When light is incident on the front of a photocell, an e.m.f. is generated in the photocell.
A student wishes to investigate the effect of adding various thicknesses of glass in front of
a photocell. This may be carried out in the laboratory by varying the number of identical thin
glass sheets between a light source and the front of the photocell.
It is suggested that the e.m.f. V is related to the number n of glass sheets by the equation
V = V0e nt
where t is the thickness of one sheet, is the absorption coefficient of glass and V0 is the
e.m.f. for n = 0.
Design a laboratory experiment to determine the absorption coefficient of glass. You should
draw a diagram, on page 3, showing the arrangement of your equipment. In your account
you should pay particular attention to
(a) the procedure to be followed,
(b) the measurements to be taken,
(c) the control of variables,
(d) the analysis of the data,
(e) the safety precautions to be taken.

A student wishes to investigate projectile motion.

A small ball is rolled with velocity v along a horizontal surface. When the ball reaches the
end of the horizontal surface, it falls and lands on a lower horizontal surface. The vertical
displacement of the ball is p and the horizontal displacement of the ball is q, as shown in
Fig 1.1.
v
Fig. 1.1
It is suggested that
gq 2 = 2pv 2
where g is the acceleration of free fall.
Design a laboratory experiment to investigate how q is related to p and how v may be
determined from the results. You should draw a diagram, on page 3, showing the arrangement
of your equipment. In your account you should pay particular attention to

The op-amp is connected to a +18 V and 18 V power supply.
E is the e.m.f. of the cell, which has a value of 1.6 0.1 V.
An experiment is carried out to investigate how the reading V on the voltmeter varies with
resistance R.
