Q1MEDIUMPaper 1energy transfer, $P \propto A^{2}$能量传递与 $P \propto A^{2}$[4 marks]

A cork bobs as a water wave of amplitude $4.0\ \mathrm{cm}$ passes. (a) net horizontal displacement and what is transported; (b) factor by which power changes when amplitude is doubled.软木塞随一列振幅 $4.0\ \mathrm{cm}$ 的水波起伏。(a) 净水平位移与所传输之物;(b) 振幅加倍时功率的变化倍数。

Answers:答案:  (a) net displacement $\approx 0$; energy (and momentum) is transported净位移 $\approx 0$;传输的是能量(与动量)  ·  (b) power increases by a factor of $4$功率变为 $4$ 倍

(a) Net displacement and what is transported A1·A1

In a travelling wave each particle of the medium oscillates about a fixed equilibrium and does not migrate with the wave, so the net horizontal displacement of the cork is essentially zero. (A1)

What crosses the pond is energy (and momentum), not water: this transfer of energy without net transfer of matter is the defining property of a travelling wave. (A1)

(b) Effect of doubling the amplitude M1·A1

The power carried by a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude, $P \propto A^{2}$. (M1)

Doubling $A$ multiplies the power by $2^{2} = 4$, so the wave carries four times the power. (A1)

Insight. The cork is a marker for a single particle, and the examiner wants the contrast stated explicitly: the particle returns to its mean position while energy keeps moving forward. The $P \propto A^{2}$ relation is the reason a louder sound or a brighter light corresponds to a larger amplitude, and the squared dependence is the trap, since many students answer "twice the power" by reading the relation as linear.

(a) 净位移与所传输之物 A1·A1

行波中介质的每个质点绕固定平衡位置振动,不随波迁移,故软木塞的净水平位移本质上为零。(A1)

横跨池塘的是能量(与动量),不是水:这种传递能量而无物质净传递正是行波的定义性质。(A1)

(b) 振幅加倍的效应 M1·A1

波所携带的功率与振幅平方成正比,$P \propto A^{2}$。(M1)

$A$ 加倍使功率乘以 $2^{2} = 4$,故波携带的功率为四倍。(A1)

要点。软木塞标记单个质点,阅卷要求明确陈述对比:质点回到平均位置,而能量持续向前。$P \propto A^{2}$ 正是更响的声或更亮的光对应更大振幅的原因,而平方依赖关系就是陷阱,许多学生把它当作线性而答成"功率两倍"。
Q2MEDIUMPaper 1transverse vs longitudinal, polarisation横波与纵波、偏振[6 marks]

A loudspeaker cone vibrates along the line toward a listener. (a) classify the sound; (b) describe air molecules at compression and rarefaction; (c) a second wave can be polarised, so classify it and explain.扬声器纸盆沿指向听者的方向振动。(a) 对声波分类;(b) 描述压缩与稀疏处的空气分子;(c) 另一列波可被偏振,分类并解释。

Answers:答案:  (a) longitudinal纵波  ·  (b) compression: molecules bunched (high pressure); rarefaction: spread out (low pressure)压缩:分子密集(高压);稀疏:分子散开(低压)  ·  (c) transverse横波

(a) Classify the sound wave M1·A1

The air molecules oscillate along the same line that the energy travels, that is, the particle oscillation is parallel to the direction of energy transfer. (M1)

A wave with parallel oscillation is longitudinal, so the sound is a longitudinal wave. (A1)

(b) Compression and rarefaction A1·A1

At a compression the air molecules are bunched together, giving locally high pressure and density. (A1)

At a rarefaction the molecules are spread apart, giving locally low pressure and density; each molecule merely oscillates about its own mean position. (A1)

(c) The wave that can be polarised A1·R1

Polarisation restricts the oscillation to a single plane, which is only possible when the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of travel. (R1)

Only a transverse wave has perpendicular oscillation, so a wave that can be polarised must be transverse. (A1)

Insight. Classification marks are won by naming the comparison, not just the label: state "particle oscillation parallel to energy transfer, therefore longitudinal". Polarisation is the cleanest single test that separates the two families, because reflection, refraction and energy transfer all occur for both transverse and longitudinal waves and so cannot decide the type.

(a) 对声波分类 M1·A1

空气分子沿能量传播的同一方向振动,即质点振动方向与能量传递方向平行。(M1)

平行振动的波是纵波,故该声波为纵波。(A1)

(b) 压缩与稀疏 A1·A1

压缩处空气分子密集聚集,局部高压、高密度。(A1)

稀疏处分子彼此散开,局部低压、低密度;每个分子只绕自身平均位置振动。(A1)

(c) 可被偏振的波 A1·R1

偏振将振动限制在单一平面内,只有当振动垂直于传播方向时才可能。(R1)

只有横波具有垂直振动,故可被偏振的波必为横波。(A1)

要点。分类分靠点明对比而非仅给标签:应写"质点振动平行于能量传递,故为纵波"。偏振是区分两类波最干净的单一判据,因为反射、折射与能量传递在横波与纵波中都会发生,无法据以判定类型。
Q3MEDIUMPaper 1wave equation $v = f\lambda$, medium change波动方程 $v = f\lambda$ 与换介质[6 marks]

Sound in air: $f = 512\ \mathrm{Hz}$, $v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (a) wavelength; (b) period; (c) what happens to $f$ and $\lambda$ on entering water where the sound is faster.空气中声波:$f = 512\ \mathrm{Hz}$、$v = 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(a) 波长;(b) 周期;(c) 进入声速更快的水中后 $f$ 与 $\lambda$ 如何变化。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\lambda \approx 0.66\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (b) $T \approx 2.0\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s}$  ·  (c) $f$ unchanged, $\lambda$ increases$f$ 不变,$\lambda$ 增大

(a) Wavelength M1·A1

Rearrange the wave equation $v = f\lambda$ for $\lambda$: (M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} = \frac{340}{512} \approx 0.664\ \mathrm{m} \approx 0.66\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(b) Period M1·A1

Period is the reciprocal of frequency, $T = 1/f$: (M1)

$$ T = \frac{1}{512} \approx 1.95\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s} \approx 2.0\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s}. $$

(A1)

(c) Entering water A1·R1

Frequency is fixed by the source and does not change when the medium changes, so $f$ stays at $512\ \mathrm{Hz}$. (A1)

From $v = f\lambda$ with $f$ constant, an increase in $v$ forces a proportional increase in $\lambda$, so the wavelength increases. (R1)

Insight. The reflex "halve the speed, halve everything" loses marks. The source sets the frequency, so $f$ is the invariant across a boundary; $v$ is set by the medium, and $\lambda$ then follows $v$ through $v = f\lambda$. Whenever a wave changes medium, hold $f$ fixed and let $v$ and $\lambda$ move together.

(a) 波长 M1·A1

由波动方程 $v = f\lambda$ 解出 $\lambda$:(M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} = \frac{340}{512} \approx 0.664\ \mathrm{m} \approx 0.66\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(b) 周期 M1·A1

周期是频率的倒数,$T = 1/f$:(M1)

$$ T = \frac{1}{512} \approx 1.95\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s} \approx 2.0\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s}. $$

(A1)

(c) 进入水中 A1·R1

频率由波源决定,换介质时不变,故 $f$ 保持 $512\ \mathrm{Hz}$。(A1)

由 $v = f\lambda$ 且 $f$ 不变,$v$ 增大使 $\lambda$ 成比例增大,故波长增大。(R1)

要点。"速度减半就全部减半"的条件反射会失分。波源决定频率,故 $f$ 是跨边界的不变量;$v$ 由介质决定,$\lambda$ 再经 $v = f\lambda$ 随 $v$ 变化。波每次换介质,都让 $f$ 固定,使 $v$ 与 $\lambda$ 一起变。
Q4HARDPaper 1wavefronts and rays波前与射线[6 marks]

Ripple tank: circular wavefronts from an $8.0\ \mathrm{Hz}$ point source, adjacent crest wavefronts $2.5\ \mathrm{cm}$ apart. (a) wavelength; (b) speed; (c) ray-wavefront angle and what a ray is; (d) how wavefronts and rays change far from the source.水波槽:$8.0\ \mathrm{Hz}$ 点波源的圆形波前,相邻波峰波前相距 $2.5\ \mathrm{cm}$。(a) 波长;(b) 波速;(c) 射线与波前夹角及射线含义;(d) 远离波源处波前与射线如何变化。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\lambda = 0.025\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (b) $v = 0.20\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (c) $90^{\circ}$ (ray = direction of energy flow)(射线 = 能量流动方向)  ·  (d) wavefronts become straight, rays parallel波前变直,射线平行

(a) Wavelength A1

Adjacent crest wavefronts join points one full cycle apart, so they are separated by exactly one wavelength: $\lambda = 2.5\ \mathrm{cm} = 0.025\ \mathrm{m}$. (A1)

(b) Wave speed M1·A1

Apply the wave equation $v = f\lambda$: (M1)

$$ v = f\lambda = 8.0 \times 0.025 = 0.20\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(c) Ray and wavefront A1

A ray shows the direction of energy propagation and is by definition perpendicular to the wavefront, so the angle between them is $90^{\circ}$. (A1)

(d) Far from the source A1·A1

Close to a point source the wavefronts are tightly curved circles and the rays fan out radially. (A1)

Far from the source only a small portion of each circle is seen, so the wavefronts become essentially straight (plane) and the rays become essentially parallel. (A1)

Insight. Counting wavelengths from a wavefront diagram is a recurring Paper 1 skill: adjacent in-phase wavefronts are always one $\lambda$ apart, never half. The flattening of distant wavefronts into plane waves is exactly why sunlight reaching the Earth is treated as parallel rays; the same geometry underlies the plane-wave approximation used throughout the later wave units.

(a) 波长 A1

相邻波峰波前连接相差一个完整周期的点,故相距恰好一个波长:$\lambda = 2.5\ \mathrm{cm} = 0.025\ \mathrm{m}$。(A1)

(b) 波速 M1·A1

用波动方程 $v = f\lambda$:(M1)

$$ v = f\lambda = 8.0 \times 0.025 = 0.20\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(c) 射线与波前 A1

射线表示能量传播方向,按定义垂直于波前,故两者夹角为 $90^{\circ}$。(A1)

(d) 远离波源处 A1·A1

靠近点波源处波前是弯曲很紧的圆,射线呈放射状散开。(A1)

远离波源处只看到每个圆的一小段,故波前趋于直线(平面),射线趋于平行。(A1)

要点。从波前图数波长是 Paper 1 反复出现的技能:相邻同相波前总是相距一个 $\lambda$,绝非半个。远处波前变平为平面波,正是把到达地球的阳光当作平行射线处理的原因;同一几何关系支撑了后续波动单元中常用的平面波近似。
Q5HARDPaper 1electromagnetic spectrum电磁波谱[8 marks]

EM spectrum from radio to gamma. (a) list seven bands by increasing frequency; (b) frequency of red light $\lambda = 6.5\times10^{-7}\ \mathrm{m}$; (c) compare X-ray and red-light vacuum speed, plus two shared EM properties.电磁波谱从无线电到伽马。(a) 按频率递增列出七个波段;(b) 红光 $\lambda = 6.5\times10^{-7}\ \mathrm{m}$ 的频率;(c) X 射线与红光真空速度比较,及电磁波两条共有性质。

Answers:答案:  (a) radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma无线电、微波、红外、可见光、紫外、X 射线、伽马  ·  (b) $f \approx 4.6\times10^{14}\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (c) same speed $c$; both transverse and polarisable速度都是 $c$;都是横波且可偏振

(a) The spectrum by increasing frequency A1·A1

Frequency increases (and wavelength decreases) in the order: radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma. (A1 for the correct ends radio and gamma, A1 for the full correct order between them)

(b) Frequency of red light M1·M1·A1

In vacuum every EM wave travels at $c$, so use $c = f\lambda$ rearranged for $f$: (M1)

$$ f = \frac{c}{\lambda} = \frac{3.00\times10^{8}}{6.5\times10^{-7}}. $$

(M1 for substitution)

$$ f \approx 4.6\times10^{14}\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) Comparison and shared properties A1·A1·A1

X-rays and red light travel at exactly the same vacuum speed $c = 3.00\times10^{8}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$; they differ only in frequency and wavelength. (A1)

Two further shared properties: all EM waves are transverse (A1) and all can be polarised. (A1)

Insight. The single fact that unlocks most EM-spectrum questions is that the vacuum speed is the same $c$ for every band, so the bands differ only through $c = f\lambda$: higher frequency means shorter wavelength, full stop. A common slip is to claim gamma rays travel faster because they are "more energetic"; energy rises with frequency, but speed in vacuum does not change at all.

(a) 按频率递增的波谱 A1·A1

频率递增(波长递减)的顺序为:无线电、微波、红外、可见光、紫外、X 射线、伽马。(两端无线电与伽马正确得 A1,中间完整顺序正确得 A1)

(b) 红光频率 M1·M1·A1

真空中每列电磁波都以 $c$ 传播,故用 $c = f\lambda$ 解出 $f$:(M1)

$$ f = \frac{c}{\lambda} = \frac{3.00\times10^{8}}{6.5\times10^{-7}}. $$

(代入得 M1)

$$ f \approx 4.6\times10^{14}\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(c) 比较与共有性质 A1·A1·A1

X 射线与红光在真空中速度完全相同,$c = 3.00\times10^{8}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$;二者只在频率与波长上不同。(A1)

另外两条共有性质:所有电磁波都是横波 (A1),且都可被偏振。(A1)

要点。解开多数电磁波谱题的关键事实是:每个波段在真空中的速度都是同一个 $c$,故波段只通过 $c = f\lambda$ 相区别:频率越高、波长越短,仅此而已。常见错误是声称伽马射线因"能量更高"而传播更快;能量随频率升高,但真空中速度根本不变。

Q6HARDPaper 1Bdisplacement-distance vs displacement-time graphs位移-距离图与位移-时间图[12 marks]

One wave, two graphs: Graph 1 displacement-distance (repeat $0.80\ \mathrm{m}$), Graph 2 displacement-time (repeat $0.025\ \mathrm{s}$), peak displacement $3.0\ \mathrm{cm}$. (a) which graph gives $\lambda$, which gives $T$; (b) amplitude and wavelength; (c) frequency; (d) speed; (e) up or down for a particle on the leading edge of a crest; (f) error in reading $0.80$ as the period.同一列波,两张图:图 1 位移-距离(重复 $0.80\ \mathrm{m}$),图 2 位移-时间(重复 $0.025\ \mathrm{s}$),峰值位移 $3.0\ \mathrm{cm}$。(a) 哪张图给 $\lambda$、哪张给 $T$;(b) 振幅与波长;(c) 频率;(d) 波速;(e) 波峰前缘质点向上还是向下;(f) 把 $0.80$ 读为周期的错误。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\lambda$ from Graph 1 (distance axis), $T$ from Graph 2 (time axis)$\lambda$ 来自图 1(距离轴),$T$ 来自图 2(时间轴)  ·  (b) $A = 3.0\ \mathrm{cm}$, $\lambda = 0.80\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (c) $f = 40\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (d) $v = 32\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (e) moving up向上运动  ·  (f) $0.80$ is the wavelength, not the period$0.80$ 是波长,不是周期

(a) Which graph gives which quantity A1·A1

The wavelength is a distance, so it is read from Graph 1, whose horizontal axis is distance $x$. (A1)

The period is a time, so it is read from Graph 2, whose horizontal axis is time $t$. (A1)

(b) Amplitude and wavelength A1·A1

The amplitude is the peak displacement, the same on both graphs: $A = 3.0\ \mathrm{cm} = 0.030\ \mathrm{m}$. (A1)

The wavelength is the repeat length on the distance graph: $\lambda = 0.80\ \mathrm{m}$. (A1)

(c) Frequency M1·A1

The period from the time graph is $T = 0.025\ \mathrm{s}$, so $f = 1/T$: (M1)

$$ f = \frac{1}{0.025} = 40\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(d) Wave speed M1·A1

Combine the two readings through $v = f\lambda$: (M1)

$$ v = f\lambda = 40 \times 0.80 = 32\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(e) Direction of the particle M1·A1

Shift the whole snapshot a small amount in the direction of travel (increasing $x$). The crest moves toward the particle on its leading edge, so the displacement that arrives at the particle's position is larger than now. (M1)

The particle therefore moves up next. (A1)

(f) The reading error A1·R1

The value $0.80$ is read off the distance axis of Graph 1, so it is the wavelength $\lambda = 0.80\ \mathrm{m}$, not the period. (A1)

The period must be read off a time axis (Graph 2), where the repeat is $0.025\ \mathrm{s}$; recording a distance as a time mixes up the two graphs. (R1)

Insight. The two sinusoids are visually identical, so the only safe move is to read the horizontal-axis label first: distance gives $\lambda$, time gives $T$. For the direction-of-motion trick, sliding the waveform a hair in the travel direction tells you where each particle goes next, which is faster and less error-prone than memorising rules about "front" and "back" of a crest.

(a) 哪张图给哪个量 A1·A1

波长是距离量,故从横轴为距离 $x$ 的图 1 读取。(A1)

周期是时间量,故从横轴为时间 $t$ 的图 2 读取。(A1)

(b) 振幅与波长 A1·A1

振幅是峰值位移,两图相同:$A = 3.0\ \mathrm{cm} = 0.030\ \mathrm{m}$。(A1)

波长是距离图上的重复长度:$\lambda = 0.80\ \mathrm{m}$。(A1)

(c) 频率 M1·A1

由时间图得周期 $T = 0.025\ \mathrm{s}$,故 $f = 1/T$:(M1)

$$ f = \frac{1}{0.025} = 40\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(d) 波速 M1·A1

用 $v = f\lambda$ 合并两读数:(M1)

$$ v = f\lambda = 40 \times 0.80 = 32\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(e) 质点的运动方向 M1·A1

将整张快照沿传播方向($x$ 增大)微移一点。波峰向其前缘的质点靠近,故到达该质点位置的位移比现在更大。(M1)

因此该质点下一刻向上运动。(A1)

(f) 读数错误 A1·R1

$0.80$ 读自图 1 的距离轴,故它是波长 $\lambda = 0.80\ \mathrm{m}$,不是周期。(A1)

周期必须从时间轴(图 2)读取,那里的重复为 $0.025\ \mathrm{s}$;把距离记作时间就是混淆了两张图。(R1)

要点。两条正弦曲线在视觉上完全相同,唯一稳妥的做法是先读横轴标签:距离给 $\lambda$,时间给 $T$。对于判断运动方向的技巧,把波形沿传播方向微移一丝即可知每个质点下一刻去向,比记"波峰前后"的规则更快也更不易错。
Q7HARDPaper 1Bripple-tank data + uncertainty水波槽数据与不确定度[10 marks]

Ripple tank: $5$ wavelengths span $(12.0 \pm 0.2)\ \mathrm{cm}$; dipper does $20$ oscillations in $8.0\ \mathrm{s}$. (a) wavelength and why dividing by $5$ helps; (b) period and frequency; (c) speed; (d) percentage uncertainty in the span.水波槽:$5$ 个波长跨 $(12.0 \pm 0.2)\ \mathrm{cm}$;振子 $8.0\ \mathrm{s}$ 内振动 $20$ 次。(a) 波长及为何除以 $5$ 有帮助;(b) 周期与频率;(c) 波速;(d) 跨距的百分比不确定度。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\lambda = 0.024\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (b) $T = 0.40\ \mathrm{s}$, $f = 2.5\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (c) $v = 0.060\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$  ·  (d) $\approx 2\%$

(a) Wavelength M1·A1·R1

The span covers $5$ complete wavelengths, so divide the total by $5$: (M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{12.0\ \mathrm{cm}}{5} = 2.40\ \mathrm{cm} = 0.024\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

Measuring across many wavelengths and dividing spreads the fixed ruler-reading uncertainty over a larger length, reducing the percentage uncertainty in $\lambda$. (R1)

(b) Period and frequency M1·A1

The period is the time for one oscillation: $T = 8.0/20 = 0.40\ \mathrm{s}$, hence $f = 1/T = 2.5\ \mathrm{Hz}$. (M1·A1)

(c) Wave speed M1·A1

Apply $v = f\lambda$: (M1)

$$ v = f\lambda = 2.5 \times 0.024 = 0.060\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(d) Percentage uncertainty M1·A1·B1

The span is $12.0\ \mathrm{cm}$ with absolute uncertainty $\pm 0.2\ \mathrm{cm}$: (M1)

$$ \frac{0.2}{12.0}\times 100\% \approx 1.67\% \approx 2\%. $$

(A1)

Dividing the span by the exact count $5$ does not change the percentage uncertainty, so the wavelength carries the same $\approx 2\%$. (B1)

Insight. Measuring $N$ wavelengths and dividing is the standard precision trick: the absolute ruler uncertainty stays roughly fixed, so spanning a longer distance shrinks its percentage share, and dividing by the exact integer count leaves that percentage untouched. The examiner expects the uncertainty quoted to one significant figure with the value rounded to match.

(a) 波长 M1·A1·R1

跨距包含 $5$ 个完整波长,故将总长除以 $5$:(M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{12.0\ \mathrm{cm}}{5} = 2.40\ \mathrm{cm} = 0.024\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

跨越多个波长再相除,把固定的尺读不确定度摊到更长的距离上,从而降低 $\lambda$ 的百分比不确定度。(R1)

(b) 周期与频率 M1·A1

周期是一次振动的时间:$T = 8.0/20 = 0.40\ \mathrm{s}$,故 $f = 1/T = 2.5\ \mathrm{Hz}$。(M1·A1)

(c) 波速 M1·A1

用 $v = f\lambda$:(M1)

$$ v = f\lambda = 2.5 \times 0.024 = 0.060\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. $$

(A1)

(d) 百分比不确定度 M1·A1·B1

跨距为 $12.0\ \mathrm{cm}$,绝对不确定度 $\pm 0.2\ \mathrm{cm}$:(M1)

$$ \frac{0.2}{12.0}\times 100\% \approx 1.67\% \approx 2\%. $$

(A1)

将跨距除以精确计数 $5$ 不改变百分比不确定度,故波长同样带 $\approx 2\%$。(B1)

要点。测 $N$ 个波长再相除是标准的提精技巧:绝对尺读不确定度大致固定,跨越更长距离即缩小其百分比占比,而除以精确整数计数不改变该百分比。阅卷要求不确定度保留 1 位有效数字,并使数值末位与之对齐。

(a) two properties from being mechanical longitudinal; (b) wavelength of a $256\ \mathrm{Hz}$ note; (c) distance to a lightning strike heard $6.0\ \mathrm{s}$ after seen; (d) distance to a cliff giving an echo after $1.5\ \mathrm{s}$; (e) why lightning is seen before thunder is heard.声速 $\approx 340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$,光速 $c$。(a) 因机械纵波而有的两条性质;(b) $256\ \mathrm{Hz}$ 音的波长;(c) 看到后 $6.0\ \mathrm{s}$ 听到雷声的雷击距离;(d) $1.5\ \mathrm{s}$ 后听到回声的峭壁距离;(e) 为何先见闪电后闻雷声。

Answers:答案:  (b) $\lambda \approx 1.3\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (c) $\approx 2.0\ \mathrm{km}$  ·  (d) $\approx 255\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (e) light is EM (needs no medium, speed $c$); sound is mechanical and far slower光是电磁波(无需介质,速度 $c$);声是机械波且慢得多

(a) Properties of a mechanical longitudinal wave A1·A1

It needs a material medium to travel, so it cannot pass through a vacuum. (A1)

Its particles oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transfer, forming compressions and rarefactions, and it cannot be polarised. (A1)

(b) Wavelength of the $256\ \mathrm{Hz}$ note M1·M1·A1

Use the wave equation $v = f\lambda$ rearranged for $\lambda$: (M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} = \frac{340}{256}. $$

(M1 for substitution)

$$ \lambda \approx 1.33\ \mathrm{m} \approx 1.3\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(c) Distance to the strike M1·A1·R1

Assume the light reaches the observer effectively instantly (the light travel time is negligible because $c$ is enormous), so the $6.0\ \mathrm{s}$ delay is the time for the sound to travel. (R1)

Distance $= v_{\text{sound}} \times t = 340 \times 6.0$: (M1)

$$ d = 2040\ \mathrm{m} \approx 2.0\ \mathrm{km}. $$

(d) Distance to the cliff M1·M1·A1

The echo travels to the cliff and back, a total path of $2d$, in $1.5\ \mathrm{s}$: $2d = v_{\text{sound}} \times t$. (M1)

$$ d = \frac{v_{\text{sound}}\, t}{2} = \frac{340 \times 1.5}{2}. $$

(M1 for halving the round trip)

$$ d = 255\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(e) Why lightning is seen first M1·A1·R1

Light is an electromagnetic wave; it needs no medium and travels at $c = 3.00\times10^{8}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$, so it arrives almost instantly. (M1)

Sound is a mechanical wave that needs the air and travels at only about $340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (A1)

Because the speeds differ by a factor of nearly a million, the sound lags far behind the light, and the delay (about $3\ \mathrm{s}$ per kilometre) measures the distance. (R1)

Insight. Echo problems hinge on the out-and-back path: the sound covers $2d$, so always halve before solving. The thunder estimate works only because the light-travel time is negligible against $c$; stating that assumption explicitly earns the reasoning mark. The lightning-thunder contrast is the IB's favourite way to test "EM needs no medium and travels at $c$" against "sound is mechanical and slow".

(a) 机械纵波的性质 A1·A1

它需要物质介质才能传播,故不能穿过真空。(A1)

其质点平行于能量传递方向振动,形成压缩与稀疏,且不能被偏振。(A1)

(b) $256\ \mathrm{Hz}$ 音的波长 M1·M1·A1

由波动方程 $v = f\lambda$ 解出 $\lambda$:(M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} = \frac{340}{256}. $$

(代入得 M1)

$$ \lambda \approx 1.33\ \mathrm{m} \approx 1.3\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(c) 到雷击处的距离 M1·A1·R1

假设光实际上瞬间到达观察者(因 $c$ 极大,光传播时间可忽略),故 $6.0\ \mathrm{s}$ 延迟即声音传播所用时间。(R1)

距离 $= v_{\text{sound}} \times t = 340 \times 6.0$:(M1)

$$ d = 2040\ \mathrm{m} \approx 2.0\ \mathrm{km}. $$

(A1)

(d) 到峭壁的距离 M1·M1·A1

回声到峭壁再返回,总路程为 $2d$,用时 $1.5\ \mathrm{s}$:$2d = v_{\text{sound}} \times t$。(M1)

$$ d = \frac{v_{\text{sound}}\, t}{2} = \frac{340 \times 1.5}{2}. $$

(往返折半得 M1)

$$ d = 255\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(e) 为何先见闪电 M1·A1·R1

光是电磁波;无需介质,以 $c = 3.00\times10^{8}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 传播,故几乎瞬间到达。(M1)

声是机械波,需要空气,速度仅约 $340\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$。(A1)

由于两者速度相差近百万倍,声音远落后于光,且延迟(每千米约 $3\ \mathrm{s}$)可量出距离。(R1)

要点。回声题关键在往返路程:声音走 $2d$,故求解前务必折半。雷声估算成立只因光传播时间相对 $c$ 可忽略;明确写出该假设可得推理分。闪电与雷声的对比是 IB 最爱用来检验"电磁波无需介质且以 $c$ 传播"对"声波是机械波且慢"的题型。

All EM waves obey $c = f\lambda$ in vacuum. (a) frequency of a $0.12\ \mathrm{m}$ radar microwave; (b) its wavelength in a block where $v = 2.00\times10^{8}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$; (c) wavelength of a $98\ \mathrm{MHz}$ FM wave and its band; (d) same vacuum speed plus two shared properties; (e) why sound is not in the EM spectrum.所有电磁波在真空中遵循 $c = f\lambda$。(a) $0.12\ \mathrm{m}$ 雷达微波的频率;(b) 在 $v = 2.00\times10^{8}\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$ 介质块中的波长;(c) $98\ \mathrm{MHz}$ FM 波的波长与波段;(d) 真空速度相同及两条共有性质;(e) 为何声音不属电磁波谱。

Answers:答案:  (a) $f = 2.5\times10^{9}\ \mathrm{Hz}$  ·  (b) $\lambda \approx 0.080\ \mathrm{m}$  ·  (c) $\lambda \approx 3.1\ \mathrm{m}$ (radio)(无线电)  ·  (d) yes, same $c$; transverse and polarisable是,同为 $c$;横波且可偏振  ·  (e) sound is a mechanical longitudinal wave声是机械纵波

(a) Frequency of the microwave M1·M1·A1

In vacuum the microwave travels at $c$, so rearrange $c = f\lambda$ for $f$: (M1)

$$ f = \frac{c}{\lambda} = \frac{3.00\times10^{8}}{0.12}. $$

(M1 for substitution)

$$ f = 2.5\times10^{9}\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) Wavelength in the block M1·A1·R1

The source sets the frequency, so $f = 2.5\times10^{9}\ \mathrm{Hz}$ is unchanged inside the block; only $v$ and $\lambda$ change. (R1)

Apply $\lambda = v/f$ with the reduced speed: (M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} = \frac{2.00\times10^{8}}{2.5\times10^{9}} = 0.080\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(c) FM radio wavelength and band M1·A1·A1

With $f = 98\ \mathrm{MHz} = 98\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{Hz}$, use $\lambda = c/f$: (M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{3.00\times10^{8}}{98\times10^{6}} \approx 3.06\ \mathrm{m} \approx 3.1\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

A wavelength of a few metres lies in the radio band of the spectrum. (A1)

(d) Speed and shared properties A1·A1·A1

Yes: both the radar microwave and the FM radio wave are electromagnetic, so both travel at exactly $c$ in vacuum. (A1)

Two further shared properties: both are transverse (A1) and both can be polarised. (A1)

(e) Why sound is not electromagnetic A1·R1

Sound is a mechanical longitudinal wave that requires a material medium and travels far slower than $c$. (A1)

The electromagnetic spectrum consists only of transverse oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that propagate through a vacuum at $c$, so sound cannot belong to it. (R1)

Insight. The recurring boundary-crossing rule is the whole of part (b): frequency is the invariant, set by the source, while $v$ and $\lambda$ both respond to the medium. A neat check is that the wave slows by the same factor the wavelength shrinks, here both by $\tfrac{2}{3}$. Part (e) is pure definition, and the marks go to the two contrasts: mechanical vs field oscillation, and needs a medium vs propagates in vacuum.

(a) 微波的频率 M1·M1·A1

真空中微波以 $c$ 传播,故由 $c = f\lambda$ 解出 $f$:(M1)

$$ f = \frac{c}{\lambda} = \frac{3.00\times10^{8}}{0.12}. $$

(代入得 M1)

$$ f = 2.5\times10^{9}\ \mathrm{Hz}. $$

(A1)

(b) 介质块中的波长 M1·A1·R1

波源决定频率,故进入介质块后 $f = 2.5\times10^{9}\ \mathrm{Hz}$ 不变;只有 $v$ 与 $\lambda$ 改变。(R1)

用减小的速度代入 $\lambda = v/f$:(M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} = \frac{2.00\times10^{8}}{2.5\times10^{9}} = 0.080\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

(c) FM 无线电波长与波段 M1·A1·A1

取 $f = 98\ \mathrm{MHz} = 98\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{Hz}$,用 $\lambda = c/f$:(M1)

$$ \lambda = \frac{3.00\times10^{8}}{98\times10^{6}} \approx 3.06\ \mathrm{m} \approx 3.1\ \mathrm{m}. $$

(A1)

几米的波长落在波谱的无线电波段。(A1)

(d) 速度与共有性质 A1·A1·A1

是:雷达微波与 FM 无线电波都是电磁波,故在真空中都恰以 $c$ 传播。(A1)

另外两条共有性质:两者都是横波 (A1),且都可被偏振。(A1)

(e) 为何声音不是电磁波 A1·R1

声音是机械纵波,需要物质介质,且速度远小于 $c$。(A1)

电磁波谱只由在真空中以 $c$ 传播的电场与磁场的横向振荡组成,故声音不可能属于它。(R1)

要点。反复出现的跨边界规则就是 (b) 的全部:频率是不变量,由波源决定,而 $v$ 与 $\lambda$ 都随介质响应。一个简洁的检验是波速缩小的倍数与波长缩小的倍数相同,此处都为 $\tfrac{2}{3}$。(e) 纯属定义,分数落在两条对比上:机械振动对场振荡,以及需要介质对在真空中传播。
