This markscheme is listed under Physics in the 2002 examination archive. Its catalogue level is SL. The catalogue session is May. The information below helps you identify the document before opening the complete PDF. Subject, year and session labels come from the archive catalogue; the original cover remains the reference if a label differs. A file is not automatically suitable for your current syllabus simply because its subject name matches.
Use this markscheme alongside its matching question paper. Attempt the questions first, then compare the required reasoning and the available marks. Record the exact step that lost credit rather than only the final answer. Examiner wording can help you distinguish a calculation error from missing explanation, but an older markscheme may use a previous assessment structure.
The public preview contains file information and, where reliable text extraction is available, a limited opening excerpt. It is not a summary of unseen questions or a replacement for the original document. Create a free email account to read or download the complete file.

General
A markscheme often has more specific points worthy of a mark than the total allows. This is intentional.
Do not award more than the maximum marks allowed for part of a question.
When deciding upon alternative answ ers by candidates to those given in the markscheme, consider the
following points:
! Each marking point has a separate line and the end is signified by means of a semicolon (;).
! An alternative answer or wording is indicated in the markscheme by a /; either wording can be
accepted.
! Words in ( ) in the markscheme are not necessary to gain the mark.
! The order of points does not have to be as written (unless stated otherwise).
! If the candidates answer has the same meaning or can be clearly interpreted as being the same
as that in the markscheme then award the mark.
! Mark positively. Give candidates credit for what they have achieved, and for what they have got
correct, rather than penalising them for what th ey have not achieved or what they have got
wrong.
! Remember that many candidate s are writing in a second langua ge. Effective communication is
more important than grammatical accuracy.
! Occasionally, a part of a question may require a calculation whose answer is required for
subsequent parts. If an error is made in the firs t part then it should be pe nalised. However, if the
incorrect answer is used correctly in subsequent parts then follow through marks should be
awarded. Indicate this with ECF, error carried forward.
! Units should always be given where appropria te. Omission of units should only be penalised
once. Indicate this by U-1 at the first point it occurs. Ignore this, if marks for units are already
specified in the markscheme.
! Deduct 1 mark in the paper for gross sig dig error i.e. for an error of 2 or more digits.
e.g. if the answer is 1.63:
2 reject
1.6 accept
1.63 accept
1.631 accept
1.6314 reject
Indicate the mark deduction by SD-1. However if a question specifically deals with uncertainties and
