Additional Materials: As specified in the Confidential Instructions. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your Centre number, candidate number and name on all the work you hand in. Write in dark blue or black pen in the spaces provided on the Question Paper. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams, graphs or rough working. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer both questions. You are expected to record all your observations as soon as these observations are made, and to plan the presentation of the records so that it is not necessary to make a fair copy of them. The working of the answers is to be handed in. Marks are mainly given for a clear record of the observations actually made, for their suitability and accuracy, and for the use made of them. Additional answer paper and graph paper should be submitted only if it becomes necessary to do so. You are reminded of the need for good English and clear presentation in your answers. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. If you have been given a label, look at the details. If any details are incorrect or missing, please fill in your correct details in the space given at the top of this page. For Examiner’s Use Stick your personal label here, if provided. 1 2 Total This document consists of 9 printed pages and 3 blank pages.

The magnet (with a pointer attached) has been suspended as shown in Fig. 1.1. stand magnet thin strip of card pointer Fig. 1.1 A piece of straight copper wire has been taped to one edge of a 50 cm rule and a 360° protractor attached to the centre of the rule. You should not disturb the copper wire or the protractor from their positions on the rule during the course of the experiment. 9702/05/M/J/03 www.xtremepapers.net For Examiner’s Use www.studyguide.pk 3 (a) (i) For Examiner’s Use Set up the circuit shown in Fig. 1.2. d.c. power supply S A 60 70 80 90 100 11 0 12 0 50 13 0 0 40 14 0 32 33 0 0 34 350 0 10 20 30 180 190 20 0 170 0 2 10 0 16 15 22 0 copper wire 0 23 0 24 0 250 260 270 280 29 0 30 0 31 50 cm rule protractor Fig. 1.2 (ii) Place the rule on a sheet of white paper below the magnet.

The count rate registered by an instrument connected to the tube depends on several factors such as the distance from the radioactive source to the thin mica window, the activity of the source and VAB. The tube can detect α, β and γ-radiation. Design a laboratory experiment to investigate how the count rate due to γ-radiation only depends upon the potential difference VAB. You have access to three different radioactive sources only. Information relating to each of these sources is given in the table below. source type of radiation emitted half-life of source Radium-226 α, β and γ 1600 years Bismuth-214 β and γ only 20 minutes Cobalt-60 β and γ only 5 years You may assume that the following equipment is available, together with any other apparatus that may be found in a school or college science laboratory. Aluminium plates of different thicknesses Ammeter Connecting wires Datalogger Geiger-Müller tube Lead plates of different thicknesses Metre rule Oscilloscope Ratemeter Scaler Signal generator Source handling tool Variable d.c. power supply Voltmeter 9702/05/M/J/03 www.xtremepapers.net [Turn over www.studyguide.pk 8 You should draw a diagram showing the arrangement of your apparatus. In your account you should pay particular attention to (a) which source you would use, giving a reason for your choice, (b) the procedure to be followed, including how the count rate would be measured, (c) the control of variables, (d) any safety precautions you would take.
