A force of 40 N is applied at the end of a wire 4m long and produces an extension of 0.24mm. If the diameter of the wire is 2.00mm, calculate the;

(i) stress on the wire; (ii) strain in the wire.

(a) Differentiate between interference and polarisation as applied to waves.

(b) Mention two uses of polaroids

(a) Define angle of contact

(b) Draw sketches to show angles of contact for a capillary tube dipped vertically in (i) water; (ii) mercury.

During the electrolysis of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) solution, a steady current of 4.0 x 10\(^2\) A flowing for one hour liberated 0.48 g of copper. Calculate the mass of copper liberated by one coulomb of charge.

An electron of mass 9. 1 x 10\(^{-31}\) kg moves with a velocity of 4.2 x 10 ms\(^{-1}\) between the cathode and anode of an x-ray tube. Calculate the wavelength. (Take Planck's constant h = 6.6 x 10\(^{-34}\) J S)
