28 An electromagnetic radiation of constant frequency is incident on a metal surface.
Wh ich statement exp lains why the photoe lectric current from the meta l surface is proportional to
the intensity of the incident electromagnetic radiation?
A
Radiation of greater intens ity causes the meta l surface to get warm and so emit more
electrons.
B
Radiation of greater intensity consists of more energetic photons.
C
Radiation of greater intensity means more photons per second strike the metal surfac e.
D
Radiation of greater intensity overcomes the metal's work function energy allowing more
electrons to esc ape.

General Comments:
•
In ‘show that’ questions, the full working and clear substitution of all values must be given. A question requiring an
explanation will not gain credit if only a basic statement is given.
•
Marks were lost for lack of precision of the answers, particularly to definitions, laws or determining information from
diagrams such as graphs.
•
Do not spend time writing out part or the entire question before giving any worthwhile answer. The credit available
and the space provided for each section gives a guideline to the length and detail required in the answer.

Common errors :
Many stated T as the unit. Though T is a legitimate symbol for tesla, it should be spelt in full for this type of
question.

[1] Ans
Common errors :
Insufficient number of significant figures was provided. The question already hinted that more s.f. is required.
(b)
Comparing with the new value of g = 9.7732 m s−2
It is deduced that at the new location g is lower.
Reasons :
- there could be oil-bearing rocks (less dense than the normal rocks)
beneath the new location.
- measurements were taken at a higher altitude.
[1] Lower
[1] One reason
Common errors :
Many mentioned air-resistance but it was clearly stated in the question that the marker falls in a vacuum.
3(a)
Using relative speed of approach = relative speed of separation (Elastic collision)
v 2 − v1 = u1 − u2
3.3 × 105 − v α = uα − 0
Equation 1
By conservation of momentum
4u(uα ) + 0 = 4u(v α ) + 16u( 3.3 × 105 ) where u is the a.m.u
uα = v α + 4( 3.3 × 105 )

Solving Equation 1 and 2 simultaneously
uα = 8.25 × 105 m s−1

Common errors :
Wrong assumption that alpha particle stopped moving after collision.
(b)
Sub uα = 8.25 × 105 m s−1 and solve
v α = −4.95 × 105 m s−1
Speed is a scalar quantity therefore is 4.95 × 105 m s−1

In the manufacturing of a steel cooking pan for example, force is applied beyond
the elastic limit so that the pan can be permanently in that desired shape.
In daily usage any force applied should be within the elastic limit so that the pan
can maintain its original shape with no permanent deformation.

explanation
[1] expression
for efficiency
1. For high value of R, a small current, I, runs through the circuit. Less power is
lost as heat in the internal resistance. Too much heat dissipation may damage
the battery.
2. The battery can serve a longer time for an appliance that has a large external
resistance since only a small current is drawn each time.

power
Photoelectric emission refers to the emission of photoelectrons from a metal
surface when an incident radiation of high enough frequency is shone on the
surface.
The incident radiation of high enough frequency f refers to photons where each
photon has an energy of E = hf. This is photon energy.
[1] general
statement
Each photon needs to have a minimum energy known as work function energy
before a photoelectron is released from the metal surface. This energy is
dependent on the type of metal surface.

Common errors :
Students did not distinguish between electrons and photons.
(b)
Here intensity refers to the rate of incidence of photons on the metal surface. The
maximum energy of photoelectrons on the other hand is referring to the maximum
kinetic energy (K.Emax) of the photoelectrons that are released from the metal
surface.
This K.Emax is only dependent on the frequency, f, of the incident photon and can
be related by the equation K.Emax = hf – work function energy. K.Emax not
dependent on the rate of incidence of photons.
Higher intensity implies higher rate of incidence of these photons which increases
the chance of release of photoelectrons proportionally. Hence the photocurrent
also increases proportionally.
7(a)
An emission line spectrum of an element consists of a series of separate bright
lines of definite frequencies (or wavelengths) on a dark background. It is
produced when a stream of photons of different frequencies is passed through a
narrow slit and normally through a diffraction grating.
These photons are emitted randomly from transitions (from higher to lower
energy levels) in the excited atoms of the element in a vapour or gas at low
pressure (named hot gas, not necessarily hot).

Electrons flow from negative (lower electrical potential) to positive (higher
electrical potential) through the filament.
[1]
(ii)
Rate of electron flow refers to the conventional current which would flow from
positive to negative through the filament. Therefore the rate of electron flow is
constant throughout the three components.
[1]
(iii)
Since the same current (rate of flow of electrons) flowing in the copper wires
have to flow through the very fine filament, the electrons need to speed up at
the filament to maintain the constant rate of flow. Therefore the average speed of
electrons increases while flowing through the filament.
[1]
[1]
Common errors :
Many students think that the electrons slowed down in the filament. Some even said electrons travelled at the
speed of light.
(d)
Since the average speed of electron is higher in the filament, the transfer of kinetic
energy to the filament atoms is bigger per collision per second.
[1]
[1]
(e)
The resistance in the leads will cause the current flowing through the filament
to be smaller. Less power (I2Rfilament) is dissipated in the filament and therefore
the lamp gets dimmer.

When there is a spike in the number of appliances used, the current drawn
would be large. This would cause a drop in electrical potential across the internal
resistance. If the internal resistance of the mains is high, the drop in potential
becomes substantial. This may cause some appliance to stop functioning e.g.
lightings dim due to insufficient power. But this is not the case, suggesting that
the internal resistance is very low.

If a power of 2400 W is dissipated while the leads are fully wound, the heat
dissipated will be high enough to melt the insulating material covering the
leads causing short-circuit.
If the same power is dissipated while the leads are fully unwound, the heat could
be dissipated fast enough into the surrounding air.

Some of the power required to help maintain the kinetic energy of the car is
dissipated at the wheels while overcoming friction.
Some of the power output of the car is dissipated while overcoming airresistance.
Power provided to the car to keep it at constant speed on a flat road is typically in
the order of 104. So even if the car produces a very loud noise (20 W), it is only
one-thousandth of the power used to maintain the kinetic energy of the car. This
is very small power dissipation.

Alternatively
When travelling at a constant speed on a flat road, the car moves through air
causing the surrounding air to move. Some of the power output is dissipated
as heat and sound.
Also, the car tyres flex when parts of the tyre make and break contact with
the road. Some output power is also dissipated as heat and sound due to this.
Thirdly, vibration of the car parts also dissipates heat and sound.

noise is

Common errors :
Many students mentioned heat losses from exhaust gases, power losses to electrical system and power wasted
in transmission system. The question is looking at the specific output used to maintain constant speed on a level
ground and possible ways of dissipation to the surrounding.

It means that the two waves have a constant phase difference when they
superpose at a certain position.

(ii)
When a wave front meets the pair of slits, the wave front emerges from the slits
as divergent wave fronts which are in phase with each other, i.e. the two slits
act as two coherent sources of divergent waves which are in phase. Hence the
coherence condition for interference is obtained.
