CHEMISRY TEASER - 2016




i) State two conditions necessary for the interference of light to occur                                                 ( 2 mks )
ii) A monochromatic light of wavelength 5.6 x 10-7 Passes through a double slit and forms 8 fringes of width 
     0.32cm. If the screen is 0.7m away from the slit, find the separation of the slits                               ( 3 mks )
      iii) What is monochromatic light                                                                                       ( 1 mk )
b)   A string vibrates at 25Hz. The speed of the wave on the string is 20ms-1. Calculate the distance between two
      successive crests     ( 2 mks )
                                                                                                          

c) Explain the term resonance and state:-
       i) One hazard caused by the Phenomenon                                                                       ( 2 mks )
      ii) A tube closed at one end resonates first at 12cm and second at 37cm. Calculate the frequency of the tuning
          fork used given that speed of sound is 330ms-1                                                            ( 3 mks )
      ii) What would be the source of error if only one resonance length was used                                        ( 1 mk )
      iv) State two factors that affect the frequency of a vibrating string                                                        ( 1 mk )
