(i) 2.2 (arbitrary units) (ii) allow an answer between 2.1 and 2.3 the thicker the tissue the lower the intensity accept more intensity is needed to pass through thicker tissue the relationship is not linear accept the line is not straight allow for 1 mark it still goes through with thicker tissue or intensity does not reach zero or at 5 cm X rays still pass through (they are) absorbed Both variables are continuous With a charge-coupled device (CCD). accept (they are) stopped X-rays are ionising stand behind a (protective) screen accept leave the room accept wear a lead apron Level 3 (5-6 marks): A detailed and coherent plan covering all the major steps is provided. The steps in the method are logically ordered. The method would lead to the production of valid results. A source of inaccuracy is provided. Level 2 (3-4 marks): The bulk of a method is described with mostly relevant detail. The method may not be in a completely logical sequence and may be missing some detail. Page 35 of 38 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 [9] (b) Q12. Level 1 (1-2 marks): Simple statements are made. The response may lack a logical structure and would not lead to the production of valid results. (b) 0 marks: No relevant content. Indicative content place a glass block on a piece of paper draw around the glass block and then remove from the paper draw a line at 90° to one side of the block (the normal) use a protractor to measure and then draw a line at an angle of 20° to the normal replace the glass block using a ray box and slit point the ray of light down the drawn line mark the ray of light emerging from the block remove the block and draw in the refracted ray measure the angle of refraction with a protractor repeat the procedure for a range of values of the angle of incidence possible source of inaccuracy the width of the light ray which makes it difficult to judge where the centre of the ray is velocity / speed of the light decreases (a) radio allow velocity / speed of the light changes Page 36 of 38 6 1 1 [7] Q13.
