The principle of conservation of momentum states that the momentum of a system is conserved in
the absence of external forces..[1]
The ball is subject to the external force of gravity, so we would not expect its momentum to be
conserved. .[1]

hence it speeds up.
10. a) i) An ideal gas is one that obeys the gas law : PV = RT exactly and under all conditions of
temperature and pressure .[2]
ii) - real gas obeys the gas law PV = RT only approximately within a certain range of temperature

12. a) The single slit acts as a source of light the waves from which are then diffracted by each of the
double slits. The double slits act as two coherent sources.
These diffracted waves overlap and superpose at the screen to give a bright or a dark region of the
interference pattern.
The interference formed (the dark and the bright fringes) depending on the path difference
(depending on how far they travel to get to P)
Path difference = or 2, etc they are in phase and form bright fringe
Path difference = or 3/2, etc they are out of phase and form dark fringe.

The above effect would be different if a photon of energy 7.0 eV is incident on the atom..1
