Is this ur last exam. I have one more after this

Medical students: for treating myopia, image formed by lens is virtual, and for treating hypermetropia the image formed is real, is this correct?

So in the lens formula, if you have to find an image formed by a converging lens, v will be negative, and for diverging lens v will be positive?
How much are we actually meant to remember about Chernobyl lol

ugh I still don't know this properly lol. But from what I have learnt, I think the image is formed at the uncorrected near point even when the object is at the aided near point therefore the image in both types of lenses is negative

the image is virtual if the light rays aren't really coming from the point where the image appears.

Can anyone help me on second part of this question doing turning points don't seem to know how to do it?

the grade boundaries for this unit last year were crazy low! http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/over/stat_pdf/AQA-A-LEVEL-GDE-BDY-JUNE-2014.PDF
Original post by knighty437
For the core unit:

June 2010: What goes on in a nuclear reactor for induced fission
June 2011: How pressure is exerted by gasses
June 2012 Comparison of nuclei radius experiments, electron or alpha scattering
June 2013: Determining a radioactive source
June 2014: Half life of radioactive waste and how it should be stored.

Those are the past 6 markers for anyone who's wondering.


Do you think it'll be on the thermal side this year then?
Can someone please explain why in June 2014, question 1b(ii) we omit the binding energy of the neutrons from the calculation? Thanks

Is my derivation good enough?

Yep. Here's what I'd say:

Neutrons dont have binding energy because they aren't binded to anything

As said 1000 times in the last few pages already :lol:

Yes true, I agree with the eye one - but I don't think we need to know much about how light ray get received by the brain? Also what would you say about endoscope + laparoscopic? I am thinking more of an X-ray question!


By the brain bit I just mean optical nerves, details of action potential, flicker fusion etc.

Endoscope, could talk about coherent and non-coherent bundles and functions, radius of curvature, details of refractive indexes. Laporoscopy, what is it, the advantages of it (less recovery time, no entrance wound, less time using hospital bed etc).

I reckon X-rays will come up, could be absolutely anything mind - image intensifier plates, fluoroscopy intensifiers, advantages/disadvantages of different scans, voltage/current/energy/intensities relationship stuff, structure of x-ray machine... anything really!
