You are provided with a uniform metre rule of mass, M indicated on its reverse side, a knife-edge, a graduated measuring cylinder of known mass, M\(_{1}\) marked on it and other necessary apparatus.

  1. Read and record with values of M and m\(_{1}\). 
  2. Balance the metre rule horizontally on the knife edge. Read and record the balance point as G.
  3. Tie a loop of thread around the neck of the measuring cylinder.
  4. Fill the cylinder with the sand provided to the 2cm\(^{3}\) mark. Record the volume, V, of the sand.
  5. Hang the cylinder at the 2 cm mark of the metre rule and adjust the position of the knife edge until the rule balances horizontally.
  6. Read and record the new balance position K.
  7. Determine the value of e and f.
  8. Determine the mass, m\(_{2}\), of the sand in the measuring cylinder. Hint: m\(_{2}\) = (\(\frac{\text {M x f}}{e}\)) - m\(_{1}\).
  9. Repeat the procedure by filling the measuring cylinder to the mark V = 4,6,8 and 10 cm\(^{3}\). In each case, ensure that the measuring cylinder is kept constant at the 2 cm mark on the metre rule.
  10. Tabulate your readings.
  11. Plot a graph with m\(_{2}\) on the vertical axis and V on the horizontal axis.
  12. Determine the slope, s, of the graph.
  13. State two precautions taken to ensure accurate results.

(b)i. Determine the mass of 7.5 cm\(^{3}\) of the sand using your graph.

ii. A gold coin of mass 102.0 g has a uniform cross-sectional area of 10.0 cm\(^{2}\). Calculate its thickness. [Density of gold=19.3 g cm\(^{-3}\)]

Using the diagram above as a guide, carry out the following instructions:

  1. Fix a plain sheet of paper on the Celotex board.
  2. Place the rectangular glass prism on the paper and trace its outline, ABCD. Remove the prism.
  3. Draw a normal NMP to meet AB and DC at M and P respectively such that |AM|=DP=2.0cm.
  4. Trace the ray PQ with two pins, P\(_{1}\) and P\(_{2}\) at P and Q respectively such that angle MPQ = =50º 
  5. Replace the prism on its outline. Trace the emergent ray with two other pins P\(_{3}\) and P\(_{4}\) such that they lie in a straight line with P\(_{2}\) and the image of P\(_{1}\) viewed through the glass prism.
  6. Measure and record \(\theta\), the angle between the emergent ray and face AB of the glass prism.
  7. Evaluate cos \(\theta\) and sin i.
  8. Repeat the procedure for four other values of = 10°, 15°,20° and25°.
  9. Tabulate your readings.
  10. Plot a graph with cos \(\theta\) on the vertical axis and sin i on the horizontal axis.
  11. Determine the slope, s, of the graph
  12. State two precautions taken to ensure accurate results. Attach your traces to your answer booklet 

(b)i. State the laws of refraction of light

ii. Explain what is meant by the statement the refractive index of a material is 1.65

You are provided with a constantan wire, a2 \(\Omega\)standard resistor, an accumulator E, an ammeter A, a key K, and other necessary apparatus.

  1. Measure and record the emf of the accumulator provided
  2. Connect a circuit as shown in the diagram above.
  3. Close the key, read and record the ammeter reading l\(_{o}\) when the crocodile clip is not in contact with the Constantan wire.
  4. Open the key with the clip making contact with the wire, when d=90cm, close the key. Read and record the ammeter reading l.
  5. Evaluate d\(^{_1}\)
  6. Repeat the procedure for four other values of d=80, 70, 60, and 50 cm
  7. In each case, read and record the ammeter reading and evaluatre d\(^{_1}\).
  8. Tabulate your readings.
  9. Plot a graph with I on the vertical axis and d\(^{_1}\) on the horizontal aXIS.
  10. Determine the slope, S of the graph and its intercept, c, on the vertical axis.
  11. Evaluate k = \(\frac{c}{s}\)
  12. Using your graph, determine the current I when d=55cm.
  13. State two precautions taken to obtain accurate results.

(b)i. Explain what is meant by the potential difference between two points in an electric circuit.

ii.  State two factors on which the resistance of a wire depends.
