0972 June 2021 QP 41 Cie Igcse Physics - Pdfquestion6

The document describes a sound wave traveling through air and passing through a barrier. It asks the reader to: 1) Mark two points of compression on a diagram of the sound wave and label them C. 2) Determine the frequency of the sound wave given its speed in air. 3) Describe how a diagram of the wave with a higher frequency passing through the barrier would differ from the original diagram, including having more compressions in the same space.

(a) On Fig. 6.1, mark two points, each at the centre of a different compression. Label both of the
points C. [1]

(b) The speed of sound in air is 330 m / s.

Measure the diagram and determine the frequency of the sound.

(c) The wave reaches a barrier. Fig. 6.2 shows the wave passing through a gap in the barrier.

The frequency of the wave is increased to a value many times greater than the value obtained
in (b).

Describe and explain two ways in which a diagram representing the wave with the greater
frequency differs from Fig. 6.2.
