    AP Physics 2 Session 1 – MCQ

    1. A block is submerged in a container of liquid and held under the surface of the liquid by a string
    connected to the bottom of the container, as shown in the figure above. The tension in the string is
    not zero. How does the buoyant force FB exerted by the liquid on the block compare to the block’s
    weight W?

    a. FB < W
    b. FB = W
    c. FB > W
    d. Either FB < W or FB > W, depending on the density of the liquid.

    5. In the circuit represented below, two resistors (R1 and R2), a capacitor C, and an open switch S are
    connected to a battery. The circuit reaches equilibrium. The switch is then closed, and the circuit is
    allowed to come to a new equilibrium. Which of the following is a true statement about the energy stored
    in the capacitor after the switch is closed compared with the energy stored in the capacitor before the
    switch is closed?

    b. The energy is less.
    c. The energy is the same.
    d. The energy cannot be determined without knowing the resistances of the resistors.

    6. A student performs an experiment to determine the index of refraction of a plastic block. The student
    shines a laser beam from air (nair = 1) into a piece of plastic (nplastic) at an angle of incidence θ1 and
    measures the angle of refraction θ2 as shown in Figure 1. Measurements are taken as θ1 is increased.
    From the data the student produces the two graphs shown. Which of the following is equal to the
    index of refraction of the plastic block?

    a. The slope of the best-fit line for graph 1


    b. The slope of the best-fit line for graph 2
    c. The inverse of the slope of the best-fit line for graph 1
    d. The inverse of the slope of the best-fit line for graph 2

    7. The energy states for an electron in a hypothetical atom are represented above. A cold sample of gas
    of such atoms is illuminated by a brief flash of light with a continuous spectrum. The atoms are then
    observed to emit light with discrete wavelengths. Which of the following transitions produces the
    longest wavelength light?
    a. 5 to 4
    b. 4 to 3
    c. 3 to 2
    d. 2 to 1

    8. A beam of electrons is incident on a crystal, creating a diffraction pattern. How should the speed of
    the electrons be changed to increase the separation of the spacing of the maxima in the pattern, and
    why would the pattern change?
    a. The speed should be increased, because that would increase the de Broglie wavelength of
    the electrons.
    b. The speed should be increased, because that would decrease the de Broglie wavelength of
    the electrons.
    c. The speed should be decreased, because that would increase the de Broglie wavelength of
    the electrons.
    d. The speed should be decreased, because that would decrease the de Broglie wavelength of
    the electrons.
