Markscheme

«gravitational» potential energy «of the raindrop» into thermal/internal energy «of the air» ✓

 

Accept heat for thermal energy.

Accept into kinetic energy of air particles.

Ignore sound energy.

Examiners report

Of the wrong answers, the most common ones were gravitational potential to kinetic or the idea that because there was no change in velocity there was no energy transfer. A significant number, though, scored by identifying the change into thermal (most of them), kinetic of air particles (a few answers) or internal (very few).
