3(a) Light is reflected from the back or silvered surface of the mirror. 1
(b) Normal drawn correctly, perpendicular to the line ABC at the point
B.
Angle of incidence correctly drawn as 35° 1
(c) & (d) Initial angle of reflection and position of the line XY correct on the
diagram. 1
(e) Position of new reflected ray judged to be correct by eye. 1
(f) Correct value 50°. A value between 47° and 53° is acceptable. 1
4(a), (b) & Check that the metre rule is vertical either by aligning it with a
(c) vertical door or window frame / by using a set square against a
horizontal bench. 1
Candidates should state how parallax is avoided i.e. by keeping the
eye level with the bottom of the length of rubber or by using a set
square against the vertical rule 1
h and h0 recorded to the nearest mm and e found by subtraction. 1
(d) Results tabulated with quantities and units in the headings of the
table including values of h, e and W. All W values should be in
newtons
e.g. a mass of 50 g (= 0.050 kg) has a weight W of 0.5 N. 1
This experiment should produce a curve whose gradient is
increasing with increasing force. Six points within 2 mm of curve 1
mark, eight points 2 marks. 1
(e) The axes of the graph labelled with the appropriate quantity and
units e.g. extension/mm and force/N. The scale not based on 3, 7, 11
etc.
Data plotted fills more than half the page in either direction. 1
Points plotted carefully with smooth neat curve drawn. 1
(f) The extension when the plasticene is suspended from the paper clip
should be determined. 1
The line on the graph should then be used to determine the
corresponding weight WP of plasticene. 1
Supervisors provided a mass of 55 g of plasticene. This would have
a weight of 0.54 N. Weight in the range 0.49 N to 0.59 N 1
(g) When the plasticene is fully immersed in water the extension of the
length of rubber should reduce, leading to a weight of approximately
0.25 N. 1
A value in the range 0.20 N to 0.30 N gains a mark for accuracy. 1
(h) Density = kWP/(WP – WW) = 1.00 x 0.54 / (0.54 – 0.25) = 1.86 g/
cm3 quoted to 2 or 3 s.f. with units g/cm3 2
