The document describes four experiments involving water waves. The experiments investigate how wave properties change based on factors like the number of water droplets released, the distance between feet tapping water, and the frequency of a vibration motor. The document provides diagrams and context for developing hypotheses and experimental designs to test the effects of different variables on water wave propagation and properties.

6 DESIGN EXPERIMENT 2.
The diagram below shows water waves
Based on the diagrams in Questions 1 – 15, propagated from the sea towards the shore. (a) Make one suitable inference (b) State one suitable . (c) Describe how you would design an experiment to test your hypothesis. In your description, state clearly the following: (i) Aim of experiment (ii) Variables in the experiment With the use of apparatus such as ripple (iii) List of apparatus and materials tank and other apparatus, describe an (iv) Arrangement of the apparatus experimental framework to test your (v) The procedure of the hypothesis. experiment, which includes the [SPM 2003, 2013] method of controlling the manipulated variable and the 3. Diagram 3.1 shows a boy tapping the method of measuring the surface of the water with both his feet responding variable simultaneously. (vi) The way you would tabulate the Diagram 3.2 shows the boy repeating his data action with the feet further apart. (vii) The way would analyse the data The boy notices that when his feet are [12 marks] further apart, the distance between the ripples become less.
1. Diagrams 4.1 and 4.2 show two taps
releasing droplets of water into large containers. The number of droplets which fall per second in Diagram 4.1 is more compared to the number of droplets in Diagram 4.2. The cross sections of the water waves formed from the droplets in the containers are shown in the diagrams. Diagram 3.1 Diagram 3.2
