3 M7/4/PHYSI/SP/ENG/TZ/XX/M Section A a in order to keep the temperature constant in order to allow the system to reach thermal equilibrium with the surroundings/owtte Accept answers in terms of pressure or volume changes only if clearly related to reaching thermal equilibrium max with the surroundings. b c d recognizes b as gradient calculates b in range Pa m to V H thus ideal gas law gives p H so graph should be «a straight line through origin,» as observed ba n = OR correct substitution of one point from the graph RT n = = Award [ max] if POT error in b. Allow any correct SI unit, eg kg s -. Answer must be to or SF. Allow ECF from (b).

4 4 M7/4/PHYSI/SP/ENG/TZ/XX/M e very large means very small volumes / very high pressures H at very small volumes the ideal gas does not apply OR at very small volumes some of the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases do not hold

12 M7/4/PHYSI/SP/ENG/TZ/XX/M Option C Imaging 7 a i an image formed by extensions of rays, not rays themselves OR an image that cannot be projected on a screen a ii v = «v = cm» a iii u = 8 = 6.0 «cm» v = 4 «cm» «=» f = 8.0 «cm» f Award [ max] for answer of 4.8 cm. Minus sign required for MP. a iv line parallel to principal axis from intermediate image meeting eyepiece lens at P line from arrow of final image to P intersecting principal axis at F

13 M7/4/PHYSI/SP/ENG/TZ/XX/M 7 b i object is far away so intermediate image forms at focal plane of objective for final image at infinity object must also be at focal point of eyepiece «hence 87.5 cm» No mark for simple addition of focal lengths without explanation. b ii angular magnification = 85.0 = 4.50 angular diameter = rad c chromatic aberration is the dependence of refractive index on wavelength but mirrors rely on reflection OR mirrors do not involve refraction «so do not suffer chromatic aberration»

14 4 M7/4/PHYSI/SP/ENG/TZ/XX/M 8 a i longer distance without amplification signal cannot easily be interfered with less noise no cross talk higher data transfer rate max a ii infrared radiation suffers lower attenuation b.4 loss = 0log = db length = «=» «km» 0.0 c a thin core means that rays follow essentially the same path / OWTTE and so waveguide (modal) dispersion is minimal / OWTTE

15 5 M7/4/PHYSI/SP/ENG/TZ/XX/M Option D Astrophysics 9 a i stars fusing hydrogen «into helium» a ii 5.5 M = M (4 0 ) = 9.86M «M 40M» a iii 4 5 T 4 0 = T 4000 «K» a iv 5 AU 4 0 = 4 0 d 8 d = 0 «AU» Accept reverse working. Accept use of substituted 4 values into L= σ 4π RT. Award [] for a bald correct answer. Accept use of correct values L into b =. 4 π d b the gravitation «pressure» is balanced by radiation «pressure» that is created by the production of energy due to fusion in the core / OWTTE Award [ max] if pressure and force is inappropriately mixed in the answer. Award [ max] for unexplained "hydrostatic equilibrium is reached".
