(a)(i) What is a wave motion?
(ii) State two differences between a radio wave and a sound wave.
(b)(i) Given that you are provided with a tuning fork, a burette and other necessary apparatus, describe with the aid of a diagram, an experiment to determine the frequency of a note emitted by a source of sound. [assume the velocity of sound in air is known]
(ii)State two precautions necessary to obtain accurate result in the experiment described in (b)(i) above
(c) A pipe closed at one end is 100 cm long. If the air in the pipe is set into vibration and a fundamental note is produced, calculate the frequency of the note. [ velocity of sound in air = 340 ms\(^{-1}\)]
(a) With the aid of a simple diagram, explain how a step down transformer works.
(b)(i) State three ways by which energy is lost in a transformer
(ii) Mention how each of the losses in (b)(i) above can be minimized
(c) A 95% efficient transformer is used to operate a lamp rated 60W, 220 V from a 4400 V a.c supply. Calculate the;
(i) ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil of the transformer
(ii) current taken from the main circuit.
(a)(i) With the aid of a labelled diagram describe the mode of operation of a modern X-ray tube.

(b) Define, as applied to X-rays, the following terms:
(i) hardness;
(ii) intensity.
(c) State (i) four uses of X-rays;
(ii) one hazard of over-exposure to X-rays in a radiological laboratory.
