Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises the Physics Paper 2 (Theory) Kenya High School 2024 Mock Exam as a KCSE Trial Exam. The marking scheme is in a different document.

  This theory paper is divided into two sections, A and B, both of which are compulsory. Section A consists of 12 short-answer questions, while Section B contains 5 longer, structured questions. The entire examination is marked out of 80 and has a duration of 2 hours. Candidates are instructed to show all their working and are permitted to use silent, non-programmable electronic calculators.

  The paper assesses a broad range of topics primarily from the following areas of physics:

  • Waves: This includes questions on reflection, diffraction, the electromagnetic spectrum, and sound waves (echoes, interference, and speed calculations).
  • Electricity and Magnetism: This area covers electric fields, magnetic induction, capacitance, advantages of different battery types, and current electricity, including Ohm's law, circuit analysis (series and parallel), and ammeter readings.
  • Geometrical Optics: A significant portion of the paper is dedicated to optics, testing concepts like refraction (Snell's Law), total internal reflection, and lenses. Questions involve calculating refractive index, determining focal length from a graph, drawing ray diagrams, and solving problems using the lens formula.
  • Modern Physics: A question on the photoelectric effect tests the understanding of energy conversion in a photocell.
