4. (a) What is an intrinsic semiconductor?

(b) Distinguish between the p-type and n-type semi-conductors.

5.A missile is projected so as to attain its maximum range. Calculate the maximum height attained if the initial velocity of projection is 200 ms−¹. [g = 10ms−²]

6. A black body radiates maximum energy when its surface temperature T and the corresponding wavelength λmax are related by the equation $\lambda$max T = constant. Given the values of the constant and surface temperature as 2.9 x 103 mK and 57°C respectively; Calculate the frequency of the energy radiated.

7. a) What does the acronym LASER stand for?

b) What is a laser?

8. (a) Define uniform acceleration.

(b) Forces act on a car in motion. List the

(i) horizontal forces and their directions;

(ii) vertical forces and their directions

(c) A car starts from rest and accelerate uniformly for 20s to attain a speed of 25 ms1. It maintains this speed for 30s before decelerating uniformly to rest. The total time for the journey is 60s.

(i) Sketch a velocity-tune graph for the motion.

(ii) Use the graph to determine the (α$\alpha$) total distance travelled by the car ($\beta$) deceleration of the car.

The figure here illustrates force-extension graph for a stretched spiral spring. Determine the work done on the spring.
