    01.3 0.0023 s 1 mark each for answer and unit 2
    02.1 transverse 1
    02.2 5 cm 1
    the waves transfer energy to the 1
    side of the pond
    02.3
    but in a transverse wave the 1
    oscillations are perpendicular to
    the direction of energy transfer
    1 mark each for: working, 3

    1
    wavelengths the same
    1. for each material: keep the 1
    same thickness of material and
    loudness of bell

    P waves will be detected at all 1


    places A,B,C, D and E
    05.1
    P waves can travel through solid 1
    and liquids.
    S waves will be detected at 1
    places A and D because S
    waves can travel through solid
    but not liquid rock.
    05.2
    the outer core of the Earth is 1
    liquid rock

    the mantle material is denser 1


    than that of the crust
    05.3
    so the waves will travel faster
    through the mantle beause the 1
    particles are closer together
