For Examiner’s Use shows an experiment in which an image is being formed on a card by a lens and a plane mirror. p q r lens image hole cut in card plane mirror torch The card and the mirror are shown angled, so that you can see what is happening. In a real experiment they are each roughly perpendicular to the line joining the torch bulb and the centre of the lens. State which of the three marked distances, p, q and r, is the focal length of the lens. On clearly mark a principal focus of the lens, using the letter F. Tick the boxes alongside two features that describe the image formed on the card. erect inverted real virtual What can be said about the size of the image, compared with the size of the object? In the experiment, the plane mirror is perpendicular to the beam of light. State what, if anything, happens to the image on the card if the plane mirror is moved slightly to the left, the lens is moved slightly to the left.

For Examiner’s Use 12 A radioactive material, X, has a half-life of 2 minutes. At the beginning of an experiment, a sample of the material produces a count-rate of 800 counts / s. shows the count-rate readings at the start of the experiment and after one half-life has elapsed. time t / minutes count-rate counts / s For Examiner’s Use Complete the plot of the decay curve, for times up to t = 12 minutes. Draw the best curve through your points. From your graph find the count-rate from the sample after 9 minutes, count-rate = counts / s the time it takes for the count-rate to fall from 700 counts / s to 350 counts / s. time = minutes A second sample of this radioactive material X gives an initial count-rate of 400 counts / s. What will be the half-life of this sample? half-life = minutes A river contains fine particles of mud. The mud builds up on the bottom of the river and prevents the movement of large ships. To solve this problem, the authorities remove the mud and dump it at sea. To check where the mud goes after it is dumped, a radioactive material is mixed with it and tracked with radioactivity detectors. Explain why the radioactive material X is not suitable to trace the movement of the dumped mud. State two other properties that a radioactive material must have to make it suitable for tracking the mud. 1. 2.
