The figure below shows a ripple tank.
The wooden bar vibrates up and down producing waves on the water.
The light source produces shadows of the water waves on the screen.
A student measured the frequency and wavelength of the waves produced.
The table below shows some of the results.
Reading | 1 | 2 | 3 | Mean |
Frequency in hertz | 12.8 | 12.4 | 12.3 | X |
Calculate value X in the table above.
Why is it a good idea to take repeat readings and then calculate a mean?
The student changed the frequency of the waves in the ripple tank to 20 Hz.
Calculate the period of the waves.
Use the equation:
At a frequency of 20 Hz the wavelength of the waves was 0.012 m.
Calculate the wave speed.
Use the equation:
wave speed = frequency × wavelength

Food colouring can be used to change the colour of water.
A student investigated how the colour of water affects the time taken for the
water to cool.
This is the method used.
1. Put 200 cm3 of hot water into a conical flask.
2. Add four drops of food colouring to the water.
3. Place a digital thermometer in the water.
4. Start a timer when the temperature of the water is 80.0 °C.
5. Record the time taken for the water to cool to 65.0 °C.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 using different colours of food colouring.

What equipment should have been used to make sure 200 cm3 of water was put in the conical flask?
The student also tested water with no food colouring.
The temperature of the water changed from 80.0 °C to 65.0 °C in a time of 5.0 minutes.
Calculate the change in temperature
The student also tested water with no food colouring.
The temperature of the water changed from 80.0 °C to 65.0 °C in a time of 5.0 minutes.
Calculate the average rate of change of temperature of the water.
Use the equation:
average rate of change of temperature = change in temperature / time taken
Complete Figure 4.
You should:
• label the y-axis
• add a scale to the y-axis
• draw bars for the green water and the violet water.
Use the 'T' tool to type and the shapes tool to be precise
In the visible spectrum, orange light is between red light and yellow light.
Estimate the rate of change of temperature if orange food colouring was used.
Use Table 1.
Estimated rate of change of temperature =
The results show that the colour of the water affects the rate at which the __________________ water emits .
The water in each conical flask cools down because the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the water transfers ______________.
