That question was so horrible. how do u even find the resistance of the resistor???


I just used the point where both lines joined 😂

Right so I remember this much, one of the resistances =22 ohms

There was 12 V

And ammeter, resistor and a thermistor with a voltmeter attached

you used the gradient of the slope

I got thaat too!!
Did you use c=f(wavelength) after?

How?????
i used 2 lambda= the difference

I did a tangent off the curve and worked out the gradient of that :/

I did but I didn't realise I did I/V instead of V/I 😭😭

But the line was already a straight line???

The curved line for the filament bulb wasn't straight though
The line started off curved, and then went to a constant resistance, however this was only under a certain voltage range.

Im pretty sure the resistance of the resistor was the reverse gradient dV/dI
how many marks would i lose for using 1 lamda instead of 2?

I used half(lamda)... would I get any marks?
did anyone get around 1.9ev for question 7.2? that's the only question I think I got right so if i'm wrong then well, i'm ****ed

i did and dw boundaries will be low
I hope they are low.. and what did you guys do for the 6 marker??

high pd to accelerate atoms to collide
i referenced the last point to my calculation for the energy of photon , as it is released when dropping from 3.4 to 1.5 so 1.9 ev
