Show the answer and mark scheme
  • 2(a)[1]

    normal correct and extending above and below MR

  • 2(b)[1]

    line at 30° to the normal (± 2°) and end of line labelled A

  • 2(c)(i)[1]

    P1 P2 distance at least 5(.0) cm and no larger than 15(.0) cm inclusive

  • 2(c)(ii)[1]

    greater accuracy / easier to line up pins

  • 2(d)(i)[1]

    angle β = 58 ± 2°

  • 2(d)(ii)[1]

    all headings °

  • 2(e)[1]

    correct values of (α + β ) from candidate’s results

  • 2(f)[1]

    values are identical (within the limits of experimental accuracy) / almost equal / really close / not too far apart

  • 2(g)[2]

    at least 1 value < 30(°) and 1 value > 45(°)

    all recorded values less than 90°

  • 2(h)[1]

    difficulty in lining up pins / pins too thick / lines too thick / thickness of mirror (glass) / precision of protractor
