Bab 6 C - Answer

Diagram (b) shows diffracted waves spreading out in a circular pattern, showing a bigger diffraction effect than the curved waves in diagram (a). Characteristics like low density, high tension, and smaller string length produce higher pitch sounds from a guitar string, due to faster wave travel, higher frequency, and shorter wavelength. Ultrasonic waves are suitable for detecting soft organs because their longer wavelength cuts down on diffraction and increases reflection off organs.

Diagram (a) shows the diffracted waves curving at the edge only. 1
Diagram (b) shows the diffracted waves becoming circular waves.
Wavelength of the diffracted waves remains unchanged.
(ii) Diagram (b) will show a bigger effect of diffraction. 1
The narrower the gap, the more obvious is the spreading of waves. 1
(b)
Characteristics Reason
Low density Lighter/less massive string, 2
wave travel faster and
frequency higher
High tension High frequency hence high 2
pitch

Smaller length of the string Produce higher frequency 2


- smaller length of string has
low wavelength
String material: Stainless steel Produce bright sound/ high
corrosion resistance/ Lasting 2
and does not break easily/
Prolong and retain their tone
longer
2
Q is chosen low density, high tension,
smaller length of the string
and its made of steel

(ii) Frequency will remain the same 1 20
Wavelength will decrease 1
Speed will decrease 1
2 (a) Wave is a periodic motion to transfer energy from the centre of 1
vibration
(b) When depth increase, velocity will increase, wavelength increase 4
and higher diffraction happen.
(c)
Properties Reason
Ultrasonic Suitable to detect soft organ 2
Longer wavelength is used Cut down diffraction and 2
increase reflection
Higher amplitude More energy can be reflected 2
Reflection Use different intensity of
reflection to map out the 2
shape of the organ.

C is chosen because ultrasonic with higher wavelength and 2 10


amplitude can give reflection
