3.4.2 Wave A (1)
[9]
QUESTION 4
4.1 Wave-particle duality
No need for a medium to propagate.
Speed of EM waves are constant at 3 × 10-8 m.s-1 in a vacuum.
Oscillation between alternating accelerating charges cause magnetic
waves. (any two) (2)
4.2 4.2.1 Radio waves OR microwaves (1)
4.2.2 Infrared radiation/waves (1)
4.3 Gamma rays (1)
4.4 Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths or the highest frequencies in
the electromagnetic spectrum. (1)
4.5 4.5.1 Packet of energy found in light. (2)
4.5.2 Option 1 Option 2
𝒄 = 𝒇𝝀 c
E=h
380 x 108 = f (700 x 10-9)
f = 5,428 x 1016 Hz 8
380 x 10
= 6,63 x 10−34 700
x 10−9
E = hf
= 3,598 x 10 J
-17
= 6,63 x 10-34 (5,428 x 1016)
≈ 3,60 x 10-17 J
= 3,598 x 10-17 J
≈ 3,60 x 10-17 J (4)

QUESTION 5
5.1 The principle of conservation of charge states that the net charge of an
isolated system remains constant during any physical process. (2)
5.2 EXCESS (1)
5.3 FROM B TO A (1)
5.4 𝑄 = 𝑄1 +𝑄2

5.5
Option 1 Option 2
Q = nqe 𝑄
n=𝑒
1,5 x 10-9 = n x 1,6 x 10-19 1,5 × 10−9
n = 9,375 x 109 electrons = 1,6 × 10−19
= 9,375 x 109 electrons (3)
5.6 When the charged plastic ruler is brought closer to the uncharged pieces of
paper, the paper is polarised. The negative charges on the paper are
repelled by the negative charges on the ruler. This leaves the side of the
paper closest to the ruler positive. (2)
