who has started past papers for this?


Me, and they are hard!!!

:no: Doubt it since I struggled! How's G482 going? :smile:


didn't you get your results in march for G481 Jan 13?

Noo :tongue: I sat G482 in Jan and got that result in March. But I sat Jan 13 G481 as a mock instead.

146/150 :smile:


Hey, can I ask what raw mark you got out of 100 ? :/

Very interested to know what sort of marks gets the higher ums...

how's everyone's revision going? less than a month left till the exam :frown:

are there any techniques any of you use?

Does anyone know if we need to be able to describe and explain the experiment with the tuning forks to determine the speed of sound?


Yes you have to well it is quite hard because you got to understand the elimination of errors

So you must use a turning fork with a give frequency

Using a open open tube place in a long beaker of water and hit the tuning force to create a sound wave ! This wave will travel through the open end and get reflected by the surface and super poses to create an anti node and a node of the water try to find a resonance sound hence you first harmonic (fundamental) using open closed standing we know that the fundamental is always λ/4 therefore we can calculate wave length by looking at the water level and x it 4 therefore using v=lambda x freq you calculate speed of sound


Repeat for the 3rd harmonic since you can't have the second harmonic therefore you gain a water level reading and use v=lambda x freq

finally the speed of sound is not actually accurate since the wave starts from out of the tube hence "c" correction factor so we solve simultaneously

λ/4 + l1 = C
3/4 λ + l2 =C

FIND C AND THEN PLUS IT TO THE LENGTH AND THEN CALCULATE AGAIN USING V=Fλ TO GET THE SPEED OF LIGHT BLIIIIIIMMMMMMYYYY !!!! HOOOPE THAT HELPED ALL FROM MY BRAIN ( FLASHCARDS ARE THE BEST WAY TO REMEMBER)

In harmonics, how does the waves get reflected if the tubes are open at both ends?

I like this question you've just gotta think about it logically.
You know that: dd sin⁡θ\sin \theta = n n λ\lambda

From this you can see that the higher the angle, the higher the value of sin theta, hence the higher the wavelength since d and n would remain the same.

Therefore 12 degrees is for the color with the higher wavelength and 7 degrees is for the color with the shorter wavelength. Now the color can only be either Red or Violet as they are at the two extreme ends (ROYGBIV) since it's the first order spectrum. So which out of Red or Violet has the higher wavelength? :smile:

That makes more sense. Is it always red or violet or will we have to know the wavelength of other colours?

]To produce two rays light is shone through a pair of parallel slits. The light is diffracted by the slits where it falls on a screen beyond the slits, light and dark interference fringes are seen. This is what we call the Young's double slit experiment.

There are usually two slits hence why its known as the double slit experiment, as the light passes through each slit, it spreads into the space beyond (diffraction)

Bright fringes are constructive interference (two waves in phase) and dark fringes are destructive interference where the light cancels each other out (out of phase)

# increasing the slit to screen distance makes the light fringes on the screen wider but DIMMER.

The question says first order so it would be the first two outer colours, if it said second order it would be the next set of order colours and so on... (I think they only ever ask first though). No you don't have to know the wavelengths of over colours, but you know that red has a lower frequency than violet hence a higher wavelength.
