Edexcel GCS Physics Unit 2: Physics as work Section A examples

I have used the June 2011 paper to make some statements for section A. I hope these help.

1.

When light hits the boundry between mediums it will either reflect or refract (bend towards the normal).

Internal resistance can be found by taking the magnitude of the gradient of a Current (x-axis) Potential difference (y-axis).

3.

At two points seperated by half of a wave lenght the displacement is in opposite direction to each other.

4.

An ultraviolet photon has more energy than an infrared photon.

5.

When the temperature decreases on a negative temperature coefficient thermistor the ammeter reading will decrease.

6.

Potential difference (v) can be writen as J A-1 s-1.

7.

When two wave crests meet, the aplitude is equal to the sum of the aplitudes of both waves.

8.

When a wave is diffracted as it passes through an opening in a barrier. The amount of diffraction that the wave undergoes depends on both the wavelenght of the incident wave and the size of the opening.

9.

The cross-sectional area of wire X is twice that of Y. The drift velocities of the electrons in these can be represended as vx and vy. The value of vx/vy is equal to 1/2.

Diffraction of light passiing through a narrow opening provides evidence that light has a wave nature.
