9702/23 Paper 2 (AS Structured Questions), maximum raw mark 60
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began,
which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers.
Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the
examination.
• CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.
CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2010 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE
Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

4 (a) (i) solid has fixed volume and fixed shape/incompressible B1 [1]
(b) atoms/molecules have (elastic) collisions with the walls (of the vessel) B1
momentum of atom/molecule changes B1
so impulse (on wall)/force on wall B1
random motion/many collisions (per unit time) gives rise to
(constant) force/pressure B1 [4]
5 (a) (i) 1 number of oscillations per unit time (not per second) B1 [1]
2 nλ A1 [1]
(ii) wave (with approx. same amplitude and) with correct phase difference B1 [1]
(ii) power = EI C1
= 10 × 0.2 = 2.0 W A1 [2]
