement. Calculates a period using frequency of 150 Hz to get answer of Use of T 1/ but left as fraction. Incorrect rounding of T = but missing / incorrect unit.

(Since velocity of sound in water remains constant) an echo from a near object arrives earlier / in a shorter time (not quicker ) than that from a distant object. E7: (Since velocity of sound in water remains constant) an echo from a near object arrives earlier/in a shorter time (not quicker ) than that from a distant object.

Any TWO of following: Angle of incidence = = 35 Angle of reflection is equal to angle of incidence. E7: Angle of incidence is = = 35 Angle of reflection is equal to angle of incidence. : Ray bends towards normal when going from seawater to plastic Ray bends towards normal when going from seawater to plastic Ray bends towards normal when going from seawater to plastic Ray bends away from normal when going from plastic to air Ray bends away from normal when going from plastic to air Ray bends away from normal when going from plastic to air (Correct arrows drawn on rays) (Correct arrows drawn on rays) States that reflected ray has same speed as incoming ray. States that reflected ray has same speed as incoming ray because both waves travelling in same medium. (Reflection does not cause a change in speed.) States that reflected ray has same speed as incoming ray because both waves travelling in same medium. (Reflection does not cause a change in speed.) E8: Plus states / implies Angle of incidence is measured from normal. (Ray bends more away from normal compared to amount it bends towards normal from seawater to plastic.)

5 NCEA Level 1 Physics (90938) 2015 page 5 of 7 NØ N1 N2 A3 A4 M5 M6 E7 E8 No response; no relevant Very little Some evidence at level; partial explanations. Most Nearly all Some Merit level with remainder at is at Merit level with some at most tasks with evidence at Excellence level weak or incomplete. most tasks with evidence at Excellence level accurate and full. As above. 1a 2a 3a 1e + 1a 1m + 1a 4a 2m 1e + 2a 1e + 1m 3m 2(d) is correct 2(d) is correct including explanation of angle of incidence measured from normal and ray bends away more from plastic to air compared to bending towards normal from seawater to plastic

6 NCEA Level 1 Physics (90938) 2015 page 6 of 7 Q with Merit with Excellence THREE (a) One correct ray drawn, Correct ray diagram drawn, Or a correct ray diagram with two rays drawn but missing arrows, or no dotted lines for virtual rays. including arrows and dotted lines for virtual rays. (b) (c) A real image can be captured on a screen a real image is formed when real rays meet. A virtual image cannot be captured on a screen. Virtual image has diverging rays and a real image has converging rays States ONE of conditions: Light must travel from an optically denser medium towards an optically less dense medium. Light is incident at interface at an angle greater than critical angle. States BOTH conditions: Light must travel from water to air. / Light must travel from an optically denser medium towards an optically less dense medium. The incident light must strike (water-air) interface at an angle greater than critical angle.

Since v = f λ, doubling frequency halves wavelength because velocity remains constant. If frequency is doubled number of waves produced per second are doubled so wavelength will halve frequency is number of waves per second. E7: Since v = f λ, doubling frequency halves wavelength E8: because velocity remains constant. E7: If frequency is doubled number of waves produced per second are doubled so wavelength will halve.
