(a)

(b) The frequency of the light in air = 4.6 1014 Hz. (Frequency does not change when light passes
from one material to another)
(c) The wavelength is bigger in air. Since the frequency is constant, when v increase, the wavelength
increases.

Answer Question 5

1. When light enters the diamond, it is difficult for it to leave because of the high refractive index
of the diamond
2. Repeated total internal reflection occurs inside the diamond
3. All the bouncing means that light leaves the diamond in many different directions, leading to
the sparkle.
4. Putting a diamond underwater means that the difference in speeds (or index of refraction) is
much less which leads to less total internal reflection, and therefore, less sparkling.

Answer Question 6

1. A person outside in bright sunlight reflecting lots of light.

2. The light would come through the window to the person inside, so the person inside can see
them clearly.

3. For the person outside, since it is so bright outside, there is also a good amount of light which
reflects back toward them.
Some reflection occurs at an interface between two materials.
4. This can distract them from the little bit of light from inside that is going toward them (which
would be hard to notice anyway), so they have a much harder time seeing you

20
 Modul Fizik X A PLUS 2015 September 2015

Answer Question 8

1. The film is located at the focal point.

2. Very distant objects have light the reaches the camera pretty much parallel, so that light will be
focused right at the focal point of the lens.
3. Closer objects will have rays that will be diverging a little (they are not quite parallel)
4. They will not be focused until after the focal length (that is, at a distance further from the lens than
the lens focal point).
5. For objects close to the camera, the lens should be further from the film. (Many simple cameras are
made without focusing adjustments and cannot be used for taking pictures of objects closer than
about 1.5 m)

Answer Question 12

Suggestion Reason

A convex lens Focuses much more light onto the film

The film To produce the image

The diaphragm opens and closes; in dull conditions it is open to

allow as much light as possible to enter the camera, and in
The diaphragm
bright conditions it is nearly closed
This controls the amount of light that enters the camera

This controls the length of time that light falls on the film
The shutter speed control
(for the fast moving object that is photographing)

The low density material to make

Lower mass, lighter.
the body of the camera

Rings to fix both the diaphragm So that they can be adjusted for taking pictures of the object

(b) 0.0725 seconds (72.5 milliseconds)

Answer Question 2

(a) 6.8 x 10-5 m

(b) 0.99 cm

Answer Question 3

1. Ultrasonic waves are sound waves

2. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of particles through which the sound
travels.
3. The particles involved move back and forth parallel to the way the wave is going.

4. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.
5. The particles involved in waves move up and down perpendicularly to the way the wave is
going.

6. In both waves, the particles dont move significantly in the direction of the wave.
7. As the particles move further away from their normal position, they slow down.
8. This means that some of their kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy the
energy of particles in a wave oscillates between kinetic and potential energy.

1. When air is blown through the reed, the reed vibrates producing turbulence with a range of
frequencies.
2. When the frequency of vibration of the reed matches the frequency of vibration of the air
column in the straw, energy transferred.
3. Resonance occurs.
4. The result of resonance, the vibrating reed forces an air column to produce a big vibration - the
reed and air column sound out together to produce a loud sound.

Question 14

1. The power loss,P, due to the resistance, R, in power line can be reduced, P = I 2R
2. So the power loss in the transmissions cable can be reduced by reducing the current, I, in the
cables.
3. The power to be transmitted by the cables is P = VI where V = voltage of the cables and I =
current in the cables.
4. The current is inversely proportional to the voltage.
5. So increase the voltage in the cable transmission in order to reduce the current in power line
6. Use alternate current because its voltage can be step-up by using a transformer
