2 (a) A longitudinal wave is one in which the direction of propagation of energy is parallel to the direction of oscillation of the particles in the wave. (b) Since polarisation is the restriction of the plane of oscillation of the particles in a wave, and particles in a longitudinal wave are oscillating parallel to the direction of propagation of energy of the wave, their oscillations cannot be restricted to a plane, so longitudinal waves cannot be polarised. ci 1.5

(c)(i) The path difference of waves from the antennae to point P (equidistant from the two antennae) is zero. The phase difference at point P must be the same as the phase difference at the sources. Since point P experiences a minimum, implying destructive interference, the sources must be in anti-phase. (c)(ii) Since the two waves are broadcasted in anti-phase, in order for them to meet in constructive interference at point Q, path difference has to be an odd integer number of wavelengths.

Procedures: (4 marks) (Type of apparatus used to measure/ vary the variables) 1. Measure the length and width of the cardboard using a metre rule. 2. Measure the diameter, d, of the cross-sectional area of coil X using a vernier caliper and to calculate d2 the cross-sectional area, A = . 4 3. Measure the e.m.f induced in coil Y, using an A.C. voltmeter / C.R.O. 4. Use an alternating power supply/ signal generator connected to coil X 5. Use a variable resistor to adjust the current in coil X and an A.C. ammeter to measure and ensure a constant current in the circuit. (How to vary the independent variable) 6. Prepare cardboards of same width but rolled up to form cylindrical tubes of different diameters. 7. Set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram. 8.

9. Use a vernier caliper to measure the diameter of Coil X at 3 different positions along the tube. Take average reading as d. (Measuring the dependent variable) 10. Close the circuit for Coil X and ensure a constant current is supplied by the a.c. power supply. 11. Measure the induced e.m.f., V, across coil Y. Note: IfusingC.R.O.,statethatthemaximume.m.f.ismeasuredontheyaxisofthescreenusinge.m.f.V= (height)x(ygainonC.R.O.). 12. Repeat steps 7 to 8 for different values of A, and record the corresponding e.m.f. V for 6 sets of readings.

Analysis (1 mark) 1. Given that V is directly proportional to A, V = kA 2. Plot a graph of V against A. 3. The relationship is true if a straight line graph is obtained which passes through the origin. Alternatively : 1. Assume that V and A are related by the equation: V = kAn , where k and n are constants.

2. Taking lg on both sides, lg(V) = n lg(A) + lg (k). 3. Plot a graph of lg (V) against lg (A) 4. If V is directly proportional to A, a straight line graph will be obtained where the gradient is equal to 1 and the y-intercept is equal to lg(k).

Safety Precautions (1 mark) 1. Do not touch the coil as it is hot / Use gloves when removing the coil. 2. Switch off the circuit when not in use to avoid over heating of coil.
