Answer:
(a) diffraction & interference
(b)(i) X in Diagram 6.1 is longer than that of in Diagram 6.2
(ii) a in Diagram 6.1 is shorter than that of in Diagram 6.2
(iii) X is inversely proportional to a
(c)(i) The distance gets smaller.
(ii) the green colour light has a shorter wavelength compared to the red colour light.
The following question is the actual Section B question of SPM 2010 that covers
these sub-topics:
a. Interference – A redundant part since Question 6 (structured) in the same
paper test the them about the same thing
b. Refraction – This part is OK.
c. Reflection – The reflection of a parabolic surface is more on the Optics learnt
in Form 4 but less mentioned in Chapter 1 of Form 5.

The existing question in the workbook (Form 5, Chapter 1, Structured Question

No.1 ) is more comprehensive compared to this SPM question.

So, it is suggested that the existing question (Form 5, Chapter 1, Structured

Question No.1 ) is retained by just adding a label of “SPM 2010” to the question.
