 Assume where necessary, gravitational field strength, g=10N/kg

1.(a) Define the following terms as applied to curved mirrors;


(i) Centre of Curvature
(ii)Focal Length.
(b) State the differences between the image formed by a plane mirror and the image formed by a
convex mirror.
(c ) An object 3cm high is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror of focal length 7.5cm. If the
object is 30cm from the pole of the mirror, construct a ray diagram to obtain the position of the image.
Determine the nature and size of the image formed.(use a scale 1cm represents 2.5cm) Strictly use graph

(d) State one application of each of the following:
(i) A plane mirror (ii) Convex mirror (iii) A parabolic mirror

2.(a) You are provided with the following: A torch bulb, switch, screen with wire gauze at the centre, a
concave mirror, a mirror holder and a metre rule. Describe an experiment you can carry out using all the
apparatus above to determine the focal length of the mirror.
(b) State three differences between a real image and a virtual image.

3. (a) (i) State the laws of reflection of light.


(ii) State four characteristics of images formed by a plane mirror.
(iii) With the aid of diagrams, explain the difference between regular and irregular reflection.
(b) If the angle between the incident and reflected ray in a plane mirror is 100 o,calculate the angle of
reflection.

4. (a) Describe the nature of the image formed by a pinhole camera.


(b) What would be the effect on the image formed by a pinhole camera when the object distance is
reduced?

(c ) Calculate the height of a tree 500m away from a pin hole camera which produces an image 2.5cm high
given the length of a camera is 20cm

5.(a) State the conditions of equilibrium when a body is acted upon by a number of parallel forces.
(b) Describe how you would determine, by experiment the centre of gravity of a piece of uniform
cardboard of irregular shape.
(c ) A uniform metal tube of length 5m and mass 9kg is suspended horizontally by two vertical wires
attached at 50cm and 150cm respectively from either end of the tube.
(i) Draw a diagram showing all forces acting on the tube. (ii) Find the tension in each wire.

(ii) Describe an experiment you can carry out to determine the mass of a metre rule using the principal
of moments.
(b) A uniform half meter rule is pivoted at the 15cm mark and it balances horizontally when a body of
mass 40g is hung from the 2cm mark. Calculate the mass of the metre rule in grams.
(c) Give two applications of the principal of moments in daily life.

7.(a) Define the terms work and energy.


(ii) Mention any four sources of energy.
(b) State energy changes which occur in the following devices;
(i) Microphone (ii) Loud speaker (iii) Bicycle dynamo (iv) Hydroelectric power dam
(c) A brick of mass 2kg is dropped from a tall building, its kinetic energy just before impact with the
ground is 1600 joules. Calculate
(i) The velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground.
(ii) The height of the building.

8.(a) Distinguish between renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. Give two examples of each.
