This document contains an unsolved physics exam paper from 1997 consisting of multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions testing concepts in physics. The multiple choice questions cover topics like kinetic energy of gas molecules, gas laws, circular motion in magnetic fields, blackbody radiation, Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, semiconductor diodes, photoelectric effect, and circuits. The fill-in-the-blank questions require calculating values like forces, equivalent resistances, voltage readings, frequencies and wavelengths of light in different media, lens properties, moments of inertia, and more. The document provides the questions and diagrams but no answers.
