1
Q

Differences between infrasound and ultrasound

A

Infrasound below 20hz, ultrasound is above 20000hz, humans hear infrasound, cant hear ultrasound

Q

Explain how uv is emitted to visible light in banknotes

A

This process is called fluorescence, uv emits electrons, electrons change energy levels and chnage orbit, they get in exciyed state leading to UV being emitted as visible light

Q

Explain how sound waves can be used to figure out depth of ocean

A

Ultrasound pulse release from boat, travels to ocean bed, gets reflected, time there for emission to reciept pulse is measured, speedxtime=distance, half time to measute to calculate depth

Q

Explain how momentum and energy both conserved in energy and collision

A

Equal and opposite forces equal, before collision=after collision, ke=1/2mv^2, some energy dissipared as thermal energy, power= mass x velocity, after collision it equals 0 proving energy and momentum conserved, mometun vector

Q

How to find value of background radiation

A

Use GM tube, remove any sources nearby that are obvious, measure count in a certain period of time and do count/time to figure out background radiation

Q

How can critical angle for glass be determined

A

Increase angle of glass, obserbe refracted beam until angle of refraction 90 degrees, angle of incidence critical angle repeat and take average

Q

Student should use ray and mirror in position how to use

A

Mark the part the ray light hits, put in normal to the mjrror which perpendicular at point of reflection and use protractor to measure incidence

Q

2 differences between irradiation and radiaoctive contamination

A

Irradation is outside object and irradation can be prevented by shielding

Q

Why should radipactice isotope be near to the person and you

A

Half life short, shorter time to be used after production

Q

Why do mices hear more than us

A

Mices more sensitive to higher frequencies whereas humans high frequency to low frequencies, lower intensity for us to hear

Q

Explain how momentum is conserved

A

Before=after, conservation of momentum, no external force acting, time of collision same, equal and opposute force equal meaning opposite momentum changes, f=ma

17
Q

Why is it better using nuclear power

A

Running out of fossil fuels, doesnt affect environment no carbon emission, so no global warming, low running cost, larger power output, risk are terrosist, expensive to set up, nuclear toxic waste lasts long, njclear disaster

18
Q

What is radiatio. Used for

A

Irradiation, steellisation

19
Q

Ehat happens in nucleys of positron emitted

A

Proton becomes a neutron

20
Q

How could u determine critical glass in image

A

Extend graph curve, reach until 90 degrees and check corresponding angles

21
Q

Explain why temp P reach constant value even though heater remains switched on

A

P absorbed the thermal energy, p emits thermal energy aswell, rate of absorption=emittion increases with temperature
