1 mark for identification of highest frequency.
e) Which of the labeled waves, A,B,C or D, has the greatest speed and why? (2 Marks)

time? Justify your answer. ( 1 mark)

Page 109 of 182

 Ans . 1 mark for
They reach the wall at the same time . The amplitude of a wave does not affect the speed at which the wave travels.
Both Wave A and Wave B travel at the same speed. The speed of a wave is only altered by alterations in the properties
of the medium through which it travels.

Q.2.

diagram to explain the concept. ( 2 Marks)

1 MARK for definition

1 mark for correct diagram
The critical angle occurs when the angle of incidence where the angle of refraction is 90°. The
light must travel from an optically denser medium to an optically less dense medium.

the ink mark is apparently raised if the refractive index of the glass is 1.50.
(2 Marks)
Ans. 1 mark for correct formula

Refractive index = real depth/apparent depth

Apparent depth =real depth/refractive index

Apparent depth= 12cm/1.50
Apparent depth = 8cm 1 mark for correct answer

3) State laws of refraction. 2 Marks

1 mark for each
a. The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie in the same
plan.
b. The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence i to the sin of angle of r is always equal to a constant
i.e. sin i/sin r= constant
4) The focal point is located 20.0 cm from a double concave lens. An object is placed 12 cm from the lens.
Determine the image distance. 3 marks
1 mark for equation
1 mark for negative focal length
1 mark for correct answer

Answer: di = ˗7.5cm
Given: f = -20.0 cm and do = +12.0 cm
(Careful: double concave lens have focal lengths which are negative.)
Use the equation 1 / f = 1 / do + 1 / di
Substitute and solve for di.

Page 110 of 182

 1 / (-20.0) = 1 / (12.0) + 1 / di
1 / (-20.0) - 1 / (12.0) = 1 / di
-0.1333 cm-1 = 1 / di
di = 1 / (-0.1233 cm-1)
di = ˗7.5cm

A Would the electric field vector created by balloon B be directed towards B or away from B?
___________ Explain your reasoning.
1 MARK for correct identification
1 mark for reasoning
Answer: TOWARDS B.
If balloon B repels balloon A then balloon B must be negatively charged. The electric field vectors are always
directed towards negatively charged objects. As such, the E vectors must be towards balloon B.
ii. When a glass rod is rubbed with silk both acquire charges. What is the source of their electrification
Two marks for the given statement
Ans . For the electrification of a body , only electrons are responsible. During rubbing electrons are
transferred from glass rod to silk. The glass rod acquires positive charge and rod acquires an equal negative
charge.
iii. Two balloons are charged with an identical quantity and type of charge: -6.25 nC. They are held apart
at a separation distance of 61.7 cm. Determine the magnitude of the electrical force of repulsion
between them. 3 Marks
Answer .
Q1 = -6.25 nC = -6.25 x 10-9 C Find
Q2 = -6.25 nC = -6.25 x 10-9 C
Felect = ???
d = 61.7 cm = 0.617 m
The final step of the strategy involves substituting known values into the Coulomb's law equation and using
proper algebraic steps to solve for the unknown information. This substitution and algebra is shown below.
Felect = k • Q1 • Q2 / d2
Felect = (9.0 x 109 N•m2/C2) • (6.25 x 10-9 C) • (6.25 x 10-9 C) / (0.617 m)2

Q.1.
The diagram given below in figure shows a ray of light AO falling on a surface separating two media. Draw the
refracted ray in each case

Answer. Solution:

Refracted ray OC is shown in each case

(a) Towards the normal or Angle of refraction < angle of incidence

(b) Away from the normal or Angle of refraction > Angle of incidence

(c) Refracted ray goes undeviated or angle of incidence = 0

Angle of refraction = 0

Ans

Page 159 of 182

  Apparent depth of penny at the bottom of the pond, dapp =3 m

 Refractive index of water =4/3

Finding the actual depth (d) of the pond

The apparent depth (of the penny at the bottom of the pond) is given by the expression:

Refractive index = real depth/ apparent depth

refractive index ×apparent depth = real depth

1.33×3m= actual depth

d =4 m

a) Define electrostatic induction. In Coulomb’s law the formula is F = kq1q2/r2, what is the change of force
if

i) Magnitude of each charge is doubled

ii) Distance between the charges is double

iii) Both of the charges and the distance between them is doubled

iv) Magnitude of one charge is doubled

v) Distance between the charges is increased three times

OR
(2+2+2)

b) If three resistors R1, R2, R3 are joined together and have two types of combinations such as series and
parallel then derive equations of equivalent resistance of these combinations with circuit diagrams.
