CAPE Physics Unit 1 · May/June 2022 · Paper 2 · Question 2(d)(i)

Experimental data showing frequency against number of antinodes.

On the grid provided in Figure 3 on page 15, plot a graph of f against n. Draw the line of best fit through the points.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
