Grade description:
Grade F-G
Complete this
diagram showing the
path of the ray of light.
Grade C continued
Calculate the wavespeed, in cm/s.
Speed = frequency x wavelength
......................................................................................................
You need to show the
direction of the wave
as well.

Grade A*-B
The diagram shows water waves in a ripple tank moving towards a
gap in a barrier. The water waves diffract as they pass through the
gap. Complete the diagram to show the diffracted water waves.
Grade D-E
What is the
wavelength of this
wave?
