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

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.
