I think it was C because when it crossed the zero line again that means is accelerating towards the ground and at D it hit the ground

it said max displ after it bounces once.


I agree that it was C. It was the only logical answer. The max displacement is always going to be when the velocity is 0.

Isn't that point B then where it was negative since at 0 it means it returned to the original position, I don't know.

I just wrote measure mass on scale. W=mg , A =pid^2/4 then P=W/A. To make it more precise I said repeat the measurement and average it.


That's exactly what I put, but I'm not sure whether they wanted us to talk about using a newtonmeter thingymuboby.

I put that Aswell because A was where it bounced first
Question paper pdf anyone pleaseeee!
Original post by maryamkhawaja
how?

I believe I used the wavelength to find the frequency (assuming v = 3 x 10^8)
I then used E=hf to find the total energy and divided this value by the energy of one electron (1.602 x 10^-19J)
I cant completely remember but I think this is what I did

what were the other opts?


18 mW was another option I guessed B (12 mW)

I got 7520 for the density because I rounded early, will that drop me marks?

How many marks do you think I'll lose if i forgot the negative sign in the momentum question (how many marks was that question?) Also how many marks was the mean drift velocity question, do u think?

Don't u just divide the power by the energy per photon since power is energy per second.
i forgot to convert units for the density question and left in in kg/cm3 how many marks would that lose

Such a weird paper...

1 or maybe 2 at the very most
Was it just me that thought the multiple choice questions were the hardest part of the paper?

how many marks was it worth?

It was 3 marks wasn't it?
They generally only give one or two marks if a question has so few steps
(I could be incorrect though)

Where can we get the model answers or smth for this paper

also when

I think you will get the marks for what you got as energy per photon but since photons and electrons have a one to one interaction you couldn't divide it by elementary charge. Probs 2/3

what did you guys get for the drift velocity of the electrons I got some crazy answer of 10^7 but couldn't see where I went wrong?


i got summin like dat aswell
i got 10^-something i cant remember but i got the number density to be 1.33x10^something
