Syllabus content4.5 (f) d.c. motorCore• State that a current-carrying coil in a magnetic fieldexperiences a turning effect and that the effect isincreased by increasing the number of turns on thecoil• Relate this turning effect to the action of an electricmotor4.6 Cathode-ray oscilloscopes4.6 (a) Cathode raysCore• Describe the production and detection ofcathode rays• Describe their deflection in electric fields• State that the particles emitted in thermionicemission are electrons4.6 (b) Simple treatment of cathode-ray oscilloscopeSupplement• Describe the effect of increasing thecurrentSupplement• Describe (in outline) the basic structureand action of a cathode-ray oscilloscope(detailed circuits are not required)• Use and describe the use of a cathode-rayoscilloscope to display waveforms5. Atomic physics5.1 Radioactivity5.1 (a) Detection of radioactivityCore• Show awareness of the existence of backgroundradiation• Describe the detection of α-particles, β -particlesand γ -rays (β + are not included and β -particles willbe taken to refer to β – )5.1 (b) Characteristics of the three kinds of emissionCore• State that radioactive emissions occur randomlyover space and time• State, for radioactive emissions:– their nature– their relative ionising effects– their relative penetrating abilities• Describe their deflection in electric fieldsand magnetic fields• Interpret their relative ionising effects30 Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625. Syllabus for examination in 2015.
Syllabus content5.1 (c) Radioactive decayCore• State the meaning of radioactive decay, usingequations (involving words or symbols) to representchanges in the composition of the nucleus whenparticles are emitted5.1 (d) Half-lifeCore• Use the term half-life in simple calculations, whichmight involve information in tables or decay curves5.1 (e) Safety precautionsCore• Describe how radioactive materials are handled,used and stored in a safe way5.2 The nuclear atom5.2 (a) Atomic modelCore• Describe the structure of an atom in terms of anucleus and electrons5.2 (b) NucleusCore• Describe the composition of the nucleus in terms ofprotons and neutrons• Use the term proton number, Z• Use the term nucleon number, AAUse the term nuclide and use the nuclide notation Z X5.2 (c) IsotopesSupplement• Describe how the scattering of α-particlesby thin metal foils provides evidence forthe nuclear atomSupplement• Use the term isotope• Give and explain examples of practicalapplications of isotopesCambridge IGCSE Physics 0625.
