    7. The properties of sound waves

    (a) substitution into speed = distance / time to get

    of constant wavelength; 2

    (ii) substitution of correct values into v =f

    or the wavelength is very small;

    so diffraction will be small for any reasonably sized fish;

    8. Waves

    (a) the direction in which energy (of the wave) is propagated;

    for a transverse wave it is at right angles to the direction of vibration

    of the particles (of the medium through which the wave is travelling);

    for a longitudinal wave the direction of energy propagation is in

    the same direction as the vibration of the particles; 3

    Accept answers based on diagrams for full marks provided direction of

    energy transfer and direction of oscillation are clear on the diagram.

    (b) (i) longitudinal;

    it is likely that the hammer will set the atoms of the rod to vibrate

    in the same direction as the direction of the motion of the hammer/ OWTTE; 2

    Award[0]if no explanation or poor explanation.

    Or

    hammer would not experience a rebounding force (if wave were not

    longitudinal) / OWTTE;

    some reference to direction of propagation of energy being along thelength of the rod;

    (iii) the hammer blow / pulse sets the rod vibrating;the vibration of the rod causes the air molecules in contact with the

    rod to vibrate;

    thereby setting up a longitudinal wave in the air / creates the sound
