Paper 1 Wave-Particle Duality Answers
| Q | Answer | Reason |
|---|
| 1 | A | Duality is evidence-dependent modelling. |
| 2 | A | Photon energy depends on f. |
| 3 | A | Diffraction/interference are wave signatures. |
| 4 | C | The de Broglie relation is λ=h/p. |
| 5 | A | Inverse relation. |
| 6 | A | Diffraction is significant when dimensions match wavelength scale. |
| 7 | A | Photon momentum relation. |
| 8 | A | Localized hits plus interference pattern. |
| 9 | B | Larger kinetic energy gives larger momentum and shorter wavelength. |
| 10 | B | Avoid naive simultaneous classical pictures. |
| 11 | A | Electron diffraction from crystals. |
| 12 | D | Work done by the accelerating p.d. becomes kinetic energy: K=eV. |
| 13 | A | λ=h/mv non-relativistically. |
| 14 | B | Appreciable diffraction requires wavelength comparable to the relevant crystal-plane spacing. |
| 15 | A | Wave model predicts gradual energy absorption, contrary to threshold/no delay. |
| 16 | A | Classical particles do not diffract/interfere. |
| 17 | C | Threshold-frequency photoemission and one-photon energy transfer support the particulate model. |
| 18 | C | λ=h/p is tiny for macroscopic momentum. |
| 19 | B | Both E=hc/λ and p=h/λ decrease when wavelength increases. |
| 20 | D | Since λ=h/p, doubling p halves λ. |
