AS Β· Practical skills: uncertainties & data handling (Modules 1–2)

A student estimates the acceleration a of a trolley down a shallow ramp from measurements of distance s and time t using a = 2s/t^2. They record s = 0.80 m with a metre rule (resolution 1 mm) and t β‰ˆ 1.2 s with a hand-held stopwatch (about Β±0.20 s per timing). They want to cut the percentage uncertainty in a to roughly half without changing the type of equipment. Which change should they make? Assume the true acceleration does not change.

A2 Β· Quantum II: photoelectric effect; stopping potential; work function; de Broglie wavelength (intro)

In a lab, a clean metal photocathode with threshold frequency f0 is illuminated by monochromatic light of frequency 1.20 f0 and intensity I. The magnitude of the reverse potential needed to reduce the photocurrent to zero is measured as Vs1. The light frequency is then increased by 10% (to 1.32 f0) while the intensity is halved to I/2. Which statement must be true about the new stopping potential magnitude Vs2?
