AS level Physics - AQA A Level May 2024
Exam Questions and Answers
Acceleration - Answer>> The rate of change of velocity
Accurate result - Answer>> A result that is close to the true
answer
Apha decay - Answer>> A type of decay in which an unstable
nucleus of an atom emits an alpha particle
Alternating current - Answer>> A current that changes with time
in a regular cycle
Ammeter - Answer>> A component used to measure the
current flowing through a circuit
Amplitude - Answer>> The maximum displacement of a wave
Angle of incidence - Answer>> The angle that incoming light
makes to the normal or a boundry
Angle of refraction - Answer>> The angle that incoming light
makes to the normal of a boundary
Annihilation - Answer>> The process by which a particle and its
antiparticle meet and their mass gets converted to energy in the
form of a pair of gamma ray photons
Anomalous result - Answer>> A result that doesn't fit in with the
pattern of the other results in a set of data
, Antimatter - Answer>> The name given to all antiparticles
Antineutrino - Answer>> The antiparticle of a neutrino
Antiparticle - Answer>> A particle with the same rest mass and
energy as its corresponding particle but equal and opposite
charge
Atom - Answer>> A particle made up of protons and neutrons in
a central nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus
Atomic number - Answer>> The number of protons in an atom
of an element
Baryon - Answer>> A type of hardon made up of three quarks
Baryon number - Answer>> The number of baryons in a particle
Beta-minus decay - Answer>> A type of decay in which an
unstable nucleus of an atom emits a beta-minus particle (an
electron) and an antineutrino
Breaking stress - Answer>> The lowest stress that is big
enough to break a material
Brittle - Answer>> A brittle material doesn't deform plastically
but snaps when the stress on it reaches a certain point `
Brittle fracture - Answer>> When a stress app;lied to a brittle
material causes tiny cracks at the materials surface to get bigger
until the material breaks completely
