General Marking Guidance
? All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
? Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.
? Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
? There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately.
? All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate's response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.
? Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.
? When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate's response, the team leader must be consulted.
? Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.
Question number 1 (a)
any two from:
Answer
MP1. light waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal;
MP2. light travels faster than sound;
MP3. light can travel through vacuum but sound waves can't;
Notes ignore references to frequency and wavelength
condone `different speeds'
Marks 2
(b) (i) B (microwaves);
1
A is incorrect because gamma rays have a shorter wavelength than infrared C is incorrect because ultraviolet rays have a shorter wavelength than infrared D is incorrect because visible light waves have a shorter wavelength than infrared
(ii) B (heating lamps);
1
A is incorrect because ultraviolet rays are used in fluorescent lamps
C is incorrect because there is too much interference from the Earth for infrared to be used for satellite transmissions D is incorrect because gamma rays are used to sterilise medical equipment
(iii) D (skin burns);
1
A is incorrect because infrared is not absorbed by the retina B is incorrect because infrared is non-ionising C is incorrect because infrared cannot penetrate into the body to cause internal heating
(c)
trace drawn with higher amplitude throughout;
allow variable
2
amplitude
trace drawn with higher frequency throughout;
allow variable
amplitude
e.g.
Total for Question 1 = 7 marks
Question
number
2 (a)
2;
Answer
(b)
all rows correct;;
any 2 rows correct;
e.g.
Notes
Marks 1
2
(c)
any two from:
do not penalize use of
2
atom for nucleus for
more than one mark
MP1. neutrons absorbed by another nucleus;
MP2. uranium-235 named;
MP3. nucleus splits, releasing more neutrons (and
process repeats);
Total for question 2 = 5 marks
Question number 3 (a)
Answer (metre) rule(r)/(metal) tape measure;
Notes
allow (Vernier) caliper(s)
Marks 1
(b) (i) 3.6;
allow 3.7
1
(ii) idea that the reading would be larger than the
1
range of the instrument;
(c) (i) suitable linear scale chosen (>50% of grid used);
3
axes labelled with quantities and units;
plotting correct to nearest half square;
ignore plotting of 45cm
point
(ii) line (curve) of best fit acceptable;
allow ECF from plotting
1
i.e. smooth curve with
points evenly
distributed about it
(d)
any four from:
no mark for simply
4
`student is right/wrong'
MP1. as distance increases, force decreases;
MP2. (because) moment = force x distance;
MP3. any one calculated moment value from
results table or graph;
MP4. a second calculated moment value from
results table or graph;
MP5. evidence shows moments are not all the
allow evidence shows
same;
moments are similar
MP6. (but) no pattern in the data (so could be
allow consistent
attributed to experimental errors);
conclusion i.e. variation
isn't large enough
Total for Question 3 = 11 marks
Question number
Answer
4 (a) (i) idea that it will run out / cannot be replaced;
(ii) any two correct readings taken from graph; evaluation of total;
e.g. (proportion =) 27.5 + 35 + 19.5 (proportion =) 82 (%)
Notes ignore renewed/re-used
Marks 1
2
allow 81-83 (%)
(b)
a named effect e.g. global warming, acid rain;
2
a named pollutant e.g. carbon dioxide, sulphur
-1 for incorrectly linked
dioxide, nitrogen (di)oxide;
effect and pollutant
(c) (i) correct reading of solar from graph; evaluation;
seen anywhere in
2
working
e.g. solar = 1.5% (solar output = 0.015 ? 4.76 ? 1011 =) 7.1(4) ? 109 (W)
(ii) correct use of ratio;
2
evaluation;
e.g. land area = 4.76 ? 1011 / 250 (land area =) 1.90 ? 109 (m2)
allow 1.904... ? 109 (m2)
(iii) any three from:
no mark for simple
3
yes/no for suitability
MP1. land area needed is much less than total land allow ecf from (ii)
area of USA / there is enough space;
MP2. land area needed is (much) less than 1% of
also scores MP1
total land area;
MP3. idea that Sun doesn't shine all the time;
MP4. idea that some areas of land may not be
allow idea of competing
suitable for solar power;
land uses e.g.
housing/agriculture
Total for question 4 = 12 marks
