Thank you!!! Now just gotta hope it comes up tomorrow...

Also, question for whoever knows it, is an absorption spectrum mostly black with a few coloured lines or mostly coloured with a few black lines? o.O

This may summarise it for you:
- A line spectrum = a series of bright light against a dark background.
- An absorption spectrum = a series of dark lines appear against bright backgrounds.

Gonna dump all the experiments i know ... someone correct me if i miss something out pls !

Photoelectric effect
-em radiation shone on metal
-one photon acts with one electron
-if the photon is below the threshold frequency no electrons are displaced even if the intensity is altered
-if the photon is above the threshold frequency a surface electron is freed
-when the frequency is above the threshold the amount of electrons displaced is effected by intensity
-if the kinetic energy transfered from the photon to the electron is great enough it will travel through the vacuum to complete the circuit

Stopping potential
The stopping potential can be found by passing a current the opposite direction to the freed electron, by finding the point where both cancel each other out you can find the KE of the electrons

Hey you know the experiment where the circuit is used for measuring kintetic energy of photoelectrons (p174 in the book) could you please explain it to me? I dont get the whole p.d. thing

thankss soo if vibrating air produces longitudinal wave then how does the whole transverse wave come into the situation? Is there a longitudinal and tranverse wave?

When you pluck a violin string, it makes a sound. The sound is longitudinal, like any other sound wave.

However, if you ignore the sound, and look at the string, the string has a longitudinal wave going through it.

Like when you pluck an elastic band or something. The string goes up and down and makes a sorta stretched oval shape. There is a longitudinal wave going through the string.

• Progressive wave is reflected at the edge of the violin.
• Reflected wave superposes with incident wave.
• The two waves interfere with each other.
• Where destructive interference takes place, nodes are produced.
• Where constructive interference takes place, antinodes are produced.

I dont have the book mate.. but i think thats stopping potential which ive explained above il try and go into more detail

- The stopping potential can be found by passing a current the opposite direction to the freed electron
- To find the max KE of an electron we need to know find voltage is needed to cancel out the photoelectron
- We then multiply the voltage by e (electron charge / 1.6x10^-19) to find energy

THANKKKS I get it noww

with 2 source interference, you move the probe along the 'screen' (where the screen would be in youngs double slit) and you'll get the interference pattern...

however to detect a stationary wave you move it between the transmitters and the metal sheet, sort of back and forth and you will be able to detect low signal (node) and high signal (antinode)

also the 2 source interference uses two transmitters connected to one source, for stationary waves only 1 transmitter is used to reflect off a metal sheet... that help?

Do you know an experiment for stretched strings forming stationary waves?

So, to find the I-V characteristics of a resitor, lamp, LED, how do you set up the circuit? i know it's something to do with a potential resistor, and a voltmeter in parallel with component you're testing, but...

mark schemes seem to differ, one said that you couldn't just set up the PR in series with the component (and then the voltmeter in parallel with just the component), and i can't see why this is wrong or how i should draw it to make it correct.

Anyone know?

what time is the exam 2moz??? is it 9 or 2

[The medjai]

Does anyone else feel as though this exam is mainly based upon regurgitating information?

i got it a 1:30

i got it a 1:30

thats strange coz all our exams either start at 9 or 2

when u connect a string to a driving oscillator connected to a fixed end.... do you know that experiment?

my college do them at 9 or 1:30, maybe a school/college thing?

At college we've been taught to just put the voltmeter in parallel to the the resistor and an ammeter in series with it

But in my revision guide it shows the potential divider way to set it up

The potential divider circuit is better (i cant remember the reason off the top of my head) but both will work.

have a variable resistor in series with the component ure testing, have a voltmeter across the component and an ammerter in series with the component... adjust the variable resistor and plot the values of current and potential difference..
