SUMMER, 1902.

FIRST EXAMINATION IN MEDICINE.

EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS.

SECTION A.

MR. HENRY.

1. Describe some method of finding the value of g.

2. How are the nodes distributed in an open organ-pipe sounding its first overtone? How is the pitch of the note affected by introducing hydrogen into the pipe instead of air?

3. What is meant by the illumination at a point? Show that it varies inversely as the square of the distance from the source of light.

4. State the laws of refraction. Describe how they may verified experimentally.

5. Explain, with the aid of diagrams, the action of an ordinary magnifying glass.

SECTION B.

PROFESSOR M'CLELLAND.

6. Describe thermometers suitable for measuring maximum and minimum temperatures.

7. Explain what is meant by specific heat and latent heat, and describe how you would determine the specific heat of mercury.

8. How would you show that equal amounts of positive and negative electricity are produced in all cases of electrification by friction?

9. Define the term 'intensity of magnetisation.' Describe and explain how a bar of iron can be magnetised (a) by a magnet, (b) by an electric current.

10. State Ohm's law, and specify the units used for the various quantities involved in it.

PRACTICAL PHYSICS.

1. Find the weight of 1 c.cm. of the given liquid. 2. Find the focal length of the concave mirror.

3. Find the sign of the charge on the given electrified body.

CHEMISTRY.

SECTION A.

PROFESSOR LETTS.

1. By what experiments would you prove

(a) That carbonic anhydride contains its own volume of oxygen;

(b) That air contains about one-fifth of its own volume of oxygen;

(c) That two volumes of hydrogen and one volume of oxygen give two volumes of steam?

2. One gram of a dyad metal when dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid causes the evolution of 0.931 litres of hydrogen at N. T. P. Calculate the atomic weight of the metal and the weight of sulphuric acid decomposed.

3. Sketch the apparatus you would use, and describe the method you would employ for obtaining a saturated aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid.

8. What is stearine, and what is its formula? What products are obtained when it is acted upon (a) by water, (b) by potash?

9. Give the generic formula for the monatomic saturated fatty acids.

State three methods of preparing any one member of the series.

10. Give two methods for the preparation of caustic potash.

BOTANY.
