Answer to Trial Term 3, STPM 2014

16 (a) Progressive wave is a wave whose wave profile changes.
(b) (i) = 2 f = 1500
f = 750 Hz

The waves from the two loud speakers are coherence because the diaphragms vibrate in phase.
The waves from the two bulbs are not coherence because the waves are radiated randomly.

(ii) Displacement of fringes = ( n-1)t /

= ( 13.9 -1 ) x 8.00 x 10-6 / 480 x 10-9
= 6.5 fringes

------1

Hence, the pattern of interference will be displaced downward and the bright fringes will be changed
to dark fringes and the dark fringes will be changed to bright fringes.
------1
(iii)

The wavelength of light in the liquid will be 1.40 times shorter.

-----1
Therefore the fringe separation will become 1.40 time closer, that is 1.44 x 10 -3 / 1.40 = 1.03 x 10-3 m ------1

18. (a) (i) Energy transfer per second per unit cross sectional area
(ii) The alternate rise and fall of sound intensity
due to the superposition of two waves with slightly different frequency.

19 (a) (i) The kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons does not depend on the intensity of the light.
------1
Only light with frequency higher than the threshold frequency can cause emission of photoelectrons. ------1

(b) (i) Continuous X-ray --- when the incident electrons hit the metal target, they can lose any amount of energy
in the collisions and this energy is converted to X-ray photons.
------1
The wavelength of the X-ray depends on the amount of kinetic energy lost, therefore, X-rays with different
wavelengths are produced. If an incident electron loses all its kinetic energy in one single collision, the
wavelength of the X-ray produced is minimum.
------1

Line X-ray --- The energies of the incident electrons are absorbed by the target atoms causing electrons
form the inner shell to be excited.
------1
When electrons from the higher shells drop down to fill the vacancies of the shells, line X-rays are produced.
------1
(ii) The energy levels of the target atoms are quantised. Thus, X-ray photons produced from transitions of
electrons have fixed amount of energies depending on the types of target atoms.

(ii) At short range, there is strong nuclear force binding the nucleons in the nucleus.
------1
For heavier nucleus, the strong nuclear force increases when the number of neutrons exceeds the number of
protons.
------1
(iii) The difference in mass is called mass defect.
------1
According to the relationship of mass-energy mass defect x (velocity of light) 2 produces binding energy which
is responsible for production of stable nuclei.
