If a light wave has a wavelength of 500nm in air what is the frequency of the wave?
[c = 3 x 10\(^8\) ms-1]

A.

3.0 x 1014 Hz

B.

6.0 x 1014 Hz

C.

6.0 x 1012 Hz

D.

2.5 x 1014 Hz

Correct answer is B

f = c/λ

∴ f = c = 3 x 108
λ 500 x 10-9


=6.0 x 1014 Hz

The pressure of two moles of an ideal gas at a temperature of 27oC and volume 10-2m3 is?
[R = 8.313 J mol-1K-1]

A.

4.99 x 105 Nm-2

B.

9.80 x 103 Nm-2

C.

4.98 x 103 Nm-2

D.

9.80 x 105 Nm-2

Correct answer is A

PV = nRT

∴ P = nRT = 2 x 8.313 x 300
_V ___10-2


= 4.987 x 105 Nm-2

The terminal velocity of a ball-bearing falling through a viscous fluid is reached when the?

A.

upthrust is equal to the weight of the ball

B.

ball accelerate uniformly

C.

upthrust is equal to the velocity of the ball

D.

velocity is uniform

Correct answer is D

At vt = terminal velocity
= zero acceleration
= uniform velocity
