The correct answer is C because:

Excitation is different from ionisation in that the electrons are only
given enough energy to move up to a higher energy level, and not so
much that they leave the atom (ionisation)
When the electron is in this higher energy level, it is in an excited
state
De–excitation is when an electron moves down an energy level and
emits a photon
2. The correct answer is D because:
The smallest difference in energy level, ΔE produces the longest

wavelength.
The difference in energy levels is calculated by:
A = 2.18 – 0.88 = 1.3
B = 2.18 – 0.59 = 1.59
C = 2.18 – 0.26 = 1.92
D = 0.59 – 0.26 = 0.33
Therefore, since D has the smallest ΔE, the photon produced from this
de– excitation will have the longest wavelength
3. The correct answer is C because:
Photons are produced when electrons de–excite between energy levels
The energy of the photons produced from the de–excitation is equal to

the difference in the energy levels
Therefore, the number of possible photon energies produced are from

the number of possible transitions a de–exciting electron can take
4. The correct answer is B because:
Before fission, each nucleus stores nuclear potential energy
During fission, a neutron collides with a uranium atom which splits it

into smaller fragments and more neutrons are released
After fission, the fragments have gained kinetic energy which is utilised
as heat energy
When the rate of fission is constant, this means that each fission reaction
goes on to initiate one further fission reaction
Displacement is a vector quantity
This statement is true, so this discounts option A
Displacement is proportional to the acceleration and therefore the

restoring force
This statement is true, so this discounts option C
Displacement is proportional to acceleration (just in the opposite

direction)
This statement is true, so this discounts option D
Displacement and velocity act in the same direction, not opposite

directions
So, option B is untrue
9. The correct answer is A because:
Volume is related to the amplitude of the wave
The greater the amplitude the higher the volume

Wave A has the greatest amplitude and therefore the highest volume
Pitch is related to the frequency of the wave
The higher the frequency the higher the pitch of the sound
Wave D has the highest frequency therefore it would produce the

highest pitch
The angle of incidence is always measured relative to the incoming ray

for any wave that is undergoing refraction or reflection
Therefore, it is not related to the outgoing ray
The angle will be formed between the ray and the normal because the
normal is the point of reference for both the incoming and outgoing ray
The light from both sources must be coherent
Coherent sources of light have the same frequency and phase

difference
This means they can interfere and produce an observable interference

pattern
It is not enough to say that the light must be in phase or only of the
same frequency
So, the correct answer is D

The equation is used to calculate the fringe spacing s
This eliminates options A, C and D
s is not a term in these equations
So, the correct answer must be option B
Lasers are an extremely intense and concentrated light source
Therefore, they must not be shone into anyone's eyes
This can cause damage to their retina and potentially result in

blindness or limited vision
The graph of intensity for a double slit interference pattern with two
slits of an infinitely thin width has each maximum with an equal intensity,
which results in each fringe being equally bright
The mass number of the nucleus is 181
In order to separate a nucleus into its constituent nucleons, energy is

required
In other words, work must be done
The total amount of energy required to separate a nucleus into its

constituent nucleons is the binding energy of the nucleus

Since the two smaller mass nuclei with mass m bond together in
fusion, the product will need binding energy to hold the larger single
nuclei together
Therefore, the mass of the larger nuclei must be less than the original
two masses
The graph shows that as atomic number increases, there are more
neutrons than protons and that the ratio of protons to neutrons decreases
Part of the energy is the mass defect to separate the resulting atoms
