AS PHYSICS Paper 2 Time allowed: 1 hour 30 minutes You are advised to spend about 35 minutes on Section C 2 *02* IB/M/Jun21/7407/2 Do not write outside the box Section A Answer all questions in this section. 0 1 A student investigates stationary waves using microwaves. Figure 1 shows a metre ruler fixed to a bench. The student places a microwave transmitter T at one end of the ruler and a vertical metal reflector R at the other end. R is at a right angle to the ruler. Figure 1 The student places a microwave detector D approximately one-third of the distance from T to R. When T is switched off, the microammeter connected to D reads zero. When T is switched on, stationary waves are produced between T and R, and the microammeter registers a current. When the student moves D along the ruler, the size of the current changes between maximum and minimum values. 5 *05* Turn over ► IB/M/Jun21/7407/2 Do not write outside the box 0 1 . 5 Figure 4 shows D placed at a position where the current is a maximum.
