Hello there, Can you please elaborate what does this point mean ?

What are they asking us to show an understanding of exactly ?

Thanks.

They're more or less asking us to be able label axes and give columns the correct headings and units.

By labeling axes in a sense that, if they give us the label of the x axis and its units, we'd have to to be able to write the corresponding y axis label as well as its units. I've seen this appear quite a bit in MCQ's.

eg. If we're talking about waves, and the question mentions wavelength, and the y axis is labelled displacement. The x axis would have to be labelled distance.
If the question mentioned time period, then the x axis would have to be time.

As for giving columns the correct headings, I believe this coincides well with what's asked of us in Paper 3.
Those questions where they ask us to take 6 readings etc, we need to know what headings to put in each column, and also include the units.
eg. SNo./ M ( m) / T (s) / T^2/M (s^2m^-1)

Hope this helped! ^_^
