Physics Form 4 Pp3 Ms

This document outlines the marking scheme for a Physics exam involving experiments on oscillation and lenses. In part (a), students conducted an experiment measuring the period of oscillation for different pendulum lengths and were asked to plot a graph of period squared against length. From the slope of the line, they calculate the value of a constant K. Part (b) involves measuring speed of sound using resonance and calculating the value of g from the results. Part (c) describes an experiment with lenses where students measure potential and kinetic energy at different distances and are asked to plot a graph to determine focal length and index of refraction.
