11. Read this passage and answer the questions below. The guitar has been around in one form or another for

centuries, but the principals behind how it works have been in use in musical instruments ever since the first cave man pulled the string on his bow and noticed a sound. A guitar is simply an expansion of this idea to create a series of strings tied taut, and placed over a large hollow body to resonate the sounds. There are various styles of guitars all which have different sounds, the two most common acoustic models being the classical, or nylon string guitar, and the folk, or steel string guitar. Each guitar has its own unique sound, depending on the materials of the strings, the composition of its body, as well as the air between them.

There are six strings on a guitar, each with an open note of E2, A2, D3, G3, B3 and E4, each with

corresponding frequencies of 82 Hz, 110 Hz, 147 Hz, 196 Hz, 247 Hz and 330 Hz. These frequencies represent the root tone of each string. What makes a guitar sound the way it does is the overlay of various frequencies on each string, or the overtones present. These patterns of overtones and their strengths are what make a guitar sound different from, for example, a trombone. In addition, this exact pattern of overtones is impossible to repeat, and so every instrument will sound different, as in fact will every note as subtle changes from the exact location on the string where it is plucked to the force, direction, and the age of the string both off and on the guitar all have small effects on the sound.

(Adapted from http://ffden-2-phys.uaf.edu/211.web.stuff/billington/main.htm) (a) What is meant by resonance? (2m + 2m + 3m) (7) – if the frequency applied – is equal to the natural frequency of object – the object vibrates (b) What is meant by the fundamental frequency of a stretched string? (4m + 3m) (7) – the lowest frequency a string will vibrate at – when plucked

(c) Guitar strings form standing waves when plucked. Draw a diagram representing standing

waves. (7) – Labelled diagram (4m + 3m) Apparatus must include: – standing wave pattern with at least 2 nodes – standing wave pattern with at least 1 antinode (d) How does the fundamental frequency of the stretched string depend on its length? (4m + 3m) (7) – f 1/l – frequency is inversely proportional to – notation / length (e) Name two other factors that the fundamental frequency depends on. (4m + 3m) (7) – tension – mass per unit length

(f) If the fundamental frequency of a stretched string is 532 Hz and the speed of the wave in the string is 480 m s–1, what is the wavelength of the wave set up on the string? (4m + 3m) (7) (c = fλ) – c = fλ, 480 = 532λ – λ = 0.902 m (g) From part (f), what is the distance between the two nearest nodes?

(2m + 2m + 3m) (7) A – P = W/t = (235200) / (20 × 60) – P = 196 W B – P = W/t = (313600) / (45 × 60) = 116.15 W

(2 × 3m) (6) – heat gained from the surroundings while the water is below room temperature – is balanced by heat lost to the surroundings when water is above room temperature If the student added more steam to the water, how would this have affected the accuracy of the result? (4) Any 1: (4m) – greater rise in temperature of the water, less percentage error in temperature rise value // – if too much steam added, large rise in temperature may lead to loss in heat to

11. Read the following passage and answer the accompanying questions. The sun contains many elements but the most abundant by far is hydrogen. The visible layers (the

photosphere and the chromosphere) are the only part of the sun that is cool enough for hydrogen to exist in its atomic form and it is here that we can see the absorption and emission spectra for hydrogen.

It is helpful to think of a hydrogen atom as a small 'solar system' with the heavy nucleus as the

'sun' in the middle. This particular solar system has only one planet orbiting – i.e. a single electron. Due to the laws of quantum physics, this electron can only orbit the nucleus in specific orbits which are given a number n.

Hydrogen can absorb and emit in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum (the Lyman series) but the

emissions and absorptions we see in the visible part of the spectrum are the Balmer series and occur when electrons jump from and fall to the n=2 orbit.

(Diagram and article from http://www.solarobserving.com/halpha.htm)

levels for the H alpha line? (3m + 4m) (7) – E = hc/λ – E = (6.6 × 10–34)(3 × 108)/(656 × 10–9) = 3.02 × 10–19 J (c) A spectrometer was used to collect the above spectrum. How many H alpha lines could

would be observed) ** Deduct 1m if central fringe included. (d) What is the next most abundant element, after hydrogen, in the sun? Name the reaction that

of length 160 m and width 100 m? Assume it strikes the field at right angles. (2m + 3m + 2m) (7) – area = 160 × 100 =16000 m2 – energy per second on field = (1.35 × 103)(16000) = 2.16 × 107 J – percentage = [(2.16 × 107)/(4 × 1023)] × 100 = 5.4 × 10–15 % (h) What conclusion could be drawn from the fact that the H alpha line from a hydrogen line

spectrum produced by a distant star was observed to be of lower wavelength than that produced by the sun? (3m + 4m) (7)

– lower wavelength corresponds to higher frequency – by Doppler effect star is moving towards us (Planck constant = 6.6 × 10–34 J s; speed of light in a vacuum = 3 × 108 m s–1;

solar constant = 1.35 kW m–2)

(4m) (4) – t / C = T / K – 273.15 A student placed an uncalibrated mercury thermometer and a thermistor in a bath of ice and

water. The student noted the length of the mercury column and the resistance of the thermistor. The student then placed the thermometer and the thermistor in a beaker of boiling water and again noted the length of the mercury column and the resistance of the thermistor. These mercury column lengths and resistance values were used separately to determine the temperature of a beaker of lukewarm water. The student obtained a reading of 40 C based on the length of the mercury column. A reading of 55 C was obtained from the reading of the resistance on the thermistor. (18)

– use mercury thermometer as standard – measure resistance at number of different temperatures and plot graph (iii) Sketch a graph showing the variation of resistance with temperature for a thermistor for a

metal coil. (2 × 3m) (6) – correct curved downward shape – decrease rapidly with increasing temperature (c) Derive an equation for the effective total resistance in a circuit with three resistors connected

in parallel. (4 × 3m) (12) – ITotal = I1 + I2 + I3

An alarm, a resistor and a light-dependent resistor (LDR) are connected as shown in the

diagram. When it is dark, the LDR has a resistance of 1 MΩ. The alarm needs a current of 0.2 A to operate.

Calculate: (16) (i) the current flowing through the alarm when it is dark; (3m + 2m + 3m)

– total R = 200 + 50 = 250 Ω – I = V/R = 24/250 = 0.096 A (ii) the resistance of the LDR, if the minimum amount of light that causes the alarm to sound, is

incident on the LDR. (3m + 2m + 3m) – total resistance = V/I = 24/0.2 = 120 Ω – RP = 120 – 50 = 70 Ω

(d) Distinguish between mutual and self induction. (3 × 3m) (9) – changing magnetic field in a coil induces – mutual - an EMF in a nearby coil – self - an opposing EMF in the same coil Why is mutual or self induction not possible using a d.c. battery as the power supply?

(2 × 3m) (6) – d.c. battery produces constant current, therefore produces constant magnetic field – need changing magnetic field to produce an EMF In a television set, the filament has a power rating of 30 W. A 230 V a.c. supply is connected

to the primary coil of a transformer. The primary coil consists of 2000 turns. If the filament is connected to a secondary coil consisting of 52 turns and the transformer is 90% efficient, calculate the current flowing in both coils. (4m + 3m + 3m +3m) (13)
