energy for a space shuttle.)
Above the equator of the Earth. the Earth's magnetic field runs horizontally in the south·
north direction.A space-shuttle flying from west to east above the equator cuts perpendicularly
across the magnetic field as shown in the diagram below.A small satellite is attached to the
shuttle by a very long thin copper cable. It is proposed to use the e.m.f generated in the cable as
a source of electrical energy for the shuttle.

(c)(i) Interference is the superposition of two coherent waves to produce 1
points of maximum and minimum amplitudefintensrty.

( il) Two conditions for well·defined interference are:

-both waves are coherent and same or almost the same amplitude . 2

(d)(i) Interference at G is constructive interference. 1

Intererence at H is destructive interference. 1

(e) Continuous spectrum is produced when fast electrons from the cathode
are decelerated on collision with the target . The decrease in energy of
the decelerated electrons is radiated as photons in the continuous
spectrum . 2

Characteristic X-ray is produced when a vacancy in the inner shell

(e.g . K-shell) of the target atom is filled by an electron from a higher
shell .
The difference in energ y of the electron is radiated as a characteristic 2
X-ray photon.
