AQA A LEVEL PHYSICS PAPER 2 EXAM
CERTIFICATION EVALUATION TEST 2026 FULL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
ALREADY PASSED GRADED A+
◉ PET Scan. Answer: Positron Emission Tomography
◉ Rest Energy. Answer: The amount of energy that would be
produced if all of a particle's mass was transformed into energy
◉ Fundamental Particle. Answer: A particle that cannot be split up
into smaller particles
◉ Stopping Potential. Answer: The work done by the potential
difference in stopping the fastest moving electrons
◉ Electron Volt. Answer: The kinetic energy that an electron has
after being accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1
volt
◉ 1 eV =. Answer: 1.6x10^-19 Joules
, ◉ Ground State. Answer: The lowest energy level that an electron
can occupy in an atom (n=1)
◉ Excitation. Answer: When an electron gains the exact amount of
energy needed to move up to a higher energy level in an atom
◉ Ionisation. Answer: The process when an electron gains enough
energy from a photon to leave the ground state of the atom that it's
in
◉ Ionisation Energy. Answer: The amount of energy needed to
remove an electron from the ground state of an atom
◉ Radian. Answer: The angle that is equal to the arc length divided
by the radius of the circle 2pi radians = 360 degrees
◉ Angular Speed. Answer: The angle an object rotated through per
second (omega = 2pi x frequency)
◉ Frequency. Answer: The number of complete revolutions per
second
◉ Light Damping. Answer: Stops oscillations over many time
periods (just air resistance etc)
