SCIENCE
eee
Science : The word science comes from the Latin word Scientia
which implies Knowledge. The Science as a subject has come to mean the
aystematic, consistent and excellent study of the physical world including,
everything that can be seen, observed or detected in nature by the man
and society and the knowledge that grows out of such study. Usually
the science is characterized by the methodologies and approaches of
the hypothesises, postulates, assumptions, theories and laws based upon
experimental observations and mathematical conclusions.
The science is broadly categorized into two groups— Natural science
and Social science. Natural science deals with nature or physical world
while social science deals with the subjects like sociology, economics,
political science, human geography etc. Here in this book we are concerned
about natural science only. Natural science is broadly divided into =
1, Physical science (studies concerned with non-living matter).
2. Life science or Biological science (studies concerned with living
matter).
On the macro-level physical science consists of Physics.and Chemistry
while life science (Biology) consists of Botany and Zoology.
The contents of the Astronomy and Computer (especially their
elementary and fundamental concepts)are today also assumed (considered)
to be the part of the conventional science.
At present research and development activities in various branches
of natural science like astrophysics, geophysics, biophysics, biochemistry,
genetics, virology, evolution and ecology etc. are going on in earnest.

system of Units
Usually physical quantities are measured in four systems of units.
(i) CGS System (Centimeter/Gram/Second System) : In this system
of units Length, Mass and Time are measured in Centimeter, Gram and
ose Second respectively. CGS system is also called Metric or French System of
Units.
(ii) FPS System (Foot/Pound/Second System) : In this system of units
©
es Length, Mass and Time are measured in Foot, Pound and Second. FPS
system is also called British System of Units.
t (iii) MKS System (Meter / Kilogram /Second System) : In this system
& of units Length, Mass and Time are measured in Meter, Kilogram and
S Second.
(iv) SI System (International System of Units) : In the International
i Conference of Weights and Measures held at Geneva in 1960 the SI System
of Units was adopted and accepted on the basis of a comprehensive
consensus. In fact SI system is extended and modified form of the MKS
System.
There are Seven Fundamental Units and two Supplementary Units in
Slsystem.
Seven Fundamental Units of SI System :
(i) Length : In SI System Length is measured in meter and is defined

Gi) Mass : In SI system Mass is measured in Kilogram and is defined
as—
The amount of the mass of a cylindrical alloy of Platinum-Iridium
kept at International Bureau of Weight and Measure at Severis in France is
called 1 kilogram.
(iii) Time : In SI system Time is measured in second and it is defined
as—
In the transition of two hyper fine levels of energy in the ground state
of an atom of Cesium-133 by means of radiation between an interval of
9192631770 time-periods is called 1 second.
Einstein in his special Theory of Relativity used Time as fourth
coordinate in Space-Time coordinate system.

(ii) Projectile Motion : If a body is projected upward with a certain
initial velocity « making an angle 6 with horizontal direction, then the body
describes a two dimensional motion whose path (trajectory) is parabolic
and such a body is called projectile.
Here a unique physical phenomenon
occurs. As the body starts its motion there
is no acceleration in its horizontal direction,
but the vertical direction there is a
constant acceleration (acceleration due to
=e gravity). Thus, in the projectile motion the
body describes its horizontal motion with
constant velocity and its vertical motion
with constant acceleration.
Terms and Expressions associated with projectile motion.

sDiewton’s Laws of Motion : Firstly in 1687 Sir Isaac Newton, who was
great mathematician of his timé, Bropounded the laws of notion in his
book Principia. ‘There are three laws of motion. —
First Law (Law of Inertia) : A bod: i
w(L Inertia) : ly continues in its state of rest or

(iii) Before taking a long jump an athlete runs for a while and then
jakes a leap. By running for a while he gains inertia of motion which helps
pim take a longer jump.
(iv) While alighting from a slowly moving train one must run for a
short while in the direction of the moving train and then let off the train.
When you set your foot on the ground, the lower part of your body comes
to rest instantaneously but the upper part of the body continues to move
an the direction of the train. Due to relative displacement you are liable to
fall forward and hurt yourself. If you ran for a short while all the parts
‘of the body will be in the same state and hence there will be no relative
Gisplacement of the different parts of the body.
Second Law (Law of Measurement of Force) : The rate of change of
inear momentum (p = mv) of a body is proportional to the force applied
and it takes place in the direction of the force. ie] F «

on, Fake) — on A rene mass m is 6
nt)
Where, k = proportionality constant
= ka (as a ~ 4 ~ acceleration)
If the proportionality constant k =1 then F = ma.
=» Force = mass x acceleration.
IfF =ma=m e =0, then no acceleration would be produced.
If the acceleration of the body is zero (a = @ = 0) then the body will
move either with a constant velocity or be in a position of rest. This implies
that in the absence of an external force the body either moves with constant
velocity or comes to rest. This also concludes that in the absence of an
external force the inertia of a body is conserved.
‘Third Law (Law of Action and Reaction): To every action, there is an
equal and opposite reaction. Action and reaction act on different bodies.
Stace their les of action are different, the resultant force is not zero, This
is Newton's Third law of motion.
Examples : (i) A rocket whose mass decreases continuously due to
ejected mass in the form of gases during its forward motion.
Gi) During firing of a bullet the gun recoils back with a great force.
(iii) To drive water boat forward the bamboo stick is pressed into the
land of water.
(iv) During pulling water from the wel
the man falls behind the well.
Units of Force : The S.1. Unit of force is Newton. Forces are defined by
Newton’s first law of motion and measured by ‘Newton’s second law of
motion.

i Rocket Motion (A system of variable mass) : The basic principle on
which Rocket motion occurs or a Rocket is propelled is the Newton’s third
Jaw of motion and the law of conservation of linear momentum.
A typical example of variable mass system is that of a rocket motion
from which hot gases keep on escaping, thereby continuously decreasing
7 its mass. A rocket may use either a liquid or a solid fuel. In the former
case the fuel (like liquid H, or liquid paraffin) and a suitable oxidizer (like
O,, H,O, or HNO,), stored up in separate chamber are injected into a
combustion chamber where the fuel is burnt. In the latter case, the fuel
itself carries its own oxidizer and hence a separate chamber is not needed.
In both cases large quantity of the heat of combustion is produced, which
largely raises the internal pressure and temperature of the chamber and
burnt up gases (like CO, steam etc) are pumped out from an orifice at the
back or the tail end of the rocket in the form of a high velocity stream
called the jet. Consequently the rocket is propelled forward (opposite to
the direction of the jet). Here the momentum lost by the jet of the fuel gases
must be equal to the momentum gained by the rocket.

Nov.kg, gravitational force for smaller bodies is negligible
and can not be realized
Weak Force : The concept of weak force came into existence firstly
in Yukawa’s meson theory when explanation of f|—decay was propounded.
In the atomic nucleus, electron emission (f — particle decay) takes place
spontaneously during the conversion of neutron into a proton by ejecting
ammeson. This x meson decays almost instantly into an electron (e-) and
an anti neutrino (¥).
Thus: n (neutron) + p (proton) + x! (n-meson) -* p (proton) + ©
(electron) decay + ¥ (anti neutrino)
Here neutron is converted into proton by the exchange of x-meson and
consequently interaction between electron (f-decay) and antineutrino is
due to weak interaction.
(iii) Electromagnetic Force : Electromagnetic force operates on all
charged particles and provides atomic and molecular binding forces. Thus
electromagnetic interactions are charge-dependent (attractive as well as
repulsive).
The electric and magnetic forces compose the electromagnetic force
which acts by means of photon or quanta. If both el. etic
forces exist, then it is called Lorentz’s force given by |F = qE + quB sint
Where,
Charge of the particle Ic
= Electric field strength gas denege!
Velocity of the charged particle
B = Magnetic field intensity
0 = Angle between velocity and magnetic field
(iv) Nuclear Force (Strong Force): Among all the forces found in nature,
nuclear force is the Strongest force which basically exists within atomic
fiaeleus between proton-proton, proton-neutron, and neutron-neutron
within the range up to 10-™ meter. Experimental evidences OF the nuclear
Phyeies observe that nuclear forces are primarily attractive, non-electrical,
non-gravitational (not central forces), extremely strong but spin dependent
and the magnitude of the force is same for proton-proton, proton-neutron
and neutron-neutron. Explanation of the nuclear forces was given in detail
by Yukawa’s Menson’s theory. Some scientists also assume that the nuclear
forces originate through the mutual interaction of two quarks.

“Example : (i) Ifa man is travelling in a car in a straight line path and
the car suddenly turns right, then the man realises a severe shock (push)
towards the left. This happens because as the car turns, a centripetal force
around the radius of curvature of the path is generated which is counter-
batanced by the force of friction of the wheels of the car. But this centripetal
force is not balanced by the man, so a shock is felt by the man which comes
through the virtue of inertia. This is the required centrifugal force which
acts outwardly.
Gi) The person sitting in a merry-go-round realises an outer push
tangentially due to the appearance of a centrifugal force.
In the study of any physical phenomenon, the position of a system or
body is made to be fixed and the distances of other bodies are measured
called reference frames. It is of two types (i) Inertial (Non-accelerating)
and (ii) Non-inertial (accelerating).
Inertial frames are those in which inertia of any body remains
conserved. Thus this frame is either in rest or in a uniform motion ina
straight line i.e. no force, no acceleration concept exists.
But if the force or the acceleration exists in a particular frame it is
called non-inertial. Newton's laws of motion are applicable only in inertial
frame of reference.
Application
Centrifuge : A device by means of which light particles and heavy
particles are separated to each other.
() Cream Separator : In a cream separator, a vessel containing milk
is rotated fast. Being lighter the cream collects in a cylindrical layer around
the axis, whence it is drawn off and the skimmed milk is drained through
an outlet fitted on the wall of the vessel. The particles, whose density is less
than that of the liquid, are driven towards the axis of rotation and those
whose density is greater than that of the liquid are driven away from the
axis. Cream is lighter than milk, so it is separated from milk and collected
at the axis.
(i) The Centrifugal Drier : In laundries wet clothes are dried by
packing them in a cylindrical vessel with perforated walls which rotated
with a very high speed. Water particles stick to the cloths with a certain
force which is called adhesive force. The water particles are not sufficient
to keep them moving uniformly in a circle.
Torque or Moment of a force : The
turning effect of a force about a point or a line
is called the moment of force about that point
or line which is called the axis of rotation. The
turning effect of a force is dependent on the
magnitude of the force and the perpendicular F
distance of its line of action from the axis of
rotation.

Equilibrium of Bodies : When a body under the action of several
forces neither moves in a straight line nor rotates around a point then it is
said to be in equilibrium.
Conditions for equilibrium ; (i) The vector sum of all forces acting on
a body along any assigned direction for translational equilibrium must be
zero. Thus no linear motion occurs.
(ii) The algebraic sum of moments (torques) of all the forces acting on
a body about any assigned point or line for rotational equilibrium must
vanish (being zero). Thus no angular acceleration must exist.
If three forces acting on a particle as shown in the
figure are capable of being represented in magnitude
and direction by the three sides of a triangle taken in
order, they (force) produce an equilibrium.
‘Types of Equilibrium : There are three types of
equilibrium (i) Stable equilibrium (ii) Unstable equilibrium (iii) Neutral
equilibrium.
(i) Stable equilibrium : When a body is in equilibrium in such a way
that a slight displacement from this position produces a restoring force
tending to return the body to the previous equilibrium, then body is said to
be in stable equilibrium. In stable equilibrium the body possesses minimum
potential energy.
(ii) Unstable equilibrium : When a body is in an equilibrium in such
a way that any displacement from this position produces a force tending
to push the body farther from the equilibrium position, then it is said to be
in unstable equilibrium. In this equilibrium position the body possesses
maximum energy.

The power of Machines are expressed in Horse Power (H.P.) and

Watt-second (Ws) - Itis a unit of work.
Watt-hour (Wh) ~ It is also another unit of work,

Kilo Watt-hour (kWh) - It is also the unit of work (energy)

4. Gravitation
Gravitation is the weakest interaction or force among all the four types
of interactions existing in our Universe. Each and every body interacts
(attracts) each other by virtue of its mass. This is called Gravitation.
Newton's Law of Gravitation
In our universe the force of interaction acting among any two bodies is
directly proportional to the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the bodies.
If m,, m, be the masses of two bodies at r distance then according, to “he

= 6.67 x 10°" Nm?kg?
Gravity : As in Newton’s law of gravitation the forces of interaction
exist among any two bodies, but if in these two bodies one body is the
Earth, then this gravitation is called gravity and by this force of gravity the
Earth attracts everybody towards its centre. If a body is projected upwards
freely, then due to the force of gravity it falls back.
Acceleration due to gravity (g) : If a body is dropped freely and it
executes a free falling motion, then as the body comes near the Earth’s
surface then its velocity increases and the acceleration produced is called
acceleration due to gravity. If m be the mass of any body describing a free
falling motion then due to the presence of force of gravity the weight of the

Planets and Satellites : Planets are the celestial bodies revolving
around the elliptical orbits of the sun in our solar system. But the heavenly
bodies revolving around the planets are called satellites. The Earth is the
planet of the sun and the moon is a satellite (natural) of the Earth. The
planets and satellites draw their light and energy from the sun becatise the
have no energy of their own, There are so many artificial satellites like”.
Geostationary satellites, Sputnik-1, Aryabhatta, Rohini and Apple whi

Obviously from the expression of the orbital velocity of the satellite,
the value of vg doesn’t depend upon the mass (m) of the satellite rather it
depends on the height (h) of the satellite, and the larger the value of h the
lesser would be the value of vg, But satellites having various masses with
the same orbital radius have the same orbital velocity.
The value of orbital velocity of the earth and a geostationary satellite is,
7.99 km/sec. (approx. 8 km/sec.)
Period of revolution of a satellite : The time required in which the
satellite completes one rotation is called the period of revolution (T).

(1).
The period of the revolution of the earth or a geostationary satellite is
84 minutes.
Geostationary Satellite : A geostationary satellite is a communication
satellite which revolves from west to east and whose period of revolution
is 24 hrs equal to that of axial rotation of the earth (earth’s spin). Such
satellites are stationary and are located at 36,000 km height from the earth’s
surface. Geostationary satellites (Communication Satellites) transmit
signals across larger distances by receiving these signals from one point on
earth’s surface and reflecting them down to the another point. In order to
provide a stationary target for the transmitted signals, these satellites must
remain stationary at a point above the earth.
Utilities :(i) The electromagnetic radio-waves are reflected and
transmitted and various programmes on the television are displayed.
Itis utilised in radio transmission and telecommunication.
The Meteorological Department uses it in weather broadcasting,
and in earlier predictions of the floods and droughts.

Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion : Kepler gave 7
three laws regarding motion of the planets around the
sun.
(First law (law of elliptical orbits) : Each planet
moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun, the
sun being at one of the foci of the ellipse.
Gi) Second law (laws of areas): The radius vector of any planet relative
to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times, that is the real
velocity of the radius vector of the planet is constant.
Gil) Third law (harmonic laws): The square of the period of revolution
of any planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the
semi-major axis of the elliptical orbit. i
where; a= semi-major axis
Obviously, those planets which are far away from the sun have a large
period of revolution. The planet Mercury which is nearest to the sun has
the period of revolution of 88 days while Neptune, which is far away from
the sun, has the period of revolution of 165 years.
5. Properties of Matter
Matter : Matter is the substance that occupies space and has mass and
it is perceptible to the senses. Matter is one of the two basic components of
the physical science in which the another component is being energy. The
uishing properties of matter are gravitation and inertia. Any entity
exhibiting these properties at rest is matter. All material bodies have mass,
which is a measure of inertia and every material body near the earth's
gravitational field interacts by the virtue of its mass.
Thus two types of masses—inertial mass and gravitational mass remain
in existence by their proportion of equality.
The broad classification of the matter is given as below—

(A) ELASTICITY
If a rigid body is in equilibrium under the inter- molecular
attraction, whose magnitude depends upon the Spacing bet
molecules, and an external force is applied, then a new j,
developed which causes a change in the relative spa
molecules. Hence the body changes its shape or size or both and it is said
to be deformed. When the external force is removed the new internal force
brings the body to its normal or original state. The Property of the body,
by virtue of which it recovers its original shape and size when the external
force (deforming force) is removed, is called the elasticity of the body,
A perfectly elastic body is one that recovers its original size and shape
completely when the external force is removed. Thus a Perfectly plastic
body is one that fully maintains its altered size and shape when the external
force is removed. Actual bodies behave between these two limits, Nev y
recovers completely its original size and shape after undergoing very large
deformations.
A body is said to be rigid if the relative position of its constituent
Particles doesn’t change in equilibrium but on applying an external
force a slight relative displacement takes place. In practice no body a
perfectly rigid.
Elastic Limit : The maximum limit of the external force (deforming
force) by applying on a rigid body, elastic characteristics are maintained,
is called elastic limit. Different elastic limits are to be found for different
bodies. ni
Strain : When a body suffers a change in its size or shape under the
action of external forces, it is said to be deformed and the corresponding
fractional change is called strain. The strain is a ratio and it has no unit, no
dimension.
There are three types of strain— longitudinal (linear) strain, volume
strain and shearing (shape) strain,
Stress : When external deforming forces act on a body internal forces
opposing the former are developed at each section of the body. The
magnitude of the internal forces per unit area of the section is called stress.
In the equilibrium state of a deformed body, the internal forces are equal
and opposite to the external forces. Thus, stress is measured by the external
Bree unit area of their application. The dimension of the etrees i
and its units are N/m? (§ 1) and dyne/cm? (CGs).

then the molecules of the liquid collide with each other
and also with the walls of the container (vessel). Due to it

Obviously, the liquid pressure is directly proportional to the density
of liquid. Also the pressure exerted on the liquid doesn’t depend upon
the shape or size of the container.
If on the free surface of the liquid atmospheric pressure be operative
then the total pressure exerted will be
= Atmospheric Pressure (P) + pgh
Some observations and conclusions regarding liquid pressure
(i) At any point inside the liquid the pressure exerted by the liquid is
directly proportional to its depth from the free surface.
‘Thus, as shown in the diagram the pressure will be ina
decreasing order for the points 4, b and c.
Thus, p,> p,> Pz Where, p, p, and p, are the
respective pressures at the points a, b and c.
‘At every point and in every direction the
pressure exerted inside the liquid at rest is same. If a
number of holes are made after filling the container
with liquid, then the liquid will be released from every
hole with equal pressure.
(iii) For the same horizontal surface any liquid at
rest exerts the same pressure at all points.

Upthrust or Buoyant force of a liquid : When ly ly or.
ially i liquid at rest, the liquid exerts pressure on every
partially immersed in a liquic st L ue
art of the body's surface which are in contact with the fluid. The pressure.
E larger on the parts immersed more deeply. So the sts eat on all
sides in upward direction called buoyancy or buoyant force. The upthrust
or the buoyant force acts on the centre of gravity (c.g.) of the displaced
liquid by the body which is called centre of buoyancy.
Archimedes’s Principle : Archimedes’s principle states that when a
body is partially or fully immersed into a fluid at rest, the fluid exerts an
upward force of buoyancy which is equal to the weight of the displaced
fluid. Here the apparent weight of the body is equal to the displaced fluid.
Fluids are those substances which can flow, the liquids and the gases
both are fluids. Archimedes’s Principle is valid for both liquids and gases.

The law of floatation : When an object floats inside a liquid, then the
apparent wt. of the object is equal to the liquid displaced by the object. The
centre of gravity (c.g.) of the object and the centre of gravity (c.g.) of the
displaced water lie in the same vertical line.
Thus, the wt. of the displaced liquid = Upthrust or force of
buoyancy = Apparent wt. of the object
Examples of Archimedes's principle and law of floatation
(i) The ships of iron and the boats of wood float in water but the nails
of iron sink. The special design and shape of the ship and the boat
through which wt. of displaced water are more than the wt. of the
ship and boat, due to which more force of buoyancy becomes operative
and the ships or boats float. But the wt. of the water displaced by the
nails is less than the wt. of the nails that is why nails sink.
(ii) Life saving belts and submarines operate on these principles.
Meta Centre : The centre of gravity (c.g.) of the displaced liquid by a
floating body is called centre of buoyancy. The vertical line drawn from the
sentre of buoyancy of the displaced liquid intersects the vertical line passing

Surface tension is a vector quantity and its st”
unit is N/m ie. Nm —
zero at the critical temperature.
Surface Energy : Every strained body possesses potential energy. Thus
surface of a liquid behaves also like a strained system and hence the surface
of the liquid also has a potential energy which is equal to the work done in
creating the surface. This energy per unit area of the surface is called surface
energy. The surface energy of a liquid is numerically equal to the surface
tension. Thus, surface energy and surface tension both can be expressed in
Joule /meter?
The free surface of the liquid tries to acquire the minimum area due to
surface tension and that’s why rain drops, liquid drops, drops of mercury
etc. are spherical.
Angle of contact : When a solid body in the form of a tube or a plate is
immersed in a liquid, the surface of the liquid near the solid in general is
curved (concave or convex). The angle between the tangents of the liquid
surface and the solid surface at the point of contact, inside the liquid is
called the angle of contact for that pair of solid and liquid.
Pressure Inside a Soap bubble and inside a liquid drop: The pressure
inside a soap bubble or a liquid drop must be in excess of the pressure
outside the bubble or drop because without such pressure difference, a
bubble or a drop cannot remain in a stable equilibrium. Due to surface
face tension the bubble or drop has a tendency to contract and disappear
stic altogether. To balance the tendency to contract, there must be an excess of
pressure inside the bubble or drop.

(E) CAPILLARY ACTION OR (CAPILLARI tie
When a long glass tube of very fine bore called af
be is di into a liquid, then the liquid
ecieprenes ine tube. If the angle of contact is
acute (less then 90°) then liquid rises and if the angle
of contact is obtuse (more than 90°) then the liquid
depresses. It is called capillary action or capillarity.
Generally the liquid which wets glass rises
upwards and the liquid which doesn’t wet glass
depresses downwards. |
When a capillary tube is dipped into water it
rises, while in the case of mercury it depresses.
Let us suppose rbe the radius of a capillary tube,

(E) VISCOSITY
If the layers of a fluid (liquid or gas) slip or tend to slip on another
‘ in contact, then any two such lajets cert a tangential force on
each other. The directions of these forces are such that the relative motion
petween the layers are opposed. This property of the fluid to oppose
feiative motion between its layers is called viscosity. The forces between
the layers opposing the relative motion between them are called the forces
of viscosity: Thus, viscosity may be thought to be an internal friction of the
fluid in motion.
Let us suppose a liquid is flowing as shown in the figure (i) and AB is
the ground level at which the lowermost layer is at rest.
Fig. (i) Fig. (ii) : Velocity distribution curve
As we move from the lowermost layer to upward the flow velocities of
the liquid layers go on increasing and the uppermost layer has maximum
velocity. Thus every lower layer has lesser velocity than consecutive upper
layers and others. In fact every upper layer tries to drag forward every
consecutive (adjacent) lower layer, but a lower layer tries to pull consecutive
{adjacent) upper layer backwards.
Ifa liquid flows in a cylindrical pipe or tube as shown in figure (ii) a
velocity distribution curve is obtained which is parabolic and the velocity
of the mid. Layer is the maximum and decreases for other adjacent layers.
Thus, viscosity is the internal characteristics of liquids and gases
which are produced by the cohesive forces of the molecules. When the
liquid flows a relative motion among its various layers start due to which
the distance among the molecules increases and it is opposed by the
cohesive forces and thus viscosity is produced. But in gases viscosity is
generated due to molecules transfer from one place to another. That is why,
in the gases viscosity is less than that of the liquids. In liquids viscosity is
also measured by their concentration. The liquids which are more dense
(concentrated) have more viscosity. Examples ~ Glycerine and Honey have
More viscosity than water.

le viscous, fluid flows. steadily
through a tube of non-uniform
cross-section, then the product
of the area of cross-section and
the velocity of flow is same at
every point in the tube.
‘Thus, in a particular tube
if A_ be the area of its cross-
section and v be the velocity
of flow of the liquid at a place
(point), then according to the
s continuity principle; Av =

Usually the principle of continuity is a fundamental law of fluid-flow
and it is a special case of the general physical law of conservation of matter.
Also we can conclude that in a steady compressible flow the velocity of
flow varies inversely with the cross-sectional area, being larger in narrower
parts of the tube and vice-versa.
Bernoulli’s Theorem : This states that for all points along a streamline
in an incompressible and non-viscous fluid flowing steadily, the sum of
pressure energy, potential energy and kinetic energy per unit volume is
constant.
Thus, if p be the pressure energy per unit volume, p be the density of

(G) ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
The gaseous layer which surrounds the earth is called atmosphere. It
is held on the earth by the action of gravity. Atmosphere is a mechanical
mixture of the gases namely nitrogen and oxygen and some other inert gases.
The pressure of these gaseous mixture of atmosphere is called atmospheric
pressure.s gravity isthe only force acting on the atmosphere, the pressure
on the atmosphere is obviously the weight of the vertical column of air
of unit cross-section and height equal to that of atmosphere. Firstly the
atmospheric pressure was evaluated and measured by Von Guericke.
Normally, the atmospheric pressure is the pressure required which is
exerted by the column of 76 cm of Hg at 0"C and at 45" latitude near the sea.
Thus we can also say that atmospheric pressure is the pressure equivalent
to the wt. of the column of 76 cm of Hg for unit cross-sectional area.
Unit of Atmospheric Pressure
Column of 1m ofHg = 1.33 x 108 Pascal
1 Pascal =1Newton/meter*
~TBar = 10° Newton/meter*
1Millibar = 10? Pascal
1ttor =1 milli Hg Pressure
133.8 Pascal
Far
“3
More appropriately,
Thus, the atmosphere exerts on us a pressure of 1600 kg, but we don't
realise pressure. The osmotic pressure of the blood and mineral water of
our body exerts an equivalent pressure that's why we don't feel external
pressure. At the earth’s surface (near sea level) on reaching a distance of
110 m upwards, atm. pressure decreases by 1 cm column of Hg.
In hilly area it is difficult to prepare food because of a fall in pressure
on the hill and the boiling point of water correspondingly rises up.
Consequently the latent heat of vaporisation of water decreases too and,
that’s why the difficulties occur. The phenomenon of ink overflowing from
the pen of a man sitting in aircraft at higher altitudes, the phenomenon of
bleeding through the nose etc. are common interesting incidents.
‘Barometer: The barometer is a device by which the atmospheric
pressure is measured. Fortin fabricated and designed the barometer on
the basis of Torricelli’s theorem. It measures the atmospheric pressure
accurately and by the help of Fortin barometer weather related activities
are predicted. When the indicator of a barometer suddenly falls, it is
the indicative prediction of the appearance of a cyclonic storm, but if its
indicator falls slowly then the possibility is of the coming of rain and
if the indicator inclines upward slowly then there is a possibility of the
appearance of a clear day.
Due to large size and some other drawbacks, Fortin barometer was
replaced by Aneroid barometer which is compact and convenient and in it
no liquid is used. The frequent use of Aneroid barometer is customary to
measure the altitude of various places. The device Altimeter operates on the
basic principle of Aneroid barometer by which altitudes are measured.
The Standard Atmospheric pressure is the pressure require:
of Hg column or 760 mm of Hg column, which is équivalent to 1 atm.

1. Wave Motion
Wave motion : A wave motion is a process of transmission of
disturbances created somewhere in an elastic medium in all directions
around it and along with the disturbances energy transmits. Although the
particles of the medium only vibrate about their mean position and do not
leave their original respective positions.
Thus, three conditions are required for the formation of a wave—
(@)_A vibrating body called the source is necessary to create the
disturbance.
An clastic medium called the propagating medium through which
the wave transmits.
Giii) Particles of the medium which take part in the process of onward
transmission of the disturbance by executing successive similar
vibrations in the source about their respective mean position.
Such wave (disturbance) progression along with energy transmission
is called a wave-motion.
Broadly a wave is categorized into two types—
(i) Mechanical waves (Elastic waves)
(ii) Non-mechanical waves (Electromagnetic waves).
(i) Mechanical waves (Elastic waves) : Waves which propagate in
materialistic elastic medium like solid, liquid or gas are called mechanical
waves. There are two essential features— elasticity and inertia for the
existence of the mechanical waves.

As the speed of light in air (c) is 3 x 10 m/s (300000 km/sec) which
is very large than the speed of sound (332 m/sec). That's why during

This is the reason why in rainy season the siren of the train is heard sharply

Effect of the speed of the medium : If the medium is speeded up then
the speed of sound increases in the same direction and decreases in the
opposite direction.
4. Characteristics of musical sound
Musical notes differ from each other in the respect of at least one of
the three properties, namely- Intensity, Pitch and Quality. These three are
called characteristics of a musical sound. A musical sound is bound to differ
from another musical sound in at least one of these three properties and
hence they provide a means to distinguish one musical note from another.
Intensity and Loudness : The intensity of a musical sound is defined
as the rate of flow of energy per uni of a plane perpendicular to the
direction of wave propagation. The SI unit of intensity is Joule/sec-meter?
or watt/meter?,
The intensity of a simple harmonic wave is given by
I= 2ev'aXpy.
where; a = amplitude of the wave
p = density of the medium
v= frequency of the wave
v= wave speed
Obviously, the intensity of the musical sound is proportional to the
square of the amplitude of the wave, the density of the medium, the
square of the frequency of the wave, and wave speed. Apart from these the
intensity of the musical sound varies inversely as the square distance of the
source and varies directly to the elasticity of the medium. This intensity also
depends on the size of the source and a larger source has larger intensity
and vice-versa,
In fact intensity is a special feature (characteristic) of the musical sound
by which feeble (weak) and loud (sharp) sounds can be identified. Though
the absolute unit of intensity is watt/m? but it has no significance and
another arbitrary unit is bel which is expressed on the logarithmic scale
and it is used frequently to measure the relative intensity. This unit bel was
@ nobel honour to the inventor of the telephone Graham Bel. Generally,
jolt of bel which is called decibel (db) is the most practical unit of the
relative intensity.

sec) because a human ear cannot distinguish between two sounds arriving

temperature of air is maximum near the ground surface and it diminishes
upwards. Thus, the speed of sound is the largest near the surface of the
earth (v = vT)and decreases upwards. Soa ray of sound diverging upwards
from a source on (or near) the earth's surface is refracted continuously
towards the normal and hence less sound reaches the observer. At dusk the
situation is just the opposite. Now, a ray diverging upwards from a source
‘on (or near) the surface of the earth is refracted continuously away from
the normal. Novy, it is totally reflected when it begins to travel downwards
with a continuous refraction to reach the observer towards vertically.

(iii) Free Vibration : When a body, which is capable of vibrating is
displaced from its position of rest and then is left to vibrate itself, it will
vibrate with its own time period or frequency. Such vibrations of the body
are called its free vibrations, provided it is free from all type of resisting
force, external or internal. Example - the prong of a tuning fork, thestretched
string of a sonometer etc. are vibrations capable bodies. When these bodies
are disturbed from their position of rest they vibrate and these vibrations
are said to be free vibrations, and these are not resisted by frictional forces
such as air resistance, viscosity or any other frictional forces ete.
Though vibrations of such bodies are free from the external forces
namely air resistance, they are not free from internal frictional forces
namely viscous force, In the course of vibrations, the different layers of
the prong, move relatively to one another and due to this relative motion
between the layers a force comes into play which tries to diminish the
relative motion. This force is called viscous force or internal frictional force.
In practice vibrations of a body are resisted by some kind of frictional force
and hence resisted vibrations are the natural vibrations. The frequency of
free vibrations of a body is called its natural frequency.
(iv) Forced vibrations : Resonance : If a body can vibrate freely then
due to resisting forces the natural frequency of the body starts to decay
and thus an external periodic force is needed. A tussle starts between the
frequency of the external force and the natural frequency of the body and
ultimately the frequency of the external periodic force predominates and

value with a waxing noise and then fading out with a waning noise. This
phenomenon of waxing, and waning in the loudness of the resultant wave
is known as beats. Thus, the beats are formed due to the superposition
of waves. Interferences and beats both occur due to the superposition
of waves and these are concerned with the variation of the intensity of
the wave. Interference is the phenomenon of sustained destruction or
reinforcement of two identical waves and there is a spatial distribution of
silence (destructive interference) and anti-silence (constructive interference)
but in beats silence and anti-silence occur periodically at the same place,
so it is also called interference in time. In producing interference the two
interfering waves must be essentially coherent (having constant phase) but,
in producing beats any two sources can be taken.
(c) Stationary waves (standing waves)
When two identical progressive waves (waves having the same
amplitude and frequency) travelling in the opposite directions meet along,
the same line with the same >
velocity, then the result of the
superposition of such waves
in the formation of a system
of waves which alternately
appear and disappear in the
region where the two waves | >
meet without advancing in | — N= Node Als Note:
either direction is called stationary (standing) waves.
In the formation of a stationary wave, the space confined has two types
of points. The first is Node where no displacement takes place and another
is Anti-node where maximum displacement occurs. The distance between
two consecutive Nodes or Anti-nodes is *; where 4 is the wavelength of
the waves undergoing for superposition.
(vi) Diffraction of sound : When sound waves originate by a vibrating
source they spread in the medium and if the medium is homogeneous and
isotropic (have uniform density), then these waves have spherical wave-
fronts from the point source. Far from the source the wavefronts are nearly
planes and the shape of the wavefront is changed when the wave meets
an obstacle or an opening in its path. This leads to bending of the wave
around the edges. Such bending of waves from an obstacle or an opening,
is called diffraction.
Diffraction is a characteristic property of the wave and all kinds of
waves undergo diffraction. The effect of diffraction is appreciable when the
dimensions of the obstacles are comparable or smaller than the wavelength
of the wave. If the obstacle is large compared to the wavelength, the
diffraction effect is almost negligible.
Example : The wavelength of the sound wave is approx. 1 meter and
of the same order as the doors and windows of our houses. That's why
sound wave is diffracted broadly and one person easily hears the voice of
the another.

When the air column is contained in an open pipe, the two ends are
essentially Anti nodes and then it is said to be in the fundamental mode of
vibration of the air column.

Thus, my 2nysn, 2:3:
=n ~3n,.
Thereby it can be concluded that the possible tones of an open pipe
have frequencies in the ratio of natural numbers. The note emitted by the
air column in an open pipe will have the full series of overtones and hence
it is very rich in harmonics. That's why the quality of a note emitted by an
open pipe is always better and sweeter than that of a closed pipe.
6. Doppler's effect in sound
When there is a relative motion between an observer and a source,
then the pitch of the note emitted by the source appears to be changed
to the observer. This apparent change in pitch due to a relative motion
between the observer and the source and also sometimes due to motion
of the medium is called Doppler's effect in sound (acoustical Doppler's
effect),
Actually Doppler firstly observed this effect in light waves. Thus,
the optical Doppler's effect in fact firstly propounded the spectral lines of
certain stars which were found to be shifted towards the red or violet end
of the spectrum from their normal position by a very small distance. For
the red and violet end stars recede from the earth and approach to the earth
respectively. Doppler's effect is also a basic characteristic of the wave and it
is to be found in all types of wave.

instances in which, source moves through a medium at a velocity greater
than the velocity of sound. A jet plane, a ballistic missile moves through
the air at a velocity greater than the velocity of sound. In such cases the
wavefront takes the shape of a cone with moving object at its apex. The Jet
Plane or the supersonic plane sends a cracking sound called sonic boom
Which can crack glass dishes, window panes and even damage buildings,
The wave originated due to sonic boom is called shock wave. The spherical
wavefront intersect over the surface of the cone with the apex at the source,

1. Heat & Temperature
The degree of hotness or coldness of a body is called its temperature
and thus temperature is an indicator of the thermal stage of the body. Due
to different temperatures of two bodies thermal energy transfers from the
body having higher temperature to the body of lower temperature and at
4 particular temperature the process of energy transfer stops and now both
bodies are said to be in thermal equilibrium. This thermal energy due to
which the existence of the temperature in the body appears is called heat.
In other words, heat is a type of energy by which mechanical work can be
done. This was firstly detected by Rumford. Later, Davy confirmed this fact
after rubbing two pieces of ice on melting. As no source of heat is available
in the melting of the two pieces thus frictional forces came into existence
due to the rubbing, which produce heatenergy and consequently the twoice
pieces melt. Later by Joule’s experiment it was observed that heat is a form
of energy by which various works can be performed, Joule also asserted that
heat and mechanical work are inter-transferable to each other and the ratio
of mechanical work and heat energy by which work is done is a fixed ratio
called mechanical equivalent of heat and basically it is a conversion unit. If
a mechanical work W is produced by an amount of heat H then
J= W/Hor W = JH, where; J = mechanical equivalent of heat.
= 4186 Joule/kilo cal.
= 4.186 Joule /cal.
= 4.186 « 107 erg/cal.
Thisimplies that if work of 4.186 Joule isdone then 1 kilocal, heat would
be produced.
Effect of heat :
(a) Physical changes : By the application of heat or thermal energy the
physical structure of a body like its shape-size, volume, temperature and
its state changes
(i) Change in Temperature: Ordinarily temperature of a body increases
with increase in heat or on supplying thermal energy to
(ii) Change in Volume : Ordinarily with increase in heat or thermal
energy the volume of the body increases.
Gii) Change of state : Usually there are three states of matter— solid,
liquid and gas and these states exist due to the difference of temperature
thereby due to heat. Thus, change of state takes place due to heat.
(iv) Otherschanges:Onheatingabody itsshape, size, clectricalresistance,
the ability to dissolve solute in the solvent etc. change drastically.
(b) Chemical changes ; On heating a substance some changes occur
Permanently. One can observe free oxygen released on heating potassium
chlorate with mangnese dioxide.
Units of Heat : The SI unit of heat is Joule and in C.GS. its unit is
calorie.
Calorie : The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g
water by 1°C is called calorie.

2. Thermal expansi
mn Of solids, liquids and gases
Ordinarily the volume
me of a substance increases with the supply of heat
(thermal energy) resulting from the increase of intermolecular distances
in the substance, But there are some exceptions also for instance. in water
volume contracts on increasing its temperature from 0°C to 4°C. Similarly
in Silver lodide (AgI) volume contracts on increasing Thetemiperature
it has temperature between 80°C to 140°C, On supplying heat expansion
occurs in all solids, liquids and gases, but gases expand more than liquids
and liquids expand more than solids.
Expansion of solids : Usually if any solid body is heated, it expands
in length, breadth and thickness and if the expansion, in length is only
substantial then it is called linear expansion but if both length and breadth
expand substantially it is called superficial expansion and ultimately if the
Jength, breadth and thickness all expand, then it is called volume expansion
(cubical expansion).
Coefficient of linear expansion—It is defined as increase in perdegree
celsius temperature with unitlength of the body and it is represented by a.
Thus, coefficient of linear expansion

Change of state of matter: A substance can be found only in three states
of matter— solid, liquid and gas. If a certain amount of thermal energy be
supplied to the solid state then at a particular temperature (melting point of
the solid) it is converted into liquid and this thermal energy is latent heat of
fusion and conversely if such energy be withdrawn from the liquid it would
be transformed back into the solid state. Similarly the liquid is converted into
the gas (vapour) at a particular temperature (boiling point of the liquid) and
the thermal energy supplied is latent heat of vapourisation. Conversely by
withdrawing required thermal energy, the gas could be again transformed
back into the liquid state.
\feam at 100°C is hotter than water at 100°C though waters boiling. This
is strange but true because boiling water has only thermal energy whereas
steam has thermal energy plus latent heat of vaporisation. Because of this
steam is more painful than boiling water.
Most metals are found tobe in solid state but mercury (Hg)exceptionally
is the only metal found in liquid state. contdiveastitle

On the basis of thermal conductivity the substances are classified in the
following types—
(a) Good conductor : The substances through which heat is transmitted
very easily and conveniently arecalled good conductors or conductors, Most
of the metallic solids are good conductors.
Examples : Metals, acidic water, human body ete. are good,
conductors.
(b) Bad Conductor : The substances through which heat is not
transmitted easily and conveniently and a little amount of heat transfers
are called bad conductors. Examples- Wood, fiber, glass, rubber, air etc. are
bad conductors.
(©) Thermal Insulator : The substances through which heat is not
transmitted by any means (methods) are called thermal insulators. In fact
bad conductors are sometimes synonymously used as thermal insulators.
Thus, we cansay bad conductors are good insulators. In garments and cloths
air is trapped which provides a good insulating characteristic.
Examples— Abonite, asbestos etc are insulators.
(ii) Convection : In the process of convection heat is transmitted in
the substance by transfer of molecules (particles) of the substance and
thus a current due to the molecules transfer is generated which is called
convectional current.
. Whenever a liquid or a gas is heated,
the molecules (particles) of these substances become lightened and move
upwards and then cooler molecules settle downwards and heated. Now
@ convectional current is formed and heat is transmitted throughout i
the liquid or gas. The atmosphere of our earth is heated by the process o!
convection.

Boltzmann established this law theoretically from a thermodynamical
consideration and hence an extended form of Stefan's law is called Stefan
Boltzmann's law which is stated as below—_ .
if a black body at an absolute temperature T is surrounded
black body at an absolute temperature T, then it will lose an ae of
energy OT per sec per unit area and will gain an amount of energy oT,
per sec per unit area from the surroundings. Hence the net loss of energy
per sec per unit area of the body will be E = o(T4— T') which is called
Stefan—Boltzmann’s law. °
Newton's law of cooling : It states that the rate of loss of heat energy
of any hot body by the process of thermal radiation is proportional to the
difference between the mean temperature and the surroundings.
Thus
Q 0, +0,

that its temperature falls from 70°C to 60°C in particular time ¢ min, then
itwill take more than f min. in the temperature falling from. 60°C to 50°C.

can never be exactly obtained but can be approximated under some specific
circumstances. ;
(ii) Reversible and Irreversible process : A reversible process is one
which can be reversed in such a way that all changes taking place in the
ated in the reverse order (opposite sense) and
no changes are left in any of the bodies taking part in the process or in the
surroundings. The conditions of reversibility are never realised in practice,
hence a reversible process is only an ideal conception.
Any process which is not reversible exactly is an irreversible process.
All natural processes such as conduction, radiation, radioactive decay etc.
are irreversible processes. Thus, irreversibility is a rule.
(iv) Isothermal and Adiabatic process: When thermodynamic system
undergoes through a process in which its temperature remains constant,
then the process is said to be isothermal. The essential condition for an
isothermal process is that the system must be contained in a perfectly
) conducting chamber and it occurs extremely slowly in which the heat
produced or absorbed during the process at once goes out or comes in from
outside. Hence, temperature will remain constant but as there is no perfect
conductor, so isothermal process cannot be performed exactly but can only
be approximated. Ideal gas equation PV = RT is directly applicable for an
isothermal process.
But when a thermodynamic system undergoes a process under the
condition thatno heat comes into or goes out of the system, then the process
said to be adiabatic. Such process can occur when the system is perfectly
insulated from the surroundings. But since no perfect insulator is available,
perfect adiabatic change is impossible. Thereby, an approximate adiabatic
process can be obtained (achieved). It is an extremely rapid or fast process
because there isa very little time for the heat to go out or to come into the
system. The equation PV’ = constant is directly applicable and relevant for
an adiabatic process, where y = specific heat capacities ratio of the ideal
gas.
direct process are exactly rep
Examples: Ifa gas is suddenly compressed, the heat of compression is
added to its internal energy and its temperature rises. That's why the bicycle
pump is heated when the air in it issuddenly compressed. Similarly, if a gas
is suddenly expanded, then the extemal work done during it against the
surroundings draws energy (equivalent to the work done) from its internal
energy and its temperature falls. When a motor tyre bursts, the sudden
expansion of air into the atmosphere is an adiabatic process in which the

@® Cooling process (Mechanism)
(a) Evaporation (Vaporisation) : From the outer surface of any liquid
at any temperature slowly and steadily the transformation of liquid into
vapour is called evaporation. In the process of evaporation (vaporisation)
the heat energy is supplied by the inner molecules of the liquid and when
a sufficient heat energy is acquired by the molecules of outer surface then
these molecules start to detach from the liquid. Thus, vapour is formed and
along with themselves molecules have lower heat energy and ultimately
temperature falls. Thus evaporation is a process of obtaining the cooling
from the liquid. The evaporation depends on various factors like amount of
vapour present in atmosphere, the area of ihe liquid surface, the temperature
of the liquid etc. If the water vapour f.esent in the atmosphere is large then
the rate of evaporation is least and vice-versa. That's why in summer wet
clothes are dehydrated soon and made dry in short interval of time, while
inrainy season the process of drying takes a longer time. Insummer, surahi
(water container made of ceramic) by the evaporation process lowers the
temperature and water becomes cool. If the body temperature of a man/
women due to suffering of a severe fever becomes extremely high then on
keeping the weted cloth on his /her forehead such high temperature can be
lowered down through the process of evaporation.

then the object is seen. At present light is defined in the form of an energy
which transmits (propagates) as an electromagnetic wave and whose energy
1S confined in the form of a small packet called photon.
Dual nature of light : In early time it was believed that light consists
of a stream of corpuscles, emitted by various light sources travells outward
from the sources instraight lines. This was the idea of Newton's Corpuscular
theory. The corpuscles directly penetrate through the transparent materials

Miscellaneous
(i) Firstly Newton asserted that light is made of micro particles or
corpuscules: and it moves in a straight line. Newton also speculated that
white light is made of all the seven colours.
(ii) Huygens propounded the wave theory of light. Which asserted
that light can be displayed in the form of waves.
(iii) Young propounded the theory of Interference of light. Young’s
experiment was the base of the verification and confirmation of wave
theory for the physicists.
(iv) Maxwell propounded the theory of electromagnetism in 1864.
According to Maxwell the oscillating electricand magnetic fields generate
an electromagnetic wave perpendicular to each other and its direction
of propagation is perpendicular to each electric and magnetic field. This
theory was verified by Hertz and later on commercial level too much work
was done by Marconi in this regard.
(v) Max. Planck in 1900 gave the famous quantum theory by the help
of an equation F = hv, where h is called Planck's constant and v is the
frequency of emitted photon. He also explained that the energy in the
electromagnetic wave is quantized and appears descretly in the form of
packet called quantum and this energy is confined in the form of a pocket
called photon. This concept became the origin of Quantum mechanics
later.
(vi) Einstein on the basis of a comperhensive observation and
speculation in 1905 declared that the light is quantized and the energy is
divided into a small group called quanta and the corpuscule of the light
is called photon.
Sources of light: Thesun, stars and other celestial bodies inouruniverse
are the natural sources of light. In stellar or solar system, hydrogen atoms
regularly transform themselves into helium and tremendous amount of
solar energy or stellar energy is produced.
Apart of such energy is received by our earth’s surface. The sun is

4, Total Internal Reflection of light
When any light ray enters from an optically denser medium to an
d optically ium then due to refraction the light ray bends away from
of the normal. But as well as the values of angles of incidence are increased,
's the light bending from the normal becomes more and more away. Thus,
the value of angle of refraction is in increasing order. But for a definite
angle of incidence the angle of refraction becames 90" and here the angle of
incidence is called critical angle.
Thus index of refraction (jt) = —

Some interesting incidents related to total internal reflection—
(i) Over brightness in diamond : The critical angle is very low
(approximately 24") fora light ray coming from diamond to air. When light
rays enter into the diamond, then from various layers multiple reflections
take place and if the angle of incidence of the rays becomes less than 24°C
then light rays come out from the diamond. Thus, light rays entering from
every side into the diamond, only appear to come from certain side and
that’s why the diamond appears overbrightend. |

6. Dispersion of light

and bends towards the base of the prism and this ray splits into various
folours. This group of component colours is called spectrum. Also the

called dispersion of light. Inall the colours

7. Interference of light waves
In general interference is the phenomenon of sustained cancellation
or reinforcement of two waves when they meet under certain specific
conditions. When the effect of one wave is constantly neutralised by the
other, two waves are said to interfere destructively and when their effects
are reinforced they are said to interfere constructively. Thus, we can say that
when two waves of the same frequency travel in same direction and have
a phase difference that remains constant with time, the resultant intensity
of light is not distributed uniformly in space. The non-uniform distribution
of light intensity due to superposition of two waves is called interference.
At some points intensity is maximum and interference at these points is
called constructive interference. At some other points intensity is minimum
(possibly even zero) and interference at these points is called destructive
interference, Usually when two light waves are made to interfere, we get
alternate dark and bright bands of a regular or irregular shape. These are
called interference fringes.
Interference is the most fundamental characteristic of a wave and there
isno loss of energy in it, there is only redistribution of energy from maxima
to minima. The phenomenon of interference was firstly demonstrated by
Thomas Young in his experiment called Young's double slit experiment.
Examples related to interference
(i) The kerosene oil spread on the water surface seems to have a decent
colour because of interference of the light.
(ii) The soap bubbles have a brilliant colour in the sunlight because of
interference of the light.
Coherence : A wave which has a pure sine wave for an infinitely large
Period of time or for an infinitely extended space is said to be a perfectly
coherent wave. In such a wave there is a definite relationship between the
Phase of the wave at a given time and at a certain time or distance later at
given point same condition is again satisfied.

When an ordinary light incidents normall

in the figure which have

rotated. The intensity is maximum when the
jwsof P,i5 parallel to that of P,, and minimum when itis at right angles.
This shows that the light emerging from P, is not symmetrical about the
giqection of propagation of light, but its vibrations are confined only to.a
Vingle line in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Such
jight 1s called plane-polarised or linearly-polarised light.
According to the electromagnetic theory of light, a light wave consists
ofelectric and magnetic vectors vibrating in mutually perpendicular planes,
oth being perpendicular to the direction of propagation of light. The
electric veetor acts like a light vector. Hence, the plane-polarised light is a
light in. which the light vector vibrates along a fixed straight line in a plane
perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
symbolical representation
Unpolarived light % :

Plane polarised tight revenge Pe

> 2 2-> plane of paper
As in an unpolarised beam of light all directions of vibration at right
angles to that of propagation of light are possible, hence it is represented
by a star.
In a plane-polarised beam of light the vibrations are along a single
straight line. If the vibrations are parallel to the plane of the paper, they are
represented by the arrows. If they are along a straight line perpendicular to
the plane of paper, they are represented by dots.
Light waves are transverse : In tourmaline experiment, the variation
in intensity of the emergent light on rotation of P, (First section of the
polarisation) shows that light waves are transverse. But if the waves were
longitudinal i.e. having vibration along the direction of propagation of light,
they will have passed through P, in all positions of it.
Thus, polarisation of light takes place with transverse waves only and
doesn't occur with longitudinal waves. That’s why sound (longitudinal)
wave doesn't exhibit the phenomenon of polarisation.
Doubly-Refracting crystals ; There are certain crystals which splita ray
of light incident upon them into two refracted rays. Such crystals are called
doubly-refracting crystals. These are of two types : uniaxial and biaxial. In
uniaxial crystals there is one direction called optic axis along which the two.
refracted rays travel with the same velocity. The examples of such crystals
are calcite, tourmaline and quartz. In biaxial crystals there are two optic
axes. The examples of biaxial crystals are topaz and arogonite.
Double refraction: Whenaray of unpolarised light incidents onacalcite
(or quartz) crystal, it splits up into two refracted rays. The phenomenon is
called double refraction.

Dichroism : Some doubly-refracting crystals have the propery :
absorbing strongly one of the two refracting rays, while allowing theougt
to emerge with a little loss. This selected absorption by the erystal ig; nowy
as dichroism. The best example of such a crystal is tourmaline.
When aray of unpolarised light is sent through a 1 mm thick, tourmay
plate then it splits up fats plane polarised lightin which O-ray and Eval
vibrate in mutually perpendicular planes. O-ray is completely absor
while E-ray istotally transmitted. Thus, the light emerging through theplats
is plane-polarised. This is the basic principle of the commercial Polarising
devices called polaroids.
Polaroid : It is a large-sized polarising film mounted between ty
glass plates, and is used to obtain plane-polarized light for the commercia
Purposes. The film consists of a thin sheet of nitro-cellulose packed with
ultra microscopic crystals of the organic compound iodosulphate quinine
{also called herapathite) with their optic axes all parallel. These crystal,
are highly dichroic, absorbing one of doubly-refracted beams completely.
Hence when a beam of unpolarised light passes through the polaroid film,
the emerging light is plane-polarised |
Recently large-sized polaroids have been made by stretching a film of
polyvinyl! alcohol. The stretching orients the complex molecules with theig
long axes in the direction of stress and makes them doubly-refracting, Then
the film is impregnated with iodine which makes it dichroic Such polaroids
are called H-polaroids. If instead of iodine impregnation, the stretched film
is heated with a dehydrating agent, then it slightly darken and becomes
strongly dichroic. It is called k-polaroid.
Uses of polaroids
(i) Polaroids are used in the laboratory to produce and analyse a plane-
polarised light. These are cheaper than Nicole
(ii) K-polaroids are used in head-lights and wind-sereens of cars to-cul
off the dazzling light of a car approaching from the opposite side. They
are fitted in the head-light and wind-screen of the car with their vibration
planes parallel to each other but inclined at 45° to the vertical. When two
ars approach each other from the: Opposite sides then through the vibration-
plane of polaroids light is sent out to each other and hence light coming
from the head light of one car is completely cut off by the wind-screen

light vector.In unpolarised light light vector takes all the possible directions
of vibration in a plane perpendicular to the directions of propagation: If
however, light vector vibrates along a fixed straight line in the plane, the
light is said to be plane-polarised or linearly-polarised. ‘
When two plane-polarised waves are superimposed, then under certain
conditions the resultant light vector rotates with a constant magnitude in
a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The tip of the vector
traces a circle and the light is said to be circularly-polarised. If, although
the magnitude of the resultant light vector varies periodically during
its rotation, the tip of the vector traces an ellipse, the light is said to be
eiliptically-polarised. Thus, there are usually three types of polarised light
which exist in nature.

10. Scattering of light
When light waves fall on extremely small bodies (particles) such as
dust particles, very small suspended water droplets, suspended particles
in colloidal solution etc then these are thrown out in all directions. This
phenomenon of light is known as scattering. Here bodies are small in the
sense of theirsizesand aresmaller than thesizes (wavelengths) of theincident
waves. Thus, the strength of scattering depends upon the wavelength of the
light beside the size of the bodies (particles) which cause scattering, If these
particles are smaller than the wavelength of the incident light, then the
scattering is proportional to 1 This is called Rayleigh’s law of scattering.
x
Thus, red light is scattered least and violet is
scattered most. That's why
ted signals are used to indicate dangers. Such a signal appears to be visible
at a larger distances without an appreciable loss due to scattering.
Incidents of the scattering of light in our daily life—
(i) Due to the scattering of light sky appears blue ; When we look at
the sky it is scattered light from the atmosphere that enters the eyes. Among,
the shorter wavelength the colour blue is present in larger proportion in the
light. Light of short wavelengths are strongly scattered by the air molecules
and the suspended water droplets and it explains the bluecolour appearance
of the sky.

refraction increases from outside to inside and itemean index of refractionis
approximately 1.44, Theeye lens is confined with in the musclular region and
itis capable of adjusting its focal length. That's why humaneye hasa variable
nature of focal length. Between cornea and eye lensa saline transparent fluid
is filled up which is called aqueous humour and ite index of refraction is
1.336. Behind the eye lens another transparent fluid is also found whichis
called vitreous humour and whose index of refraction ig also 1,336, Behind
sclerotic there is a black coloured membrane which is called choroid. It
absorbs the light and stops the process of internal reflection. Inside this
membrane and in the innermost part of the eye there is a transparent
membrane which is called retina. The retina is basically a film of optical
nerves and these nerves produce the sensation of the image formed in
mind (brain). Thus, shape, size and colour of the object's image is observe
by the human eye. When alight ray incidents on an object, then by reflection
it passes through the cornea and aqueous humour reaches to the ret
retina (used as screen for the glass lens) a real and inverted image a

hole in the retina goes upto brain. This place is called blind spot. There isa
mid-point in the retina which is of yellow colour. Here the obtained image
svery sharp and distinctive. It is called yellow Spot.
Power of accommodation of eye : To see any object distinctly (clearly)
itisnecessary that the light ray reflected from object be totally confined on
the retina. In usual condition the light rays co
are assumed to be confined on the reti
then eye muscles start to shrink and reduce th iii
surfaces. Here the focal length of the eye len:
starts to form on the retina. This adjustment of the focal length of the eye is
called Power of accommodation of the eye. As we try to look at the nearest
abject more and more power of accommodation of the eye is required and
ithas also a limit. If any object is kept very close to the eye it doesn't look
distinct. Thus the maximum accommodation power of eye is applied to the
nearest object which looks sharp and distinct. This distance of distinct vision
iscalled the least distance of distinct vision and fora normal human eye itis
25m. But inversely the eye without applying the power of accommodation
can see distinctly any object located at far point and for a normal human
eyc itis infinity (2).
” Colour vision: There are two types of cells found in the retina of theeye
which are optically sensitive. These are called cones and rods. Cone shaped
cells react aecording to the consistency of the colours by which we realise
about the colours, Rod shaped cells react according to the consistency of
the intensity of light. This is very sensitive for the dim light. That's why we
also speculate (guess) about the object in the dark. When light is of shining
(dazzling) type then rods cells stop to act and cones cells become active. A
normal human eye's retina has three types of cones cells —
G)_ First type-Sensitive to the lightof shorter wavelength (blue colour)
(ii) Second type-Sensitive to the light of middle range wavelength
(green colour)
Gii) Third type-Sensitive to the light of longer wavelength (red colour)
Chromatic adaptation : If a piece of glazed (shined) colour Paper is
‘aken and half part of itis covered, then on looking up to approximately 30
seconds at the rest of the piece and if the covered part is now made open
then on looking at the entire piece the covered part appears more glazed.
This optical incident is called chromatic adaptation.
Successive contrast :If we lookat a coloured image up toapproximately
30 seconds and a white surface is seen then a post-image appears, whose
Peand size is equal to that of the real image, but its colour is different. If
the real image is red then its post-image is green and vice-versa. If the real
mage is blue then its post-image in yellow and vice-versa and for the white
fenimage its post-image is black and vice-versa. Such optical incident in

to persistence of vision various celestial phenomena occur in the sky. The
blades of fast moving electric fan also appears indistinctive due to the same
reason.
12. Optical Instruments
( Camera : The camera is an optical device with which phiaographs of
various objects re taken on the photographicplate ortilm and by developing
the reel permanent photos are prepared.
Ordinarily a camera
of two types
(a) Box camera (b) Folding camera
Important parts of the camera
Light insulated box : This is made of wood or metal whose length is
fixed in the box camera. But in folding camera this box is made of leather
whose length is not fixed. This box is fully enclosed from every side so that
no external light ray can enter inside to it. The inner part of the walls are
black polished due to which light ray doesn’t reflect.
Lens: In front of the light insulated box a convex lens is enclosed which
is called objective. In good quality cameras the objective is made from the
composition of various lenses. Due to it aberration in the image doesn't
appear.

electric potential is volt in the honour of an Italian scientist Al
Volta. The electric potential is a scalar quantity. If 1 coulomb +Ve test che

then 1 volt potential is said to be confined at that point.

a standard parameter or reference point is taken, whose indicator reads
zero level. Thus, to measure electric potential earth is taken to be a referenc.
level and the value of electric potential at any point on the earth's surfage
is assumed (o be zero. Our earth is a great conductor in which addition @
Subtraction of some charges do not change the value of its potential. Thate
why at every point of earth's surface electric potential is assumed to be
always zero,
Potential difference or Potential drop : If in an electric field a unit
Positive test charge is carried out by an external agent from one point to
another, then the work done in this process is called potential difference
{p-d) between both the points.
‘The p.d. is measured in volt and it is also a scalar quantity,
¢ inside potential of a hollow conductor : Whenever a hollow
conductor iselectrified (charged), then the charges accumulate on the outer
surface of the conductor and this charge doesn't enter the hollow part of
the conductor. Thus there is no inside charge but the potential of the part
(hollow part) is not zero. In fact every point inside the conductos has equal
potential and it is equal to the potential of the conductor,

Capacitor or Condensor : An isolated
capacity of storing the charges i.e. only very acallamonctat ch cpoeles
to the conductor raises its potential by a large amount. If Weweves cectondl
earthed conductor is placed near it, then an equal and opposite amount ot
- charges are induced on the front surface of the second Conductor uhich
lowers the potential of the first conductor. Thus capacitance of theconductor
increases. Such a pair of conductors which can storea good amount of charge
is called a capacitor or condensor. The conductors are called the plates of
the capacitor. The net charge on a capacitor means the magnitude of charge
on either plate.
There are broadly three types of capacitors—Where.

. Dielectric : A dielectric (an insulator) is a material in which all the
electrons are tightly bound to the nuclei of the atoms. Thus there are no
free electrons to generate the current. Hence, the electrical conductivity of
adiclectric is very low. The conductivity of an ideal dielectric is zero. Glass,
mica, plastic, oil etc. are examples of dielectrics.
Dielectric constant : When a dielectric material is kept between the
plates of a capacitor, the capacitance of the capacitor increases. The ratio of
the capacitance of a given capacitor with the material (dielectric) filling the
entire space between its plates to the capacitance of the same capacitor in
vacuum is called dielectric constant or specific inductive capacity oftie
Material. Thus, if C, is the capacitance with dielectric materi I and C, thal
f without dielectri¢ in the vacuum, then dielectric constant () = Cyl.
The value of dielectric constant is independent from theshape and size
the capacitor, but its value varies widely for different materials.

Effect of electric current: The electric current has various types of effect
like magnetic effect, chemical effect, thermal effect ete.
Magnetic effect : Whenever an electric current passes through any
conductor, then a magnetic field is produced (generated) around the
conductor. In 1820 an observation was made by Oersted who saw that when
amagneticneedle is brought near a current carrying wire (conductor), thenit
isdeflected. But this needle only deflects in magnetic field which obviously
confirms that current carrying conductor produces magnetic field. This is
called magnetic effect of the current. The direction of magnetic field is given
by Maxwell's Cork-Screw rule, Fleming right hand rule etc.

Electromagnetic induction : Faraday in 1831 discovered that whenever

some metallic salt, acid or alKali are dissolved in it thet-water ee

of salt, acid or alkali an electric current is passed and if these solutions
decompose into +ve and -ve ions then this is called chemical effect of the
electric current and the phenomenon is called electrolysis, The equipment
in which electric decomposition occurs is called voltameter, Two metallic
conductors which are kept at the entrance and exit of the voltameter are
called electrodes. The electrode through which electric current enters inside
the voltameter is called anode, while the electrode through which electric
current comes out is called cathode. Thus +ve electrode is anode and —ve
lectrade is cathode. Whenever an electric current is passed through the any
electrolyte, cations flow towards the cathode and anions flow towards the
anode during the electrolysis.

resistance in the circuit. Although there is a wastage of energy (FR pg,
second) in the form of a Joule’s heat. In an a.c. circuit the current can jy
alternatively be reduced by inserting a coil of thick copper woung
closely in a large number of turns over soft-iron laminated core. Such a coi,
offers a large reactance (Lw) and contributes to the impedance (resistance
a.c,) of the circuit, Hence it reduces the a.c. appreciably. Such a coil is catjay
Choke-coil.
The average power di

pated in the choke coil is P = 3 V, 1, cosp
R
L
Here the inductance L of the choke coil is quite large on account of its la;
number of turns and the high permeability of iron core, while its resistance
R is very small. Here cos@ is nearly zero. So the power absorbed by the coi}
is extremely small and thus choke coil reduces the strength of the current
without appreciable wastage of energy. The only waste of energy is duetothe
hysteresis lossin the iron core. The loss due to eddy currents is minimised
making the core laminated. The choke-coils are used in electrical appliances
like in tube light, radio, electric fan etc,
Preference of a choke-coil over an ohmic resistance : The current in
an a.c, circuit can also be diminished by using an ordinary ohmic resistance
(rheostat) in the circuit. Butsucha controlling method of a.c. isnoteconomical
as much of the electrical energy (Rt) supplied by the source is wasted as
heat. Hence a choke coil is preferred over the ohmic resistance,
Transformer : A transformer is an electrical device which converts a
jernating current (a.c.) into a smalll alternating current (a.c.) at high
.c.Jand vice-versa. The transformers which convert a low voltage
intoa higher ones are called step uptransformers, while those which convert
ahigh voltage into a lower ones are called step down transformers.
A simple transformer consists of two coils— called primary and
secondary, which are insulated from each other and which are wound ona
common soft-iron laminated core. The alternating voltage to be transformed
is connected to the primary, while the load is connected to the secondary.
In a step-up transformer the primary coil consists of a large number of
turns of thin insulated copper wire, while reverse is the case ina step-down
transformer.
When an alternating voltage is applied to the primary, an alternating
current (a.c.) flows in the coil. This sets up analternating magnetic flux in the
core. This magnetic flux is linked up with both the primary and secondary.
Hence an induced alternating emf is produced in the primary as well as in
the secondary.

Voltage returns through air (that part of the flux which links both primary and

primary linkage flux and the part inking the secondary only is the secondary
¥ and linkage flux. The loss due to this is minimised by eliminating the air gaps

Domestic wiring :In domestically supplied current three typesof wires
are utilised which are live, neutral and connected to the earth (earthing).
F the live wire electric current is
Passed, while throught uutral Wire current goes back. In home usually
two types of circuits are installed in which one circuit is for 5 ampere
appliances and another for 15 ampere appliances. Earthing wire directly
80es to the earth and it is a means or way of safety. In every circuit the
electrical appliances are attached between the live wire and neutral wire.
For the regulation of every appliance (equipment) there is a switch which
‘Sattached in every circuit from the live wire.
In home the distribution of power is made through an electric meter

Electric fuse : For the safety point of view electric fuses are utilised ;
various electrical circuits and thus electrical appliances are safeguarge
For the electric fuse those materials are used which have less melting po,
and easily melt on passing high electric current in the circuit. Whenever
overloading or a short circuiting occurs anywhere in the circuit, the cure”
of a very large magnitude starts to flow in the wire and the wire of
electric fuse melts so that the concerned appliancesare prevented to dama,
Always electric fuse is attached through the live or hot wire. Norma;
electric fuse is made of tin but good quality of fuse is made from the si”
of copper, tin and lead. Usually the electrical circuit from where the currer)
of 15 ampere is permissible to flow then thick wire is used for the fuse ang
through it maximum current passing capacity is of 15 ampere. Similar}
the electrical circuit from where the current of 5 ampere is permitted to pass,
a thin wire fuse is used and its maximum current passing capacity is of $
ampere.
Socket ; The socket is a three cylindrical holes fibre structure device
from where three wires pass. In the socket, the uppermost hole is large from
which earthing wire passes and from the lowermost right small hole live
wire passes, while from the lowermost left small hole neutral wire ‘passes,
Plug : In the plug there are three cylindrical needles which can be
completely enclosed in the socket. When any plug fits directly witha socket
then corresponding appliance is connected to mains (circuit) directly.
Regulator : The regulator acts (works) like a current controller in the
electrical circuits. This is used normally to increase or decrease the speed of
electric fan. Whenever the knob of the regulator is rotated then the electric
resistance of the wire increases or decreases by which the quantity of electric
current decreases or increases.
Electric switch : Through an electric switch the current in the circuit
‘er stopped or surpassed. With the electrical appliances like bulb, fan
ete. switches are connected in series. While the switch is always connected
between the phase wire and the appliance, but the neutral wire is directly
connected to the. appliance. Since the voltage of the phase wire is about
220 volt and during the off time or when appliances be not in action, phase
wire must be detached from the appliances. If this is not to be done then
appliance even in the absence of its action can provide a sharp electric shock
to anybody who will touch the appliance. This detachment of the phase
wire with the appliances are completed by installing the electric switches
at suitable places in the electric circuits.

fan direction. Here the end of the suspended magnet pointing towards North

¥ imaginary straight line passing through both poles is called magnetic axis.
oe The distance between both the poles is called magnetic length. If a freely
& suspended bar magnet is at rest, then the plane passing vertically upward
Hy from the magnetic axis is called magnetic meridian.
(ii) Property of attraction and repulsion of poles : Two unlike poles
(North-South) attract each other while two like poles (South-North, South-
South) repel each other. An isolated charge has its existence but an isolated

Types of snagnetic substances : Normally every substance in a strong
1agnetic magnetic field has some magnetic effect thus, broadly on the basis of
ssimpe etising behaviours it is categorised into three classes
ic lines (i) Paramagnetic substance : The Paramagnetic substances are those
which, when kept in a strong magnetic field, become weakly ™Magnetised
in the same sense as the external field. Platinum, ium, manganese,
copper sulphate, liquid oxygen and solution of the salts of iron ary nickel
‘ole of are examples of paramagnetic substances,
' back When a bar of paramagnetic substance is k Pt in an external magnetic
field, then the flux density (field intensity) of it is slightly greater than the
ux density in the free space. Thus, relative permeability #,(=11/ 41) becomes
ore slightly greater than 1.
ited Characteristics

(ii) Diamagnetic substance : The diamagnetic substances are
which become weakly magnetised in a direction opposite to that oj fie
applied field. Bismuth, antimony, gold, water alcobol, quartz, hy,
ete are the examples of such substances. Paogen
When a bar of diamagnetic substance is kept in an external field, fy,
density of it is less than the flux density of the free space. Thus, relativs
permeability , for diamagnetics is less than 1.
Characteristic
(a) If a bar of diamagnetic substance is suspended between the poles of
a magnet, it shows poles at its ‘end which are similar to those of the magnet
dnd turns until it is at right angle to the applied field.
(b) Ina non-uniform field a diamagnetic substance tends to move from
a stronger to a weaker parts of the field. If a diamagnetic liquid is kept in a
pieces very near to each other, the liquid is
watch glass resting on two pole-
ides where the field is weaker, producing a depression
accumulated on the si
in the middle. The reverse effect is observed when the poles are far apart.
(c) A diamagnetic field shows a depression in the limb of a U-tube kept
between the pole-pieces of a magnet.
(d) When a diamagnetic gas is allowed to ascend in between the poles
‘of a magnet across the field it spreads.
(e) The susceptibility of the diamagnetic substance is independent of
temperature.
(iii) Ferromagnetic substance : The ferromagnetic substances are those
which are strongly magnetised by a relatively weaker magnetic field and
it has the same sense as the applied magnetic field. Iron, cobalt, nickel,
godolinium and their alloys etc. are the most important ferromagnetics.
Ferromagnetics show all the characteristics of a paramagnetic toa much
higher degree. The ferromagnetic substances have relative permeabilities of
the order of the hundreds and thousands. The flux density in them may be
hundreds and thousands times as great as that of the free space due to the
same magnetising force. The flux density B in a ferromagnetic substance is
hot directly proportional to the magnetising force H. Thus the permeability
u(- 3 ) is not constant
The permeability (j) of a ferromagnetic substance decreases with rise
in temperature and becomes practically equal to 4, ata certain temperature,
hch ss called curie temperature. Above the curie temperature the
ferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic. The curie temperature for
iron is about 770°C.

Thus the total current flowing toward a node (or junction) is equal to

no accumulation of charge at any point in the circuit.

particle has exactly the same mass, spin and life time (if unstable) pi)

Bectron-volt : The electron-volt is a unit of energy in Atomic physicg
(or particle physics) and it is expressed as below,
TeV (electron-volt) = 1.6 * 107" Joule.
Cosmic rays : Cosmic rays are highly penetrating radiations consistin,
of high energy atomic nuclei which are continuously coming from ouics
space. Every second about 10'* cosmic rays reach the earth's surface ang
they have a wide range of energy from 10° to 10" electron-volts,
Elster and Geital in 1899 and Wilson in 1900 firstly detected the
rays. They found that the charge on very well insulated electroseo,
always leaked away in time although there was no ionising agent nearey
which could make the air conducting. It was then thought that the
leakage of charge was due to the ionising radiation from the radioactive
minerals in the earth. Victor Hess, in 1911 sent an electroscope in balloon
and found that intensity of the unknown ionising radiation was la,
at high altitudes of the surface of the earth. He therefore proposed thal

In other words photoelectric effect is a
phenomenon in which, when the light (photon) v
of appropriate wavelength or frequency incidents G@ Potentiat
onthe metallic surface called photo cathode, then Gan,
due to the production of photo electrons, photo ¥
current is generated. By the use of visible light,
only certain alkali metals like sodium, potassium -
etccanexhibit the phenomenon ofthe photoelectric
effect but using high frequency electromagnetic radiations (X-rays or
rays) almost metal can show the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric
effect can also be exhibited by liquids and gases. But in liquid it is called
electrolysis, while in the gas it is called ionization. It is also observed that
the number of photoelectrons emitted per second (photo current) varies
directly with the intensity of the incident light, but the energy (maximum)
of the photo electrons is independent of the intensity of the incident light.
The maximum energy of the liberated photo electrons only depends on the
frequency of the incident light or its wavelength. Also this energy varies
linearly with the frequency or inverse linearly with the wavelength of the
incident light (photon)

X-rays: X-raysare the short electromagnetic waves Which, Are Drag,
when rapidly moving electrons are stopped by the heavy Metallic ta, 7
tungsten, molybdenum, platinum etc, The metallic targets are eg
those which have high melting point, high atomic number and high, then
conductivity. me
X-rays were firstly observed and produced by Prof. WC. Rewny, 7
1895. X-rays were also referred to as Roentgen rays. Within thee mise
alter Roentgen’s discovery, X-rays were being put to use in a hospint, |
Vienna in connection with major surgical operations.
The device through which X-rays are Produced is called Xray wy,
There are two main types of the X-rays tube—
(@) Roentgen X-rays tube ; This is also called Bas filled X-ray, yy,
designed by Roentgen himself. Roentgen X-ray tube is the oldest and th,
» first-made tube.
(i) Coolidge X-rays tube : Almost all the defects of Roentgen tube hay,
been successfully removed in Coolidge-tube designed by W.D. Coolidge iy
1913. At present practically all the X-rays tubes used for surgical works and
others are of Coolidge type and that's why Coolidge X-rays tube is called |
|
modern X-rays tube.
Intensity and Quality of X-rays : The intensity of emitted X-rays is
directly proportional to the number of electrons striking the target, This in
turn depends upon the filament temperature, which can be controlled by
the heating current. Thus by the variation of heating current, the intensity
of X-rays beam can be controlled.
The quality or Penetrating power of X-rays dey .
‘ * Cepends upon the energy
z of the electrons bombarding the target. This energy (eV) ic Saha ie
the applied potential difference (V) between the cathode and the target. The
larger the applied voltage, the larger the energy of bombarding etetrom
and hence the larger the Penetrating power of X-rays,
Origin of X-rays : X-rays are Produced by bombarding high energy
electrons on some heavy metals. Due to ory large velocity, electrons
Penetrate well inside the atom of target metal and knock out one of the |

and the emission of sharp spectral lines, He proposed the followin,
modifications in Rutherford's model which were contrary to the cla
electromagnetic theory. : ;
(a) The electrons can revolve around the nucleus only in certain fixeg
orbits and they do not radiate energy while they remain in these permitteg
orbits, and the atomis stable. The permitted orbits are thosein whichangula,

h = Planck's constant
(b) The emission (or absorption) of the radiation
place when an electron jumps from one quantized
(permitted) orbit to another. The radiation is emitted
(or absorbed) as a single photon (quantum) whose
qheray Hy is equal to the difference in energy AF of
the electron in the two orbits involved,
Thus, AE = hy,
where, v= frequency of emitted or absorbed radiation
Hence. the spectrum of the atom will have certain fixed frequencies.

different for different materials. The normal good conductors like Cy,"
‘Au, Li, Na, Kete, donot exhibit the phenomenon of superconductivity, ont
at more and more lower temperature. Thus, these are called normal meta
This implies that in general not all materials are superconducting,
Since the superconducting state of a material is characterised by the zen,
electrical resistance even in the absence of an applied voltage and the cu,
can persist for years without any detectable decay. A bulk superconduc
in a weak magnetic field acts like a perfect diamagnet with zero magni,

field and then cooled down below its critical (transition) temperature (T ) 4
expelsalll the originally present magnetic flux from its interior and itis eae,
Meissner effect. In fact this phenomenon was observed by W. Meissner anj
R. Ochsenfeld in 1933.
Also scientists from all over the world have been trying to devel
the new materials that are superconducting at high temperatures, A breaj
through in this regard come into existence when a hot superconductor
was obtained in 1986. When Karl Alex Muller of IBM'S Zurich Lab made
a substance of metallic oxide of lanthanum-barium-copper called ceramics
that lostits electrical resistance at30 Kand it was called a hot superconducter,
In 1987 the value of transition temperature (T_.) raised up to about 90 Kwhen
Paul Chu and his team discovered a ceramic copper-oxide superconductor,
called cuprate consisting of Yttrium, barium and copper oxide.
Applications
(i) Large scale application of superconductor are in the transmission
ables made from superconductors can save 30 to 40 percent
power which is lost the conventional system of transmission. The solenoid
‘of a superconductor can trap a large amount of electrical energy endlessly
in itself.

carly time under the electronics vacuum tube diodes and triodes were used

tubes were replaced and discarded by the semi conductors and transistors
and now solid state electronic devices have been fabricated and designed

Ptolemy's Geocentric theory : In 140 AD Ptolemy, a Grock astro
audied about the universe and propounded the geocent tiie (Ea Kesar,
theory. According to this theory the earth is confined at the commie ot le
tniverse, while the sun and other planets revolve around the earth,
Copernicus's Heliocentric Theory : A Polish astronomer Cope
\ded the heliocentric (Sun + centric) theory in 1543 AD. Atconding
to this theory the sun is confined at the centre of the universe, while re
ath and other planets revolve around the sun. Thus Copernicus was the
first astronomer who propounded planetary motion around the sun.
Kepler's laws of planetary motion : J. Kepler (1571-1630) did rigorous
study of the celestial bodies and their motion. He concluded that all the
planets revolve around the sun in various elliptical paths.
Galileo : Galileo (1564-1642) who was a contemporary of Kepler
confirmed and supported the ideology and the comprehensive view of
Kepler. The beginning of modern astronomy come into existence in 1609,
when the refracting telescope was invented by Galileo. Galileo was the
astronomer who discovered four satellitesof the planet Jupiter and sun spots
in the sun, Galileo also asserted that the nearest star of the sun is proxima
centuari.
Sir Isaac Newton : British physicist New!
‘eflecting telescope in 1668 also contributed about the planetary molten
the basis of the explained gravitational force-field theory. Later Newton *
law of gravitation, which became the most fundamental and basic laws, was
found tobe equivalent to Kepler's laws.

Due to the contraction in proto star the number of collisions among the
atoms of gaseous cloud largely increases and consequently temperatire
is abruptly raised. The process of contraction in a star continues for
