2. Give the name of the piece of apparatus that could be connected to the oscilloscope
to detect the ultrasound waves 示波器连啥
Microphone
3. Describe how the oscilloscope is used to measure the time period of the ultrasound
waves 怎么用示波器读周期
Adjust the oscilloscope ¿ obtain steady trace
Adjust time base ¿ display one cycle
number|of squares for full cycle
Multiply number of square by timebase
5. Describe how the dangers of electromagnetic waves vary with wavelength 电磁波的
危害
Long wavelength electromagnetic waves cause little harm
As wavelength decreases ,the harm increases
Infrared /microwaveradiation only causes damage ¿ the skin
Ultraviolet radiation causes damage¿ cells below the skin/causes skin cancer
X −ray / gamma radiationcauses cell mutation∧cancer .
6. State the formula linking refractive index, angle of incidence and angle of refraction
sin (angle of incidence)
refractive index=
sin (angle of refraction)

8. Sound is an example of a type of wave. State the name of this type of wave.
Longitudinal
9. Suggest why the speed of sound in liquids is greater than the speed of sound in
gases.
Particles arranged randomly
Particles further apart ∈ gas than∈liquid
Sound travels by vibration
Vibrations are passed more efficiently when particles are closer together
[Angle of incidence = angle of reflection; wavefront drawn perpendicular to the light rays; 入
射角等于反射角, 波前与光路垂直
for light: going from less dense medium to more dense medium (e.g. air to glass), the light
ray bends toward normal; going from more dense to less dense medium, the light ray bends
away from normal. 对与光来说, 当从光疏介质到光密介质时 (比如从空气到玻璃), 光线
靠近法线; 当从光密介质到光疏介质时, 光线远离发现.

17. Design an experiment to investigate how the angle of incidence of a ray of light
affects the angle of refraction in the glass block 入射角与折射角关系实验
19. Describe the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave
Transverse : direction of vibration is perpendicular ¿ direction of energy transfer
Longitudinal :direction of vibrationis∥¿ direction of energy transfer
