TIME ALLOWED The total time for both sections of this paper is 1 hour 45 minutes. You are advised to spend approximately 50 minutes on this section. At the top of the page, write your surname and other names, your centre number, your candidate number and add your signature. [Turn over]
2 2 INSTRUCTIONS Use black ink or black ball-point pen. Answer ALL questions. You must answer the questions in the spaces provided. Do all rough work in this book. Cross through any work you do not want to be marked. Show all your working.
3 3 INFORMATION The marks for questions are shown in brackets. The maximum mark for this section is 35. You are expected to use a calculator where appropriate. A ʻData and Formulae Bookletʼ is provided as a loose insert. You will be marked on your ability to: use good English organise information clearly use specialist vocabulary where appropriate. DO NOT TURN OVER UNTIL TOLD TO DO SO
4 4 SECTION B The maximum mark for this section is 35. You are advised to spend approximately 50 minutes on this section. 1 (a) Draw a ray diagram for an astronomical refracting telescope in normal adjustment. Your diagram should show the paths of THREE non-axial rays passing through both lenses. Label the principal foci of the two lenses. [3 marks]
5 5 1 (b) The Treptow Giant Telescope in Berlin is the longest moveable refracting telescope on Earth. Some of its properties are summarised below: distance between the objective lens and eyepiece lens = 21 m angular magnification = 210 objective lens diameter = 0.68 m 1 (b) (i) Calculate the focal lengths of the eyepiece lens and objective lens of the Treptow Giant Telescope. [2 marks] [Turn over] eyepiece lens focal length m objective lens focal length m
6 1 (b) (ii) Early telescopes had very small diameter objective lenses. State TWO advantages of using an astronomical telescope that has a large diameter objective lens when making observations. [2 marks] 6 Advantage 1 Advantage 2
7 7 1 (c) The images formed by refracting telescopes can suffer from chromatic aberration. Draw a labelled diagram to show how a converging lens causes chromatic aberration. [1 mark] [Turn over] 8
8 8 2 The term Big Bang was first used in 1949 by the astronomer Fred Hoyle to refer to, what was then, a controversial theory describing the formation of the Universe. 2 (a) Explain what is meant by the Big Bang theory. Your answer should include: a description of the main aspects of the theory an explanation of the different pieces of evidence that support the theory. The quality of written communication will be assessed as part of your answer. [6 marks]
9 9 [Turn over]
10 10
11 11 [Turn over for the next question]
12 12 2 (b) A more recent discovery is the acceleration in the expansion of the Universe. Evidence for this acceleration comes from the use of type 1a supernovae as standard candles. 2 (b) (i) State what is meant by a standard candle. [1 mark] 2 (b) (ii) Explain how measurements of a type 1a supernova can be used to determine how far away it is from the Earth. [3 marks]
13 (a) Define the term absolute magnitude. [1 mark] [Turn over]
14 14 3 (b) Figure 1 shows the axes of a Hertzsprung- Russell diagram. FIGURE 1 Mark suitable scales on the absolute magnitude and temperature axes. [2 marks] absolute magnitude temperature / K
15 15 3 (c) Label a possible position of each of the following stars on Figure 1: 3 (c) (i) the Sun [1 mark] 3 (c) (ii) star W, which has the same intrinsic brightness as the Sun, but has a significantly higher temperature [1 mark] 3 (c) (iii) star X, which has a similar spectrum to the Sun, but is significantly larger [1 mark] 3 (c) (iv) star Y, which is significantly larger than the Sun and has prominent absorption lines of neutral atoms and titanium oxide (TiO) in its spectrum. [1 mark] [Turn over]
16 BLANK PAGE 16
17 17 3 (d) How does the diameter of star W, in part 3(c)(ii), compare with the diameter of the Sun? Explain your answer. [3 marks] [Turn over] 10
18 18 4 (a) Explain what is meant by a parsec. Draw a labelled diagram in support of your answer. [2 marks]
19 19 4 (b) The Hipparcos satellite used the parallax method to measure the distance to more than stars with a precision of arc seconds. Calculate, in metres, the maximum distance measurable by Hipparcos. Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. [3 marks] distance m [Turn over]
20 20 4 (c) The star Alpha Capricorni is in fact two stars that appear very close together. TABLE 1 Some data about the two stars are summarised in Table 1. Star Distance / pc Apparent magnitude Class Alpha-1 capricorni Alpha-2 capricorni G G 4 (c) (i) Explain how data in the table indicate that the two stars are NOT part of a binary system. [1 mark]
21 21 4 (c) (ii) Explain why the angular separation of the two stars changes when observed from the Earth during a 12 month period. [1 mark] END OF QUESTIONS 7
