Q3.          A student did two experiments on radiation. The apparatus he used is shown in the diagram.

          Experiment 1

•        The student put the same volume of cold water into the two cans. •        He then switched on the heater. •        Ten minutes later the water in the can with the dull black surface was much hotter than the

water in the other can.

black is the best absorber (of thermal energy / heat) accept black is the best emitter (of thermal energy / heat) note that a comparative is needed (eg better or best)

(ii)     the colour of the metal plates 1

(iii)    any one from:

•    more precise / accurate / reliable do not accept better reading do not accept thermometer is unreliable

•    can measure continuously

•    take many readings in a small time

•    removes (human) reading error accept easier to read

•    can compare / draw graphs automatically

•    records data automatically 1

(c)     (i)      radiation accept radiates accept infra red (IR) waves do not accept heat waves

1

(ii)     to reflect (heat away from the fire fighter) accept it reflects accept it is a poor absorber (of thermal radiation / heat) do not accept deflect / bounce for reflect

1

(d)     N

the mark is for the reason which does not score if M is chosen

transfers / absorbs less heat or gives smallest increase in temperature

accept will keep fire fighters cooler accept N is cooler (after 15 minutes) an answer N goes up to 52°C and M goes up to 100°C is insufficient

M22. (a)    to reflect (the infrared)

accept (shiny surfaces) are good reflectors ignore reference to incorrect type of wave

1

(b)     black 1

best absorber (of infrared) answer should be comparative black absorbs (infrared) is insufficient accept good absorber (of infrared) ignore reference to emitter ignore attracts heat ignore reference to conduction

(c)     to reduce energy loss accept to stop energy loss accept heat for energy accept to stop / reduce convection

or so temperature of water increases faster

accept to heat water faster accept cooks food faster

or reduces loss of water (by evaporation)

(d)     672 000 allow 1 mark for correct substitution, ie 2 × 4200 × 80 provided no subsequent step shown

2 [6]

M23.          (a)     (i)      vacuum

do not allow stopper 1

(ii)     (absence of particles) means no (transfer of energy between) particles for conduction

accept particles or atoms or molecules or electrons 1

Page 67 of 72

         no movement of molecules for (transfer of energy by) convection accept particles/atoms/electrons if answer to (a)(i) is correct: then in (a)(ii) have stated ‘conduction and convection both need a medium/particles/materials’ = 2 marks (If medium is specified, it must be correct, conduction can be solid, liquid or gas, convection must be liquid or gas) if answer to (a)(i) is incorrect then in (a)(ii) have stated ‘conduction and convection both need a medium...’= 1 mark, unless further qualified by stating about absence of particles, in which case get a second mark.

(ii)     silvered is a bad emitter/radiator 1

         surface reflects heat/energy/radiation (at inner and outer surface) or is a bad absorber (of energy)

accept bounces off 1

M24.        (a)      B

no mark for B - marks are for the explanation first two mark points can score even if A is chosen

draught increases (the rate of) evaporation accept more evaporation happens accept draught removes (evaporated) particles faster do not accept answers in terms of particles gaining energy from the fan / draught

1

evaporation has a cooling effect accept (average) kinetic energy of (remaining) particles decreases

1

so temperature will fall faster / further 1

(b)     larger surface area 1

Page 68 of 72

increasing the (rate of) evaporation accept more / faster evaporation accept easier for particles to evaporate

or

for water to evaporate from accept more particles can evaporate accept water / particles which have evaporated are trapped (in the bag) answers in terms of exposure to the Sun are insufficient

M25. (a)     Marks awarded for this answer will be determined by the Quality of Written Communication (QWC) as well as the standard of the scientific response. Examiners should also refer to the information in the Marking guidance.

0 marks No relevant content.

Level 1(1-2 marks) There is a basic explanation of one feature or a simple statement relating reduction in energy transfer to one feature.

Level 2(3-4 marks) There is a clear explanation of one feature or a simple statement relating reduction in energy transfer to two features.

Level 3(5-6 marks) There is a detailed explanation of at least two features or a simple statement relating reduction in energy transfer to all four features.

Examples of the points made in response

extra information accept throughout: heat for energy loss for transfer

plastic cap:

•         plastic is a poor conductor accept insulator for poor conductor

•         stops convection currents forming at the top of the flask so stopping energy transfer by convection

•         molecules / particles evaporating from the (hot) liquid cannot move into the (surrounding) air so stops energy transfer by evaporation

•         plastic cap reduces / stops energy transfer by conduction / convection / evaporation

glass container:

•         glass is a poor conductor so reducing energy transfer by conduction

•         glass reduces / stops energy transfer by conduction

vacuum:

•         both conduction and convection require a medium / particles

•         so stops energy transfer between the two walls by conduction and convection

•         vacuum stops energy transfer by conduction / convection

silvered surfaces:

•         silvered surfaces reflect infrared radiation accept heat for infrared

•         silvered surfaces are poor emitters of infrared radiation

•         infrared radiation (partly) reflected back (towards hot liquid)

•         silvered surfaces reduce / stop energy transfer by radiation 6

(b)     (the ears have a) small surface area ears are small is insufficient

1

so reducing energy radiated / transferred (from the fox) accept heat lost for energy radiated do not accept stops heat loss
