(a) Briefly explain the following terms:
(i) emission line spectra;
(ii) line absorption spectra.
(b) Draw a labeled diagram showing the structure of a simple type of photocell and explain its mode of operation.
(c) State two
(i) reasons to show that x-rays are waves;
(ii) uses of x-rays other than in medicine.
(d) An electron jumps from an energy level of -1.6eV to one of -1.4 eV in an atom. Calculate the energy and wavelength of the emitted radiation. [ h = 6.6 x 10\(^{-34}\) Js; c = 3.00 x 10\(^8\) ms\(^{-1}\); eV = 1.6 x 10\(^{-19}\) J ]
Give three observations in support of de Broglie's assumption that moving particles behave like waves
A wire gradually stretched by loading it until it snaps.
(a) Sketch a load-extension graph for the wire
(b) Indicate on the graph the
(i) elastic limit (E);
(ii) yield point (Y);
(iii) breaking point (B).
In an electrolysis experiment, the ammeter records a steady current of 1 A. The mass of copper deposited in 30 minutes is 0.66 g. Calculate the error in the ammeter reading. [ Electrochemical equivalent of copper = 0.00033 g C\(^{-1}\)]
