PASS EXAMINATIONS IN MEDICINE.

AUTUMN, 1902.

FIRST EXAMINATION IN MEDICINE.

EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS.

SECTION A.

PROFESSOR MORTON.

1. Describe the action of any good form of air-pump. 2. Explain the principle of work as applied to machines. Take, as an example, the case of a pair of tongs.

3. Give an account of the defects of long and short sight, and explain clearly how they can be remedied by the use of lenses.

4. Explain how images are formed in a concave mirror. Mention any practical applications of such mirrors.

5. On what principles does the action of an ear-trumpet depend?

SECTION B.

PROFESSOR M'CLELLAND.

6. Two thermometers are inserted in the side of a vessel, one near the bottom and the other near the top, and the vessel is filled with water at 0° C. Heat is then applied to the bottom of the vessel until the water boils. Indicate generally how the thermometers rise in temperature.

7. Explain the term 'latent heat.' Illustrate your answer by examples.

8. How do you explain the fact that when a bar-magnet is broken, poles are produced where the break occurs?

9. Describe the construction of a tangent galvanometer, and show how it is used to measure currents.

10. How can a current be produced in a closed circuit without inserting a battery in the circuit? Explain as ully as you can.

PRACTICAL PHYSICS.

1. Find the volume of the test-tube up to the given mark.

2. Find the magnifying power of the given telescope.

3. Find which of the two terminals is at the higher potential.

CHEMISTRY.

[All Chemical changes must be expressed both in words and by equations. Candidates who neglect this instruction will not receive full credit for their answers.]

SECTION A.

PROFESSOR LETTS.

1. How may sulphurous acid be converted into sulphuric acid, and the latter back again into the former ? How would you describe in general terms each of these two processes?

2. Describe the method usually employed for obtaining nitrous oxide. What other gas does it resemble ? Give three different methods for distinguishing it from that gas.

3. Give an explanation of the fact that when sodium chloride is treated with strong sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid alone is evolved, whereas when sodium iodide is treated with the same reagent, both hydriodic acid and iodine are liberated.

4. What is understood by the term 'saponification'? Give two examples of the process.

5. A compound of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen contains 44.44 per cent. of carbon, and 3.70 per cent. of hydrogen. Also 59 54 c.c. of its vapour at 91° C. and 760 mm. pressure weigh 0.054 grams. Calculate its formula.

SECTION B.

PROFESSOR RYAN.

6. Describe briefly three methods for determining atomic weights of elements.

7. What is the action of heat on sulphur between temperatures of 0° and 1100° C. ?

8. Why is the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air approximately constant?

9. Describe the preparation and properties of iodoform. 10. Contrast the aldehydes and ketones of the fatty series.

PROFESSOR BLANEY.

1. Describe the minute structure of a vascular bundle. and indicate what is meant by concentric, collateral, and bi-collateral bundles.

2. Describe the appearances presented by a vertical section through a dorsiventral leaf, and give a brief account of the function of the various parts.

3. Describe the general structure of an angiospermous ovule (leaving out histological details), and distinguish between the different varieties of ovules.

4. Describe the principal modifications of underground and creeping stems.

SECTION B.

PROFESSOR CUNNINGHAM.

5. Give an account of your knowledge of the nature of protoplasm.
