Failure of one lamp does not affect the others (1 mark)

10. X rays ionise air molecules between plates

Ions move to plates of opposite sign

11. Sun being hotter produces short wavelength infrared waves which penetrate glass; buming wood produces long wavelength infrared waves which do not penetrate glass.

12. K=E- T

13 Arsenic shares 4 of its 5 electrons with germanium.

the extra electron is free for conduction.
