Physics HL Sample Paper

The document contains sample answers for Grade 11 (Higher Level) physics questions, discussing concepts such as ideal gases, pressure changes, energy levels in atoms, and nuclear decay. It explains the behavior of gases under varying conditions, the structure of atoms, and the energy dynamics during nuclear processes. Key principles include the Rutherford model, Bohr's energy levels, and the energy released during nuclear decay.

A gas in which there are no intermolecular forces
or A gas that obeys the ideal gas law/all gas laws at all pressures, volumes and temperatures
or Molecules have zero PE/only KE

Volume has increased and KE remains same. So, molecules collide with
the walls less frequently. Hence rate of change of momentum at wall
has decreased and so pressure has decreased

water is pumped back up at times when the demand for price


of electricity is low as later when demand is high
can be send at higher price

Most of the mass of the atom is confined within a very small


volume or nucleus.
All the positive charge is confined within a very small volume or nucleus
Electrons orbit the nucleus in circular orbits.

Upon considering Rutherford model, the electrons accelerate and so


radiate energy. They would therefore spiral into the nucleus and
atoms would be unstable.
Electrons must have discrete energy levels. The only orbits where
electrons do not radiate are those that satisfy the Bohr condition.

The energy released is


3.54 − 0.48 =3.06 MeV
This energy is shared by the electron and the antineutrino,
So, the electron’s energy varies from 0 to 3.06 MeV

the palladium nucleus emits the photon when it decays into


the ground state from the excited state
