01.2 Strong nuclear circled 1
01.3 Charge 1 +1 = 1 + X X = 1 Any order 1
Baryon number 0 + 1 = 0 + X X = 1 1
Strangeness 0 + 0 = 1 + X X = -1 1
01.4 Weak nuclear circled 1
01.5 Strangeness of X is -1, First mark is for showing that strangeness changes
The strangeness of the pion and neutron are both zero Second is for stating that this can only happen if the 1
The strangeness changes from -1 to 0
interaction is weak.
This can only occur in weak interactions. 1

First mark is for the proton 1
Second is for the beta minus and antineutrino. 1

01.7 The only particles remaining are electrons/positrons and 1 1
neutrinos/antineutrinos which are stable
And a proton which is the only stable baryon 1 1
02.1 The process involves the ejection of electrons which are
negatively charged. 1
Any electrons ejected will only make the positive charge
greater.

02.2 The mark scheme gives some guidance as to what
statements are expected to be seen in a 1 or 2 mark (L1), 3
or 4 mark (L2) and 5 or 6 mark (L3) answer. Guidance
provided in section 3.10 of the ‘Mark Scheme Instructions’
document should be used to assist in marking this
question.
The following statements are likely to be present
To demonstrate threshold frequency:
The metal should be kept the same, and the light source
varied.
Using any metal, and light sources 1 and 3,
no charge will be lost with light source 1
but charge will be lost with light source 3
because light source three has a greater photon energy
and therefore frequency (from E=hf)
and is above the threshold frequency
as the photon energy is greater than the work function of the
metal
but light source 1 has a photon energy less than the work
function of the metal
so its frequency is below the threshold frequency.
To demonstrate work function
The light source should be kept the same, and the metal
varied
Use light source 2 as the other two will either cause all three
metals to lose their charge, or none of the metals to lose their
charge.
Use each metal in turn, so that zinc loses its charge, due to
its low work function, but copper and iron do not lose their
charge.

Mark Criteria QoWC
6 Both ideas fully
analysed, with full
discussion of
alternatives.
The student presents
relevant information
coherently, employing
structure, style and
sp&g to render meaning
clear. The text is legible.
5 Both ideas analysed
with supporting
discussion but without
alternatives
4 Both ideas analysed,
with one dealt with
satisfactorily and the
other with some
supporting discussion
The student presents
relevant information and
in a way which assists
the communication of
meaning. The text is
legible. Sp&g are
sufficiently accurate not
to obscure meaning.
3 Both ideas analysed,
with only one dealt with
satisfactorily
2 One idea analysed with
some supporting
discussion
The student presents
some relevant
information in a simple
form. The text is usually
legible. Sp&g allow
meaning to be derived
