A physicist investigates how light intensity varies with distance from a light bulb. He

sets up the apparatus as shown.

Mark on the diagram the exact distance d he should measure.

Distance marked from filament (allow centre of bulb) to front surface of LDR

1 Mark

State why the resistance R of the LDR will increase as it gets further away from the

bulb.

(As distance increases) light intensity decreases (and resistance increases

with decreasing intensity)

State the most important quantity to control to ensure a fair test and explain how the

physicist might control it.

Light from other sources (1)

Any suitable means of controlling outside light such as excluding it

(darkened room) or using a tube as a shield on the LDR (1)

The relationship between R and d is given by

where k and p are constants.

Explain why a graph of ln R against ln d will give a straight line.

Shows expansion ln R = plnd + lnk (1)

Compares with y = mx + c Or States that the gradient is p

He measures R for different values of d and records the following results.

Plot a graph of ln R against ln d. Use the column(s) provided to show any processed

data.

Ln & log values correct and to 3 SF consistently (allow 4SF for the values

for ln R greater than one) (1)
