I'm pretty sure this is the right version.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments about the exam!

I'll try to answer Unome's question:|1. DEM L241 2. From top to bottom, radio, xray, gamma 3. 2? I'm basing this on how many dots appear to be on top of each other. However I'm really not sure if this is how the question was supposed to be answered. 4. The bottom graph is gamma, and the system is a...

What is Compton scattering? Is it elastic or inelastic? What general type of EM radiation does it affect? Describe the mechanism by which it functions. Answer:|Compton scattering is scattering of a photon from a charged particle (usually an electron) . It is inelastic: the energy of the photon is d...

Consider an f/4 refracting telescope with an aperture diameter of 550mm, and an f/14 telescope. a. which telescope would be better for taking pictures? b. which telescope would be better for making precise observations, and why? c. Name three typical abberations. What is a coma and how do you fix i...

there's no way I would know this if I hadn't read the paper that this graph came from a few months ago, but the blue lines are constant magnetic field strength since its basically proportional to sqrt(P*Pdot) , the green lines are constant characteristic age since thats P/(2*Pdot) , and the light bl...

Answer:|A helium neon laser has a cavity filled with a mixture of helium and neon (85% He) with an anode and cathode at opposite ends plus a reflector at the back, a laser bore tube in the middle for the beam to form in, and an "output coupler" (aka a mirror with 1% transmittance) at the ...

Unome and everyone really, could you please use image hosting site imgbb instead of imgur or something else so that PM2017, Jonboyage, and I (probably others too) can access the images at school? No need to re-post, just for the future. Thanks

Overall, a great competition! I'll provide some feedback on the events. Astronomy: Really good test in my opinion. The questions were interesting. It wasn't too short or too long (although there's almost no such thing as too long in this kind of event). Hovercraft: It was run well and the test was g...

Thats a good explanation for quantum tunneling, but im not quite sure what you mean by "in opposite directions" and where "both are very low". For quantum tunneling you got it: it allows particles to get close enough to fuse while their thermal energy doesn't under classical phys...
