11-Heat and thermodynamics HEAT AND THERMODYNAMICS Heat Heat is that form of energy. Zeroth Law Of Thermodynamics And Temperature If a system A is in thermal equilibrium with system B and the system B is in thermal equilibrium with system C, then systems A and C are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

Temperature scales Relation between Celsius, Kelvin and Fahrenheit Scale: C K  273 F  32   5 5 9

Example 1: The electrical resistance of pure platinum increases linearly with increasing temperature. This property is used in a Platinum resistance thermometer. The relation between R (Resistance at K) and R0 (Resistance at 0K) is given as





R Ro 1  α θ  θo  θ

where  = temperature coefficient of resistance. Now, if a Platinum resistance thermometer reads 00 Celsius when its resistance is 80 and 100o when its resistance is 90, find the temperature at which its resistance is 86. Solution:

CALORIMETRY Principle of Calorimetry

When two objects having different temperatures are brought in contact, heat flows from the hot object to the cold object. If the system is sufficiently thermally isolated from its surrounding, the heat lost by the hot object = the heat gained by the cold object.

Specific heat capacity

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of unit mass of a substance by 1 is known as its specific heat capacity. If Q amount of heat raises the temperature of m mass of a material by T , then its specific heat capacity is given as: s

Q mΔT



Q  msT

Also the amount of heat supplied per unit increase in temperature for any body is known as its heat capacity, c 

Q  ms . T

Specific Latent Heat

In order to change the state of a substance (from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas) heat has to be supplied to it. During this process temperature remains constant. The amount of heat supplied per unit mass for such a process is known as the Specific Latent Heat of that substance for that process. Example 2: 5 gm of water at 30oC and 5 gm of ice at - 20oC are mixed together in a calorimeter. Find the final temperature of mixture and also the final masses of ice and water. Water equivalent of calorimeter is negligible, specific heat of ice = 0.5 cal/gm oC and latent heat of ice = 80 cal/gm. Solution:

In this case heat is given by water and taken by ice Heat available with water to cool from 30oC to 0oC = ms = 51 30 150 cal . Heat required by 5 gm ice to increase its temperature up to 0 oC ms  50.5 20  50 cal Out of 150 cal heat available, 50 cal is used for increasing temperature of ice from - 20oC to 0oC. The remaining heat 100 cal is used for melting the ice. if mass of ice melted is m gm then m  80  100  m  125 . gm

Thus 1.25 gm ice out of 5 gm melts and the mixture of ice and water is at 0oC. Mechanical Equivalent of Heat

1 calorie is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of pure water at 1 atm pressure from 14.5C to 15.5C. When work is completely converted to heat, the quantity of heat produced (Q) is found to be proportional to the quantity of work (W) that was converted into heat WQ Or,

W = JQ, where J is known as the Mechanical Equivalent of Heat. J = 4.2  107 erg cal-1 = 4.2 J/cal

Example 3: A bullet splinter of mass of 10 gm moving with a speed of 400 m/s hits an ice block of mass 990 gm kept on a frictionless floor and gets stuck in it. How much ice will melt if 50% of the lost Kinetic energy goes to ice? (Temperature of ice block = 0oC). Solution:

95 cal = 1.2 gm. 80 Cal / gm

Thermal Expansion An increase in the temperature of a body is generally accompanied by an increase in its size. This is known as Thermal Expansion. 

The value of linear coefficient of thermal expansion at temperature T can be found by taking limit T  0 . 1  L  lim    T  0  T  L





or

1  dL     L  dT 

For most of the solids the value of  is small and nearly independent of T. In such cases the linear dimension of an object at a different temperature is given by: L  L o (1 T)

(Here L o is the initial length and T is the change in temperature).

Example 4: A clock with an iron pendulum is made so as to keep correct time at 10oC. Given αiron12 10 6 per oC . How fast or slow does the clock move per day if the temperature rises to 250 C? Given iron = 12  106 per 0C. Solution:

When the pendulum keeps correct time, its period of vibration is 2 sec and so it makes 24  60  60  43200 Vibration /day 2

If length of pendulum at 10oC is  10 and at 25oC is  25   25 10[1 (2510)]

That is the clock makes (43200  43196.12) = 3.88 vibration loss per day. That is clock losses 3.88  2 = 7.76 sec per day. Area and Volume expansion

If the temperature of a two-dimensional object (lamina) is changed, its area changes. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of lamina is small and constant, then its final area is given by A  A o 1  T , where A o is the initial area, T is the change in temperature and

 is the area coefficient of thermal expansion.

It can be shown that   2 . Similar relation also holds for the volume of a three-dimensional object V  Vo 1  T 

(Here   3 is known as the coefficient of volume expansion). For most solids,  ~ 106/C

Thermal Expansion in liquids: The experimental measurement of  for a liquid becomes slightly difficult due to expansion of the container, when a liquid is heated in a container. The initial level of the liquid falls due to expansion of the container. But afterwards it rises due to faster expansion of the liquid.

The actual increase in the the apparent + The increase in the volume of = volume of the liquid increase in the the container. volume of liquid liquid = apparent + container , for liquids, is of the order of 104/C

Anomalous expansion of water: If the temperature of water is increased from 0oC, it contracts until the temperature reaches 4oC and expands thereafter. In other words the density of water is highest at 4oC.

Example 5: A glass vessel of volume Vo is completely filled with a liquid and its temperature is raised by T . What volume of the liquid will overflow? Coefficient of linear expansion of glass =  g and coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid = . Solution:

Volume of the liquid over flown = Increase in the volume of the liquid  increase in the volume of the container =  Vo (1    T)  Vo    Vo (1   g T)  Vo 

= Vo T(     g ) = Vo T(   3 g )

(  3 )

Thermal Stress When a rod of length L is held between two rigid supports and the temperature of rod is increased by T , the rigid supports prevent the rod from expanding. This causes compressive stress in the rod. As the length of the rod remains unchanged, Thermal expansion = Mechanical compression LT  

Thermal stress F / A  YT , which is compressive.

KINETIC THEORY OF GASES Fluids consist of molecules which are in random motion, which collide with each other and with the walls of the container. The intermolecular separation in a gas is larger by an order of magnitude than the intermolecular separation in a liquid. The intermolecular separation in a gas increases as the temperature increases, and decreases with increasing density. it is experimentally observed that most gases follow a universal equation of state pV = n RT Gas molecules are relatively free: the interactions between them are small. This means that the total energy of the gas molecules is mostly kinetic. A simple model of a gas, with point particles representing molecules and their collisions with the walls of the confining vessel causing the pressure exerted by the gas leads to some important conclusions:

(a)

The pressure exerted by an ideal gas is given by p=

1 2  mc rms , where  = number of molecules per unit volume, 3

m = mass of each molecule, crms = the rms speed of each molecule.

(b)

The total internal energy of an ideal gs is

1 2



U = Nf  k B T  where N = number of molecules in the gas, f = number of 

degree of freedom, T = absolute temperature of the gas, kB = R NA = Boltzmann’s constant.

(C)

The rms speed is given by crms=

3RT , where M represents the molar mass of the gas (i.e. mass M

of 1 mole of the gas)

(d)

The pressure of an ideal gas is given by p =

2 U tran , where Utran is the translational energy of the molecules of 3 V

the gas.

Example6: Find r.m.s speed of Hydrogen molecules at room temperature (=300 k). Solution:

Mass of 1 mole of Hydrogen gas= 2 gm = 2 10-3 kg  Vrms = =

3 RT M

3  8.3  300 2  10  3

= 1.93  103 m/s.

2.

When the container contains more than one gas, total pressure exerted by all the gases on the wall is sum of pressures exerted by each gas as it would while filling the container alone. In a way, each gas behaves independent of each other. Thus we have P = P1+P2+P3+……, where P1, P2, P3 are the partial pressures of gases 1, 2 & 3 respectively This is known as Dalton’s Law of partial pressures.

3.

One mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 litre at standard temperature and Pressure which are 273.15 (=0°C) and 1.013105 Pa (=1atm) respectively,

Example 7: 4 gm Hydrogen is mixed with 11.2 litre of He at S.T.P. in a container of volume 20 litre. If the final temperature is 300 K find the pressure. Solution:

4 gm Hydrogen = 2 moles Hydrogen 11.2  He at S.T.P. = 1/2 mole of He P = PH + PHe = (nH+nHe)

8.3  (300 k ) RT = (2+½) V (20  10 3 )m3

= 3.12 105 N/m2.

Internal Energy Internal energy, of any body is sum total of kinetic energies and potential energies of its constituents (at molecular level). In case of an ideal gas, as there are no intermolecular forces, except during collision the possibility of potential energy is ruled out, so it is only kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of the molecules can be of three types. (i)

Translational

(ii)

Rotational

(iii)

Vibrational

In a way, it means that the energy of molecules is shared in various modes. These independent modes of motions are called degrees of freedom. The table given below gives the number of degrees of freedom for various types of molecules at normal temperature.

* At room temperature the energy associated with vibrational motion is negligibly small in comparison to translational and rotational K.E. Equipartition of Energy According to the Law of equipartition of energy the average K.E. of a molecule is equally shared among different degrees of freedom. The average energy per degree of freedom of a molecule is ½ kT, where k is the Boltzmann’s constant and T is the absolute temperature. Thus, for a monoatomic ideal gas: U (the internal energy) = Also for one mole U =

3 kT 2

3 RT 2

Example 8: Find the average kinetic energy per molecule at temperature T for an equimolar mixture of two ideal gases A and B where A is monoatomic and B is diatomic. Solution:

No. of degrees of freedom per molecule for A = 3 No. of degrees of freedom per molecule for B = 5 Since the mixture is equimolar, the average kinetic energy per molecule will be given by the average of the two values i.e. 35  kT = 4kT   2 

where k is Boltzmann’s constant.

Work Done In Different Processes Work done by an enclosed gas on its surroundings is given by W = p dV For different types of processes, we have got different relations between p (Pressure) and V (Volume) and accordingly we have different expressions for work.

(a)

Isochoric Process Here, the volume is constant throughout and therefore the work done by the gas, irrespective of the manner in which pressure varies, is zero Wisochoric = 0

(b)

Isobaric Process In this case, pressure of the gas remains constant throughout the process. Hence,  pdV = p V = n RT(n = number of moles) ( T= change in absolute temperature)

(C)

Isothermal process The temperature remains constant throughout the process. Using ideal gas equation, we get, p=

First Law of Thermodynamics First law of thermodynamics is simply a re-statement of the principle of conservation of energy for a thermally isolated system. If Q, U & W represent the heat given to the system, change in its internal energy and the work done by the system respectively, the first law of thermodynamics states that,

Q = U + W The heat transferred to the system (Q) is either utilised to do work (W) or increase the internal energy of the system (U). Example 9: 3000 J of heat is given to a gas at constant pressure of 2  105 N/m2. If its volume increases by 10 litres during the process find the change in the internal energy of the gas Q = 3000 J

Solution:

W = P  V = (2105 N/m2) (10 10-3m3) = 2  103 J U = Q – W = 3000  2000= 1000 J.

Specific Heat Capacities of Gases S=

 Q   T   

where Q = amount of heat required for ‘T’ temperature change. m = mass of the gas. In case of gases, the concept of a molar heat capacity is useful. Molar heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of the gas by one degree. So, if Q amount of heat goes to change the temperature of ‘n’ moles of a gas in a particular process, molar heat capacity ‘C’ can be mathematically given by: C=

1  Q  n  T 

In terms of differentials, C=

1 dQ n dT

Two special cases are:(i)

If volume is kept constant during the process then CV =

1  Q  n  T  V constant

This is the molar heat capacity of the gas at constant volume Note: Since U is independent of the process. U = n Cv T is true for all processes.

(ii)

If pressure remains constant, then Cp =

1  Q  n  T  pconstant

This is the molar heat capacity of the gas at constant pressure

Relation Between Cp and Cv Cp  Cv = R This is known as Mayer’s relation.

The Values of Cp and Cv If f is the number of degrees of freedom of a gas molecule then the internal energy of n moles of that gas is given as U = f/2 n RT 

U = f/2 n RT = n CvT



Cv = f/2 R

From Mayer’s Relation Cp = Cv + R Cp = (f/2+1)R And the ratio of specific heats = =

f /21 f /2

f 2 2 = 1 f f

Example 10: Find the molar heat capacity of an ideal gas with adiabatic exponent ‘’ for the polytropic process P V  = constant. Solution:

We have, from first law of thermodynamics C = Cv +

(n = number of moles)

We have, P V = constant From Ideal gas equation P V = n RT

Taking ratio, T V1 = Constant Differentiating we get

Second law of thermodynamics

(i) Kelvin Statement:- It is impossible to derive a continuous supply of work by cooling a body to a temperature lower than that of the coldest of its surroundings.

(ii) Clausius Statement:-It is impossible for a self acting machine, unaided by an external agency to transfer heat from a body to another at higher temperature.

Reversible Process: A process which can be made to proceed in the reverse direction by variations in its conditions so that all changes occurring in any part of the direct process are exactly reversed in the corresponding part of the reverse process is called a reversible processes. Irreversible Process: A process which can not be made to proceed in the reverse direction is called an irreversible process. Heat Engine: It is a device which continuously converts heat energy into the mechanical energy in a cyclic process.

Efficiency of heat engine:

=

Q work output W Q1  Q 2 =   1 2 Q1 Q1 heat input Q1

Where Q1 is the heat supplied by the source and Q2 is the heat rejected to the sink.

Carnot Engine: It is an ideal heat engine which is based on Carnot's reversible cycle. It works in four steps viz. Isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression and adiabatic compression. The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by =1

Q2 T =1 2 T1 Q1

where T1 and T2 are the temperatures of source and sink respectively. Example 11: The efficiency of a Carnot cycle is 1/6. If on reducing the temperature of the sink by 650C, the efficiency becomes 1/3, find the initial and final temperatures between which the cycle is working. Solution:

Given 1 =

1 1 , 2 = 6 3

If the temperatures of the source and the sink between which the cycle is working are T1 and T2, then the efficiency in the first case will be 1 = 1 -

T2 1 = T1 6

In the second case 2 = 1  Solving T1 = 390 K and

T2  65 T1

T2 = 325 K.

(B)

140oC

(C)

160oC

(D)

183oC

Ans. (a)

Solution 3-5: 3.

The masses of hydrogen and helium gases in the vessels are equal. This means that the product of the number of molecules and the mass of a molecule must be same for H2 and He gases. Since molecular masses of H2 and He are in the ratio 1: 2, their number of molecules nH and nHe in the vessels must be in the reverse ratio, that is,

4.

The equation of state for one mole of a gas is pV = RT = NkT

nH 2  nHe 1

Where N is Avogadro’s number (no. of molecules in one mole) and k is Boltzmann’s constant. If a gas has n molecules, the equation of state will be pV = nkT For a given volume and a given temperature, we have p  n. Since H2 and He have same volume and same temperature (27 oC), we have pH n 2  H  pHe nHe 1

Here pH = 2 atm. 

5.

pHe = 1 atm.

Again, we have pV = nkT H2 and He have equal volumes. For having equal pressure, we must have nHTH = nHeTHe or

THe n  H 2 TH nHe

Here THe = 27 + 273 = 300 K



TH =

= 150  273 = 123oC

Thermal Expansion

When a body is heated, it expands in terms of length, area & volume and temperature rises. In a solid, molecules can only have thermal agitation (random vibrations). As temperature of a body increases, the vibrations of molecules will become fast and due to this the rate of collision among neighbouring molecules increases, it develops a thermal stress in the body and due to this the intermolecular separation increases which results in thermal expansion of body. At ordinary temperatures, the atoms in a solid oscillate about their equilibrium position with an amplitude of approximately 10–11 m. The average spacing between the atoms is about 10–10 m. As the temperature of solid increases, the atoms oscillate with greater amplitudes, as a result the average separation between them increases. Consequently the object expands. In the similar way the block diagram shown in Fig. explains the way how thermal expansion takes place. Temperature of Body Increases

Themal vibration energy of molecules increases

Rate of collision between neighbouring molecules increases

Interatomic separation increases

Thermal exp ansion takes place

Thermal expansion of a substance can be classified in three broad categories, these are (i) Linear Expansion (ii) Superficial Expansion and (iii) Cubical Expansion or Volume Expansion (i) Linear Expansion: Consider a rod of length l1 at a temperature T1. Let it be a heated to a temperature T2 and the increased length of the rod be l2 then l2 l1 (1 t)   Coefficient of linear expansion and t  T2  T1 Example 1. The density of substance at 0C is 10 g cm-3 and at 100C, its density is 9.7g cm-3. The coefficient of linear expansion of substance is d0  dt (1  3t) Solution: 10  9.7(1  3  100) 0.3  10  1  1   or    0.0001/ C or  9.7  300  9.7  300

(ii) Superficial Expansion (expansion in surface area): If A1 is the area of solid at T1 C and A2 is the area at T2C . Then A2  A1(1   t )  Coefficient of superficial (areal) expansion and t  T2  T1

(iii) Volume expansion (Part A: expansion in solids): If V1 is the volume of solid at T1C and V1 is the volume at T2 C then V2  V1 1  t   coefficient of cubical (volume) expansion and t  T2  T1

Note: For isotopic solids:   2,   3

Relation between expansion coefficient are 6  3,   2 

As temperature increases, density of solid decreases. If d1 is the density at T1C, d2 is the density at T2C then d1 d2 = or d2 =d1 1- t  where t  T2  T1 1+t  (iv) Expansion of gases (Part B: expansion in gases): Pressure coefficient of a gas is the ratio of increase in pressure for 1C rise in temperature to the pressure at 0C, provided the volume of the gas is kept constant. p =

pt  po po t

Where p = pressure coefficient Pt = pressure at tC Po= pressure at 0C Volume coefficient of a gas is similarly defined as (pressure being kept constant) V  Vo v = t Vo t Where v = volume coefficient Vt = volume at tC Vo= volume at 0C Experiments have shown the value of p (or v) is the same for all gases and equal to 1/273 per degree celsius, i.e. 1 1 perC or per K, p = v = 273 273 Where K stands for absolute of kelvin temperature. Example 2. A grid iron pendulum consists of 5 iron rods and 4 brass rods. What will be the length of each brass rod if the length of each iron rod is 1 m ? (Fe= 12  10-6/C, brass = 20  10-6/C) Solution: There are 5 iron rods and 4 brass rods in the pendulum. The number of iron in one half of the pendulum including the central rod is 3. The number of brass rods is 2. Since the pendulum is compensated,  lbrass  liron or

TIME PERIOD OF PENDULUM

Time period (T) of a sample pendulum of length l is given by l T  2 g If there is a rise in temperature by t, length of the pendulum increases and hence the time period increase. As a result the clock slows down. If l0 be the length of the pendulum and corresponding time period be T0 then l T0  2 0 g If the pendulum be heated by t (rise in temperature), the new time period T1 is:

T1  2

If t is the fall in temperature, same equation will give the time gained by the clock per second as its oscillation will become faster due to reduction in its length. 

Example 4:

A clock with a metallic pendulum is 5 second fast each day at a temperature of 15 o C and 10 seconds slow each day at a temperature of 30 o C . Find coefficient of linear expansion for the metal.

Solution:

Time lost or gained per second by a pendulum clock is given by 1 ( Here T is difference of temperature) t  T 2 Here temperature is higher then graduation temperature thus clock will loose time and if it is lower then graduation temperature will gain time. 1 t  T  86400 [as 1 day  86400sec.] 2 If graduation temperature of clock is T0 then we have. At 15C, clock is gaining time, thus 1 5 =  T0  15   86400 ……(1) 5 At 30C clock is loosing time, thus 1 ……(2) 10 =   30  T0   86400 5 Dividing equation (2) by (1), we get 2(T0 – 15) = (30 – T0) or T0 = 20C Thus from equation (1) 1 5 =     20  15  86400 2   2.31 105 C

SPECIFIC HEAT

When heat energy flows into a substance, the temperature of the substance usually rises. The heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of a body through 1 oC or ( 1 oK ) is called specific heat capacity or simply specific heat of the material of the body. If Q heat changes the temperature of mass m by T. 1 Q … (1) c  m T The SI unit of specific heat is J/kg K. Heat is so frequently measured in calories, therefore the practical unit cal/g C is also used quite often. The specific heat capacity of water is approximately 1 cal/g C. From Eq. (1), we can define the specific heat of a substance as “the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of unit mass of that substance by 1C (or 1 K)”. A closely related quantity is the Molar heat capacity C. It is defined as, 1 dQ … (2) C  n dT where n is the number of moles of the substance. If M is the molecular mass of the m substance, then n = were m is the mass of the substance and, M M dQ  C= … (3) m dT The SI units of C is J / mole K. Key points: (a) It depends on nature of material of body. Dulong and petit has found formula for elemental solids that (with few exceptions such as carbon) Atomic weight  Specific heat  6 cal / oC So, heavier the element lesser will be the specific heat, i.e., CHg < CCu< CAl

Specific heat of a substance also depends on temperature (particularly at low temperatures) the variation of specific heat with temperature for wateris shown in Fig (A) for metals in Fig (B). This temperature dependence of specific heat is usually neglected. 1.008

If a substance is undergoing change of state which takes place at constant temperature (called isothermal change) , specific heat 1 dQ 1 dQ      [as T = 0] c  m 0 m dT i.e., specific heat of a substance at its melting pint or boiling point or isothermal change is infinite. Specific heat is found to be maximum for hydrogen (3.5 cal/gm C) then for water (1 cal/gm C = 4200 J/kg K). For all other substances specific heat is lesser than 1 cal/gm C and is minimum for radon and actinium (= 0.22 cal/gam C) If the temperature of a body changes without transfer of heat with the surroundings (adiabatic change) as in shaking a liquid or compressing a gas, Q 0 c= =0 [as Q = 0]  mT mT i.e., specific heat of a substance, when it undergoes adiabatic change, is zero. Specific heat of a substance can also be negative. Negative specific heat means that in order to raise the temperature, a certain quantity of heat is to be withdrawn from the body. Specific heat of saturated water vapours is negative. When specific heats are measured, the values obtained are also found to depend on the conditions of the experiment. In general measurements made at constant pressure are different from those at constant volume. For solids and liquids this difference is very small and usually neglected. The specific heat of gases are quite different under constant pressure condition (cp) to constant volume condition (cv). As by definition c = (Q/m T), heat required to change the temperature of m gm of a substance through T: Q = mc T and as T = (Q/mc), greater the specific heat of a substance lesser will be the change in temperature for a given mass when same amount of heat is supplied. Now as specific heat of water is very large (1 cal/g C), by absorbing or releasing large

amount of heat its temperature changes by small amounts. This is why, it is used in hot water bottles or as coolant in radiators. This is also how the sea moderates the climate of nearby coastal land.

WATER EQUIVALENT

Water–equivalent of a body is the mass of water which when given same amount of heat as to the body, changes the temperature of water through same range as that of the body, i.e., W = (m  c) gm The unit of water equivalent W is gm while its dimensions [M].

PHASE CHANGES AND LATENT HEAT

Suppose that we slowly heat a cube of ice whose temperature is below 0C at atmospheric pressure, what changes do we observe in the ice? Initially we find that its temperature increases according to equation Q = mc(T2 – T1). Once 0C is reached, the additional heat does not increase the temperature of the ice. Instead, the ice melts and temperature remains at 0C. The temperature of the water then starts to rise and eventually reaches 100C, whereupon the water vaporizes into steam at this same temperature. During phase transitions (solid to liquid or liquid to gas) the added heat causes a change in the positions of the molecules relative to one another, without affecting the temperature. The heat necessary to change a unit mass of a substance from one phase to another is called the latent heat (L). Thus, the amount of heat required for melting and vaporizing a substance of mass m are given by, Q = mL … (1) For a solid-liquid transition, the latent heat is known as the latent heat of fusion (Lf) and for the liquid-gas transition, it is known as the latent heat of vaporization (Lv).

PRINCIPLE OF CALORIMETRY

When two bodies (one being solid and other liquid or both being liquid) at different temperatures are mixed, heat will be transferred from body at higher temperature to body at lower temperature till both acquire same temperature. The body at higher temperature releases heat while body at lower temperature absorbs it, so that: Heat lost = Heat gained, i.e. principle of calorimetry represents the law of conservation of heat energy. While, using this principle always keep in mind that:

(a)

Temperature of mixture (T) is always  lower temperature (TL) and  higher temperature (TH), i.e., TL  T  TH i.e. the temperature of mixture can never be lesser than lower temperatures (as a body cannot be cooled below the temperature of cooling body) and greater than higher temperature (as a body cannot be heated above the temperature of heating body when there is no chemical reaction).

(b)

When temperature of a body changes, the body releases heat if its temperature falls and absorbs heat when its temperature rises. The heat released or absorbed by a body of mass m is given by: Q = mc T Where c is specific heat of the body and T change in its temperature in C or K.

(c)

When state of a body changes, change of state takes place at constant temperature [m.pt. or b.pt.] and heat released or absorbed is given by Q = mL Where L is latent heat. Heat is absorbed if solid converts into liquid (at m.pt.) or liquid converts into vapours (at b.pt.) and is released if liquid converts into solid or vapours converts into liquid.

HEAT TRANSFER Heat can be transferred from one place to the other by any of three possible ways: conduction, convection and radiation. In the conduction, convection processes, a medium is necessary for the heat transfer. Radiation, however, does no have this restriction. This is also the fastest mode of heat transfer, in which heat is transferred from one place to the other in the form of electromagnetic radiation. (i) Conduction Figure shows a rod whose ends are in thermal contact with a hot reservoir at temperature T1 and a cold reservoir at temperature T2. The sides of the rod are covered with insulating medium, so the transport of heat T1  T2 is along the rod, not through the sides. The molecules at the hot reservoir have greater vibrational energy. This T1 Q energy is transferred by collisions to the atoms at the end (Hot) face of the rod. These atoms in turn transfer of heat through a substance in which heat is transported without direct mass transport is called conduction. Most metals use another, more effective mechanism to conduct heat. The free electrons, which move throughout the metal can rapidly carry energy from the hotter to cooler regions, so metals are generally good conductors of heat. The presence of ‘free’ electrons also causes most metals to be good electrical conductors. A metal rod at 5C feels colder than a piece of wood at 5C because heat can flow more easily from your hand into the metal. Heat transfer occurs only between regions that are at different temperature, and the rate dQ . This rate is also called the heat current, denoted by H. Experiments of heat flow is dt show that the heat current is proportional to the cross-section area A of the rod and to the

T2 (Cold)

temperature gradient

dT , which is the rate of change of temperature with distance along dx

the bar. In general dQ dT H=  kA dt dx

… (1)

dQ dT a positive quantity since is negative. The dt dx constant k, called the thermal conductivity is measure of the ability of a material to conduct heat. A substance with a large thermal conductivity k is a good heat conductor. The value of k depends on the temperature, increasing slightly with increasing temperature, but k can be taken to be practically constant throughout a substance if the temperature difference between its ends is not too great. Let us apply Eq. (1) to a rod of length L and constant cross sectional area A in which a steady state has been reached. In a steady state the temperature at each point is constant in time. Hence, dT   T1 T2 dx Therefore, the heat Q transferred in time t is T T  Q  kA  1 2  t …(2)  L 

The negative sign is used to make

Thermal Resistance (R) Eq. (2) in differential form can be written as dQ T T …(3) H   dt l / kA R Here, T = temperature difference (T.D) and l = thermal resistance of the rod. R kA (ii) Convection Although conduction does occur in liquids and gases also, heat is transported in these media mostly by convection. In this process, the actual motion of the material is responsible for the heat transfer. Familiar examples include hot-air and hot-water home heating systems, the cooling system of an automobile engine and the flow of blood in the body. You probably have warmed your hands by holding them over an open flame. In this situation, the air directly above the flame is heated and expands. As a result, the density of this air decreases and then air rises. When the movement results from differences in density, as with air around free, it is referred to as natural convection. Air flow at a beach is an example of natural convection. When the heated substance is forced to move by a fan or pump, the process in called forced convection. If it were not for convection currents, it would be very difficult to boil water. As water is heated in a kettle, the heated water expands and rises to the top because its density is lowered. As the same time, the denser, cool water at the surface sinks to the bottom of the kettle and is heated. Heating a room by a radiator is an example of forced convection. Ingen Hausz Experiment:

Ingen Hausz provided a method to compare the thermal conductivities of different materials. He took wax coated rods of different materials but of the same area. One end of the rods is kept in a hot water bath and the other end is kept at the temperature of surroundings. If 1, 2, 3 . . . represent the lengths upto which the wax has melted and K1, K2, K3 . . . are their thermal conductivities, then K1  21

(iii) Radiation The third means of energy transfer is radiation which does not require a medium. The best known example of this process is the radiation from sun. All objects radiate energy continuously in the form of electromagnetic waves. 1  2  Energy  2 0E  The rate at which an object radiates energy is proportional to   the fourth power of its absolute temperature. This is known as the Stefan’s law and is expressed in equation form as P = AeT4 Here P is the power in watts (J/s) radiated by the object, A is the surface area in m2, e is a fraction between 0 and 1 called the emissivity of the object and  is a universal constant called Stefan’s constant, which has the value  = 5.67  10–8 W/m2-K4 BLACK BODY RADIATION (i)

Perfectly black body

A body that absorbs all the radiation incident upon it and has an emissivity equal to 1 is called a perfectly black body. A black body is also an ideal radiator. It implies that if a black body and an identical another body are kept at the same temperature, then the black body will radiate maximum power as is obvious from equation p = eat4 also. Because e = 1 for a perfectly black body while for any other body e < 1. Materials like black velvet or lamp black come close to being ideal black bodies, but the best practical realization of an ideal black body is a small hole leading into a cavity, as this Absorbs 98% of the radiation incident on them. (ii) Absorptive power ‘a’ “It is defined as the ratio of the radiant energy absorbed by it in a given time to the total radiant energy incident on it in the same interval of time.” energy absorbed a energy incident As a perfectly black body absorbs all radiations incident on it, the absorptive power of a perfectly black body is maximum and unity. (iii) Spectral absorptive power ‘a’ The absorptive power ‘a’ refers to radiations of all wavelengths (or the total energy) while the spectral absorptive power is the ratio of radiant energy absorbed by a surface to the radiant energy incident on it for a particular wavelength . It may have different values for different wavelengths for a given surface. Let us take an example, suppose a = 0.6, a = 0.4 for 1000 Å and a = 0.7 for 2000 Å for a given surface. Then it means that this surface will absorbs only 60% of the total radiant energy incident on it. Similarly it absorbs 40% of the energy incident on it corresponding to 1000 Å and 70% corresponding to 2000 Å. The spectral absorptive power a is related to absorptive power a through the relation 

a   a d  0

(iv) Emissive power ‘e’ (Don’t confuse it with the emissivity e which is different from it, although both have the same symbols e). “For a given surface it is defined as the radiant energy emitted per second per unit area of the surface.” It has the units of W/m2 or J/s–m2. For a black body e=T4. (v) Spectral emissive power ‘e’ “It is emissive power for a particular wavelength .” Thus, 

COOLING BY RADIATION Consider a hot body at temperature T placed in an environment at a lower temperature T0. The body emits more radiation than it absorbs and cools down while the surrounding absorb radiation from the body and warm up. The body is losing energy by emitting radiations at a rate. P1 = eAT4 and is receiving energy by absorbing radiations at a rate P2 = aAT04 Here ‘a’ is a pure number between 0 and 1 indicating the relative ability of the surface to absorb radiation from its surroundings. Note that this ‘a’ is different from the absorptive power ‘a’. In thermal equilibrium, both the body and the surrounding have the same temperature (say Tc) and, P1 = P2 or eATc4 = aATc4 or e=a Thus, when T > T0, the net rate of heat from the body to the surroundings is, dQ  eA (T4 – T04) dt  dT  4 4 or mc     eA (T – T0 )  dt   Rate of cooling

NEWTON’S LAW OF COOLING According to this law, if the temperature T of the body is not very different from that dT of the surroundings T0, then rate of cooling – is proportional to the temperature dt difference between them. T0 prove it let us assume that T = T0 + T 4

It is placed  in an atmosphere whose temperature is 0.

WEIN’S DISPLACEMENT LAW At ordinary temperatures (below about 600C) the thermal radiation emitted by a body is not visible, most of it is concentrated in wavelengths much longer than those of visible light. Figure shows how the energy of a black body radiation varies with temperature and wavelength. As the temperature of the black body increases, two distinct behaviours are observed. The first effect is that the peak of the distribution shifts to shorter wavelengths. This shift if found to obey the following relationship called Wein’s displacement law maxT = b Here b is a constant called Wein’s e constant. The value of this constant in 4000 K SI unit is 2.898  10–3 m–K. Thus, 3000 K 1 max  T 2000 K Here max is the wavelength corresponding to the maximum spectral emissive power e. 0 3 1 2 4 The second effect is that the total Wavelength ( m) amount of energy the black body emits per unit area per unit time (= T4) increases with fourth power of absolute temperature T. This is also known as the emissive power. We know e =

measurment OF SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY & error analysis As shown in the figure Regnault’s apparatus to determine the specific heat capacity of a solid heavier than water, and insoluble in it. A wooden partitions P separates a steam chamber O and A calorimeter C. The steam chamber O is a double walled cylindrical vessel. Steam can be passed in the space between the two walls through an inlet A and it can escape out through an outlet B. The upper part of the vessel is closed by a cork. The given solid may be suspended the vessel is closed by a cork. The given solid may be suspended in the vessel by a thread passing through the cork. A thermometer T1 is also inserted into the vessel to record the temperature of the solid. The stem chamber is kept on a wooden platform with a removable wooden disc D closing the bottom hole of the chamber. To start with, the experimental solid (in the form of a ball or a block) is weighed and then suspended in the steam chamber. Steam is prepared by boiling water in a separate boiler and is passed through the steam chamber. A calorimeter with a stirrer is weighed and sufficient amount of water is kept in it so that the solid may be completely immersed in it. The calorimeter is again weighed with water to get the mass of the water. The initial temperature of the water is noted. When the temperature of the solid becomes constant (say for 15 minutes), the partition P is removed. The calorimeter is taken below the steam chamber, the wooden disc D is removed and the thread is cut to drop the solid in the calorimeter. The calorimeter is taken to its original place and is stirred. The maximum temperature of the mixture is noted. Calculation: Let the mass of the solid =m1 mass of the calorimeter and the stirrer =m2 mass of the water =m3 specific heat capacity of the solid =s1 specific heat capacity of the material of the calorimeter(and stirrer) =s 2 specific heat capacity of water =s3 initial temperature of the solid =1 initial temperature of the calorimeter, stirrer and water =2 final temperature of the mixture = We have heat lost by the solid =m1s1(1-) heat gained by the calorimeter (and the stirrer) =m2s2(-2) Assuming no loss of heat to the surrounding the heat lost by the solid goes into the calorimeter stirrer and water. Thus m1s1(1 – ) = m2s2 (–2)+ m2s3( – 2) ……(1) (m2s2  m3 s3 )(  2 ) or s1 = m1(1  ) Knowing the specific heat capacity of water (s3 = 4186 J/kg-K) and that of the material of the calorimeter and the stirrer (s2=389 J/kg-K if the material be copper), one can calculate s1.Specific heat capacity of a liquid can also be measured with the Regnault apparatus. Here a solid of known specific heat capacity s1 is used and the

experimental liquid is taken in the calorimeter in place of water. The solid should be denser than the liquid. Using the same procedure and with the same symbols we get an equation identical to equation (1) above, that is, m1s1(1– ) = m2s2 (–2) + m3s3( – 2) in which s3 is the specific heat capacity of the liquid. We get m s  (1  )m2s2 S3 = 1 1 m3 (  2 )m3 Error analysis After correcting for systematic errors, equation (1) is used to estimate the remaining errors.

In aluminum sheet there is a hole of diameter 2m and is horizontally mounted on a stand. Onto this hole an iron sphere of radius 2.004 m is resting. Initial temperature of this system is 25° C.

(A) 82C (B) 43C (C) 45C (D) 15C

Solution:

(B) As value of coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum is more than that for ion, it expends faster then iron. So at some higher temperature when diameter of hole will exactly become equal to that of iron sphere, the sphere will pass through the hole. Let it happen at some higher temperature T. Thus we have at this temperature T, (diameter of hole)Al = (diameter of sphere)iron 2[1 + Al (T – 25)] = 2.004[1 + iron(T – 25)] 2Al (T – 25) = 0.004 + 2.004 iron (T – 25)   0.004  25  C or T    2 AL  2.004iron  0.004 or T   25 2  2.4  104  2.004  8.6  105 or T = 43C

An iron ball has a diameter of 6 cm and is 0.010 mm too large to pass through a hole in a brass plate when the ball and plate are at a temperature of 30C. At what temperature, the same for ball and plate, will the ball just pass through the hole? (A) 23.8C (B) 13.8C (C) 53.8C (D) 83.8C (C) We let I stand for the iron ball and B stand for the brass plate. LI = 6 cm and LI – LB = 0.001 cm at t = 30C. Since the brass plate expands uniformly, the hole must expand in the same proportion. Then heating both the ball and the plate leads to increases in the diameters of the ball and the hole, with the hole increasing more, since B > I. We require LB – LI = 0.001 cm. LB = BLB t; LI = ILI t. We can approximate LB in this formula by 6 cm = LI. Then LB –LI = (B – I)LI t = 0.001 cm solving, t = 23.8C, and finally t = 30C + 23.8C = 53.8C

13-Electrostatics

ELECTROSTATICS ELECTRIC CHARGE Charge is the physical property of certain fundamental particles (like electron, proton). Charges are divided into two parts (i) positive (ii) negative. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract. SI unit of charge is coulomb and CGS unit is esu. 1C = 3  109esu. Magnitude of the smallest known charge is e = 1.6  10-19C (charge of one electron or proton).

PROPERTIES OF ELECTRIC CHARGE QUANTIZATION OF CHARGE charge on any body is the integral multiple of the charge on an electron  Q =  ne, where n = 0, 1, 2, ................. Distribution of Charges

The concentration of the charges is maximum on a surface with greater curvature.

This is a fundamental law and is based on physical observation The force is an action - reaction pair. The direction of force is always along the line joining the two charges. Electrical force between two point charges is independent of presence or absence of other charges.

Example 1.

A particle ‘A’ having a charge of 2  10 C and a mass of 100g is fixed at the bottom of a smooth inclined plane of inclination 30 . Where should another particle B, having same charge and mass be placed on the incline so that it may remain in equilibrium ?

Example 2.:

Two particles A and B having charges 8 x10 C and –2 x10 C respectively are held fixed with a separation of 20 cm. Where should a third charged particle be placed so that it does not experience a net electric force ?

Solution :

As the net electric force on C should be equal to zero, the force due to A and B must be opposite in direction. Hence, the particle should be placed on the line AB. As A and B have charges of opposite signs, C cannot be between A and B

Also A has larger magnitude of charge than B. Hence, C should be placed closer to B than A. The situation is shown in figure.

CURRENT ELECTRICITY CURRENT ELECTRICITY Flow of electric charge constitutes electric current. For a given conductor, if 'Q' charge flows through a cross-section of area A in time 't', then the average electric current through the conductor is given as Q dQ I= and its instantaneous value is . dt t

Crosssection

MECHANISM OF CURRENT FLOW IN METALLIC CONDUCTOR When an external potential difference is applied across a metallic conductor then an electric field is set up within the conductor. Applied electric field  Force on electrons  drift of electrons Due to the externally applied electric field electrons drift with an average velocity called drift velocity. This causes an electric current Total charge crossing a cross-section in one second is equal to I = neAvd. Here Avd is the volume of a cylinder of cross-section A length vd and ne is charge density of charge carriers (e.g. electrons).

vd I S

The current density is defined by J = /A Example1 : A steady current passes through a cylindrical conductor. Is there an electric field inside the conductor ? Solution : Yes; No doubt under steady state conditions in electrostatics when a conductor is charged, electric field inside it is zero as metal is an equipotential surface. However when a potential difference is applied across a conductor and a steady current flows though it, the condition no longer remains static and there exists an electric field inside the conductor. OHM’S LAW It states that "the potential difference across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it at a given temperature".  At constant temperature

V  constant(R) I

the constant 'R' is called resistance of the conductor. Resistivity () and conductivity ():

The resistance R of a given conductor is directly proptinal to length () and inversitional proptional cross-sectional area (A) such that R = 

 , where  = A

resistivity of the material of the given conductor. Its S.I. unit is  m. Reciprocal of resistivity is called the electrical conductivity () of the material, thus  =

1  = whereas reciprocal of resistance is called conductance of the  RA

given conductor. S.I. unit of conductivity  is ( - m)-1 and is usually written as mho/m. Temperature Dependence of Resistivity: The conductivity of a metal decreases as its temperature is increased. Thus resistivity  increases with the rise in temperature. If T and 0 represent the resistivities at temperatures T and T0 respectively, then for small temperature variations, T= 0 [1 + (T  T0)] Where  is called the temperature coefficient of resistivity. The resistivity varies over a very wide range. For metals (good conductor)   10-8 -m and for insulators   1017 -m Semiconductors (silicon, germanium ) have intermediate value much smaller than insulator but much larger than metals. Temperature coefficient of resistivity is negative for semiconductors and positive for the metals. For superconductors resistivity is zero. Thermistor: A thermistor is a semiconductor electronic device in which the resistance decreases as its temperature increases. This is used as a thermometer. The temperature coefficient of resistivity is negative for semiconductors, hence thermistors are usually prepared from oxides of various metals such as nickel, iron, cobalt and copper etc. A thermistor is used to detect small changes in temperature of the order of even 10-3 0C.

KIRCHHOFF’S LAWS Junction Rule: It is based on the law of conservation of charge. At a junction in a circuit the sum of incoming currents is always equal to the sum of outgoing currents. In otherwords the algebraic sum of the currents at a junction is zero. Loop rule The algebraic sum of the changes in potential around any closed path is zero. It is based on the law of conservation of energy.  In case of a resistor of resistance 'R' potential will decrease in the direction of current. Hence, for the shown conductor Va – Vb = IR

I = I R + I r, where I EI is the rate at which chemical energy is converted to 2 R electrical energy, I R is power supplied to the external 2 resistance R and I r is the power dissipated in the internal resistance of the battery.

An electrical current flowing through conductor produces heat in it. This is known as Joule's effect. The heat developed is given by H = I2.R.t joule, where I = current in ampere , R = resistance in , t = time in second.

2.8 

Solution : The resistance of the parallel combination of 2 and 3 resistors is given by 1 1 1 5    R 2 3 6

 R  1.2 

This resistance is in series with 2.8  giving a total effective resistance = 1.2 + 2.8  = 4 . In the steady state, charge on the capacitor C has stablised and hence no current passes through 4 resistor which is in series with the capacitor. Thus the current through the circuit = 6/4 = 1.5 A, VAB = 1.5  1.2 = 1.8 V, I through 2 resistor = 1.8/2 = 0.9 A. AMMETER An Ammeter is an instrument used for measuring current in electrical circuits. A galvanometer is a low resistance instrument. A large current passing through it may damage the instrument Changing the range of an ammeter Suppose the ammeter gives full scale deflection when a current Ig flows through it. Now if we want to convert the reading of the ammeter in such a

manner that it gives full scale deflection for a higher current I in the branch of the circuit, we connect a small resistance S in parallel to the coil of the galvanometer, which has a resistance G. The resistance value is so chosen that out of the total current I only Ig flows through the coil and the remaining current flows through S. As potential difference across S = potential difference across G. 

(I – Ig)S = IgG 

G

(I-Ig)

 IgG    I  Ig   

S

S= 

So, effectively this ammeter will measure current up to I ampere and its effective resistance  GS  . S  G

= 

In practice G is large as compared to S. Therefore the effective resistance of the ammeter equals RA  S, which is small. An ideal ammeter has zero resistance. VOLTMETER A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring potential difference across the two ends of a current carrying conductor. It is connected in parallel with the conductor across which the potential difference is to be measured. The current through the conductor should not change on connecting the voltmeter, and so the voltmeter should draw a very small current, i.e. its resistance has to be high. When a galvanometer is used to measure potential difference across the ends of a current carrying conductor, a high resistance R is connected in series with the galvanometer. Consider the diagram VOLTMETER shown. Suppose the galvanometer gives full scale G Ig deflection when a current Ig passes through its coil. If G is resistance of the galvanometer coil then:

V

R

Potential difference to be measured = V = Ig (G  R)  So, effectively the voltmeter has resistance = Rv = (G + R)

R=

V -G Ig

I

In practice Rv is very large compared to G. An ideal voltmeter should possess infinite resistance.

POTENTIOMETER A potentiometer is used to compare electromotive forces of two cells or to measure the internal resistance of a cell. Principle: The potentiometer is based upon the principle that when a constant current is passed through a wire of uniform cross sectional area, the potential drop across any portion of the wire is directly proportional to its length. R Consider the network shown in the E diagram : I

Solving (i) & (ii) we get I2 =

 E  R1 we get I2 = 0   R1  R2  R 

For the chosen value of E' that is 

Thus, taking a length of uniform resistance wire between A and C instead of the two resistors R1 & R2, it is possible to get zero (null) deflection in the galvanometer in the circuit shown below, provided that. E1 < IRAC

Let 1 be the length AB of the wire, corresponding to zero deflection in galvanometer, and let B be the point where the movable pointer ‘P’ (also called Jockey) makes contact with wire AC. If the same experiment is repeated but with another cell of EMF E2, we will be getting a different length ‘2’ at the instant galvanometer shows null deflection. If in both the cases the rheostat ‘R’ is kept unchanged, E1  1 .  E2  2

The arrangement shown in figure (iii) is called Potentiometer and we use it to measure EMF using the above relationship. Application : A potentiometer can be used to compare emfs of two cells or to measure internal resistance of a cell. The method to compare the emfs of two cells has already been explained. When we want to measure the internal resistance of a cell, consider the following formula :    E   1S   1 2 S , V   2 

r= 

where r = internal resistance of the cell, E = EMF, V = potential difference across the cell during current flow, S = resistance of resistance box, 1 , 2 are two balancing lengths. Example7:

A potentiometer wire of length 100 cm has a total resistance of 10. It is connected in series with a resistance R and a cell of emf 2 volts and of negligible internal resistance. A cell of emf 10 mV is balanced against a length of 40cm of potentiometer wire. What is the value of the external resistance R ?

Solution :

Now as the 100 cm wire has a resistance of 10 , the resistance of 40 cm of wire will be 40  (10/100) = 4 ohm.

Potential drop across 40 cm wire will be V = I 4 but here V = 10 mv (given) 10  10 3

But Q = it i.e. m  Q  m  it Hence the first law may also be stated as follows The mass of ions liberated at an electrode during electrolysis is proportional to (a) the current following through the electrolyte, and (b) the time for which the current flows Second law: If same quantity of electricity is passed through different electrolytes, the masses of the substances (ions) deposited at the respective cathodes are directly proportional to their chemical equivalents (equivalent weights). i.e. m  E (chemical equivalent) Electro-chemical equivalent (E.C.E.): (a) The electro-chemical equivalent of an element is its mass in grams deposited on the electrode by the passage of 1 coulomb of charge through it i.e. by the passage of 1 ampere current for 1 second. (b) According to Faraday's first lawm  i.t or m = Z i.t Where Z is the constant of proportionality known as the electro- chemical equivalent of the substance. It is numerically equal to the mass in grams of the element deposited when a unit current flows in unit time.

THERMOELECTRICITY-SEEBECK EFFECT

(i) (ii)

Thermocoule: If two wires of different metals are joined at their ends so as to from two junctions, then the resulting arrangement is called a thermocouple. Seebeck effect: (a) When the two junctions of a thermocouple are maintained at different temperatures, then a current starts flowing through the wires. This is called Seebeck effect and the e.m.f. developed in the circuit is called thermo-emf. (b) The Seebeck effect is perfectly reversible, i.e. if the hot and the cold junctions are interchanged, the direction of current is reversed. (c) The thermo-emf is of the order of a few micro-volts per degree temperature difference.

THERMOELECTRIC SERIES (i)

(ii) (iii)

Seebeck arranged a number of metals in the form of a series called thermoelectic series. The arrangement of some of the metals forming the series areSb, Fe, Zn, Ag, Au, Mo, Cr, Sn, Pb, Hg, Mn, Cu, Co, Ni, Bi. In the above series, current flows through the cold junction from the metal which appear earlier to the metal which appears later. Greater the separation of the two metals in the series, greater is the thermo emf generated.

VARIATION OF DIFFERENCE

TEMPERATURE-

If the cold junction is kept at 0o and the temperature of hot junction (t) is gradually increased, it is found that the thermo emf e first increases, attains a maximum value and then decreases to become zero again (Fig.) Thermo emf V

If the temperature is further increased, the emf changes direction. Netural temperature (tn)- The temperature at which thermo-emf is maximum is defined as neutral temperature. tn is fixed for a given thermo-couple. Temperature of inversion (ti)- The temperature at which thermo-emf changes its direction is called the temperature of inversion. ti is an much above tn as the tenoeratyre if cikd hybctuib us bekiw tn.

PELTIER EFFECT (i) (ii) (iii)

(iv)

This effect is the converse of Seebeck effect. If a current is passed through a junction of two dissimilar metals, heat is eigher absorbed or evolved at the junction. On reversing the direction of current, the heating effect is also reversed. If the seebeck current is in a certain direction through the hot junction, then an external current sent in the same direction through this junction produces a cooling at this junction and a heating at the other junction. Peltier coefficient ()- It is the amount of heat absorbed or evolved at a junction per second when a current of one ampere flows through it. de T dT

THOMSON EFFECT (i) (ii)

(iii)

An emf is developed between two parts of a single metal if they are at different temperatures. This is called Thomson effect. Thomson coefficient- If de is the potential difference between two points in a metal which have a temperature difference dt, then the ratio de d2e  T 2 dT dT is defined as the thomson coefficient. If one part of a metal is at a higher temperature than the other, the free electrons at hot part will have more kinetic energy and as a result these electrons will diffuse faster towards colder part than the electrons from cold to the hot part. This would result in the net transfer of electrons setting an electric current in the metal.

The imaginary lines which represent the direction of magnetic field, are known as magnetic lines of force. The imaginary path traced by an isolated (imaginary) unit north pole is defined as a line of force. Magnetic lines of force are closed curves.

They neither have origin nor end. These lines do not intersect, because if they do so then it would mean two value of magnetic field at a single point, which is not possible. The tangent drawn at any point to the line of force indicates the direction of magnetic field at that point. At the poles of the magnet the magnetic field is stronger because the lines of force there are crowded together and away from the poles the magnetic field is week. i.e. magnetic field intensity  number of lines of force.

MAGNETIC FIELD

(a)

The space around a magnet in which a torque acts on a magnetic needle is known as magnetic field. The space around a magnet in which a net force acts on a magnetic test pole is known as magnetic field. The space around a magnet in which its effect is experienced is known as magnetic field. There are four types of magnetic field : (i) Uniform magnetic field: (a) The magnetic field, in which the intensity of magnetic field is same at all points, is known as uniform magnetic field. (b) In such a magnetic field the magnetic lines of force are parallel and equidistant. e.g. the magnetic dines of force of earth's magnetic field. (ii) Non-uniform magnetic field: (a) The magnetic field, in which the intensity of magnetic field at different points is different, is known as non-uniform magnetic field. (b) It is represented by non-parallel lines of force. (iii) Varying magnetic field: (a) The magnetic field, which keeps on changing with respect to time is known as a variable magnetic field. (b) Example :– B = B0 sin  t or B = B0 cos  t (iv) Non-varying magnetic field: (a) The magnetic field which does not change with time is known as a constant magnetic field.

MAGNETIC DIPOLE

(a)

The structures, which tend to align along the direction of magnetic field, are known as magnetic dipoles. Bar magnet, current carrying solenoid, current carrying coil, current carrying coil, current loop, magnetic needle etc. are the examples of magnetic dipole. It is not possible to separate out the two poles of a magnet. Magnetic dipole is not a system composed of two poles because the existence of monopoles is not possible. A loop of single turn is also a magnetic dipole. One face of the loop behaves as north pole and the other face behaves as south pole. The face of the coil, in which current is anticlockwise, behaves as north pole and the face in which current is clockwise, behaves as south pole.

FARADAY’S LAWS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION

According to Faraday’s Law, whenever the magnetic flux through a circuit changes, an emf is induced in the circuit. The magnitude of the induced emf is equal to the rate at which flux changes with time. d Magnitude of the induced emf = dt If  represents the flux through a single turn, and the loop has N turns, then d Induced emf = N dt This induced emf creates an induced current in the circuit whose magnitude is given as 1 d induced emf i= = R dt net resis tance of circuit

2.

LENZ’S LAW

According to Lenz’s law, induced emf in a circuit opposes the cause due to which it was induced. Consider the following examples. (a) Suppose that the north-pole of a bar magnet is moved N towards a conducting wire loop as shown in the figure. s Due to a change in the magnetic flux associated with the loop, a current is induced. Due to induced current, a magnetic field is induced and this magnetic field opposes the motion of bar magnet. The direction of the induced current can be deduced by the following argument: the north pole is moving towards the loop; therefore to oppose the motion of the bar magnet only a north pole will be induced on that face of the loop which faces the magnet. (b) A rectangular loop ABCD is being pulled out of the x x x x x x OBx x B x x x x x xA x x magnetic field which is directed into the plane of the x x x x x x x x paper. Perpendicular to the plane of the paper. As the xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx loop is dragged out of the field, the flux associated with x x x x x xD x x C the loop decreases. The induced current flows in the loop in a sense so as to oppose the decrease in this flux. For this to happen the magnetic field due to the induced current in the loop must be directed into the plane of the paper. Thus the current in the loop must flow be clockwise.

As the flux is increasing inside then the current in the loop will be such that it will be opposing the increase in magnetic field, i.e., the induced current in the loop will create such a magnetic field which is directed out ward.

Thus the direction of current will be anticlockwise. Illustration 2:

INDUCTANCE

SELF INDUCTION

We have already discussed capacitors – devices that store energy using electric fields. Like a capacitor, an inductor is also quite a commonly used element in electric circuits. It stores magnetic energy. As we know that when current flows through a conductor a magnetic field is set-up in surrounding of it, and hence it is associated with magnetic flux. If magnetic flux associated with a coil is  and current flowing through it is I, then its inductance is given by the expression L 

 . I

The quantity 'L' is called self-inductance of

the coil. It does not depend on the current, but it depends on the permeability of the core and the dimensions of the coil. S.I. unit of inductance is Henry. Consider the circuit, in which a solenoid is connected across a cell through a resistor. When the switch is open, the current in the circuit is zero. When the switch is closed, a current flow in it. Since current in the circuit increases from zero to a certain value, N magnetic field associated with it changes that causes induction of an emf across the solenoid. Induction of an emf due to variation in current flowing through the coil itself is known as self induction. Since B = LI, and  = 

dB dt

   L

dI . dt

Inductance of an ideal solenoid: Let a current I flow through a solenoid. The magnetic field due to the current flowing within the solenoid is, B = 0nI, where n is the number of turns per unit length. If area of cross section of the solenoid is A then flux associated with length  is equal to  = nBA. (Assuming that the solenoid is ideal and long) where  is the length of the solenoid. Now B = nI (n )(0n A) = 0 n2  A  Self Inductance of a Coil Consider a coil of N turns and area of crossection A carrying a current i. The length of the coil is (  A).   iN    N B A  N 0  A   2 NA  0 i

A coil of metal wire is kept stationary in a non-uniform magnetic field. An e.m.f. is induced in the coil. For induced emf to develop in a coil the magnetic flux through it must change. But in this case the number of magnetic lines of force through the coil is not changing. Therefore the statement is false.

MUTUAL INDUCTION

Consider two coils C1 and C2 placed as shown. By varying current i1 in coil C1, we change the flux not only through C1 but also through coil C2. The change in flux 2 through C2 (due to change in current i1) induces an emf in the coil C2. This emf is known as mutually induced emf and the process is known as mutual induction. 2  i1  2 = M i1

The mutual inductance is maximum when the coils arc wound up on the same axis. It is minimum when the axes of coils are normal to each other. Note down the following points regarding the mutual inductance:

1.

The SI unit of mutual inductance is henry (1H).

2.

M depends upon closeness of the two circuits, their orientations and sizes and the number of turns etc.

4.

e1 = - M(di2/dt) N1B1 M21  i2

A good approach for calculating the mutual inductance of two circuits consists of the following steps: (a) Assume any one of the circuits as primary (first) and the other as secondary (second). (b) Suppose a current i1 flows through the primary circuit. (c) Determine the magnetic field B produced by the current i1. (d) Obtain the magnetic flux B2 . (e)

With the flux known, the mutual inductance can be found from, N2B2 M i1

Let N1 = number of turns in solenoid; N2 = number of turns in coil A1 and A2 be their respective areas of crossection.

ALTERNATING CURRENTS AND CIRCUITS

The basic principle of the ac generator is a direct consequence of Faraday’s law of induction. When a conducting loop is rotated in a magnetic field at constant angular frequency  a sinusoidal voltage (emf) is induced in the loop. This instantaneous voltage is, V = V0 sin t

(i)

The usual circuit diagram symbol for an ac source is shown in Figure.

In Equation (i) V0 is the maximum output voltage of the ac generator, or the voltage amplitude and  is the angular frequency, equal to 2 times the frequency f.  = 2f

The frequency of ac in India is 50 Hz, i.e., f = 50 Hz So,  = 2f  314 rad/s The time of one cycle is known as time period T, the number of cycles per second the frequency f. 1 2 T or T f  A sinusoidal current might be described as, i = i0 sin t If an alternating current is passed through an ordinary ammeter or voltmeter, it will record the mean value for the complete cycle, as the quantity to be measured varies with time.

The average value of the rectified current is the same as the average current in any half cycle, 2 i.e., time the maximum current i0 . A more useful way to describe a quantity is the root  mean square (rms) value. We square the instantaneous current, take the average (mean) value of i2 and finally take the square root of that average. This procedure defines the rootmean-square current denoted as irms. Even when i is negative, i2 is always positive so irms is never zero (unless i is zero at every instant). Hence, T

Also, if  is the mass density of the material of the wire, mass of the wire m = l0S.

SOME IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS USED IN OPTICS

We define a varied collection of useful terms. Some of these definitions will be revisited when the appropriate topics are taken up. (i)

Ray: The path of light, as determined within the approximations of geometric optics, is a ray. In a homogeneous medium, it is a straight line.

(ii)

Beam: A collection of rays, usually referred to as a bundle of rays, forms a beam. One may have a convergent, divergent or, a parallel beam. A convergent beam may converge to a point or, a line, a divergent beam may diverge from a point or, a line. A parallel beam consists of parallel rays.

(iii)

Collimation: A process whereby a divergent (or, convergent) beam is rendered parallel usually through the use of lenses and/or mirrors.

(iv)

Object & Image: The term object is used to refer to any object (being photographed or observed) that is a source of light, and its likeness (usually two dimensional) formed or observed by an optical system is the image.

(v)

Optical System: An optical system consists of elements like lenses, mirrors, prisms, etc.

(vi)

Axis: The axis of an optical system is frequently an axis of symmetry such that a ray directed along the axis continues in the same direction or, returns backwards (if reflected within the system)

(vii)

Centre of Curvature: Most lenses and curved mirrors being manufactured spherical (i.e., their surfaces are spherical), the centre of curvature of the curved mirror or, the curved surface of a lens is important and is frequently denoted by the letter C. The radius of curvature is also equally important in the analysis.

(viii) Pole: The pole of a spherical surface (refracting or, reflecting) is the central point of the surface involved in the formation of the image. It is denoted by O or, P. The axis, for a single spherical surface, is the join of the pole with the centre of curvature; it is known as the principal axis. (ix)

Optical Centre: The optical centre of a thin lens is a point on the axis of the lens such at a ray directed towards that point emerges parallel to itself after passing through the lens.

(x)

Paraxial Rays: It is observed that the formation of clear images by spherical surfaces takes place only with rays which are close to the principal axis and make very small angles with it.

(xi)

Wave speed: It is the distance travelled by the wave disturbance in a unit time. It is denoted by the letter  .

(xii)

Frequency: It is the number of vibrations made by the medium particle in 1 s. In other words, it is number of waves passing through a point of the medium in 1 second. It is generally represented by the letter n or  . Its unit is hertz and it is represented as Hz or s–1.

(xiii) Wavelength: It is the distance travelled by the wave in one complete period of a medium particle. In other words, distance between two consecutive crest or trough. Relationship between the wavelength, wave speed and frequency: If the wave speed is  and period is T, then by definition

Wavelength  T   or But T  1/  x1/       Or

REFLECTION AND REFRACTION AT PLANE AND SPHERICAL SURFACES

2.1

REFLECTION AT PLANE SURFACE

This plane is called the plane of incidence (or plane of reflection). (b) The angle of incidence (the angle between normal and between the reflected ray and the normal are equal, i.e. i  r A

(b)

Diffused Reflection or Scattering or Diffusion: When the surface is rough light is reflected from the surface from bits of its plane surfaces in irregular directions. This is called diffusion. This process enables us to see an object from any position.

(b) Irregular reflection

Characteristics of Reflection by a Plane Mirror (i) Distance of object from mirror = Distance of image from the mirror. (ii) The line joining the object point with its image is normal to the reflecting surface. (iii) The image is laterally inverted (left right inversion). (iv) The size of the image is the same as that of the object. (v) For a real object the image is virtual and for a virtual object the image is real. (vi) The minimum size of a plane mirror, required to see the full self image, is half the size of that person. (vii) For a light ray incident at an angle 'i' after reflection angle of deviation d = p - 2i (viii) (ix) (x) (xi) (xii)

(xiii)

(xiv)

If i = 0 then r = 0, this implies that a ray of light incident normally on a mirror retraces its path. The eye always observes an object in the direction in which the rays enter the eye The laws of reflection holds good for all kinds of reflection. Image of an object is the point at which rays after reflection (or reflection) actually converge or appear to diverge from that point. If the direction of the incident ray is kept constant and the mirror is rotated through an angle  about an axis in the plane mirror then the reflected ray rotates through an angle 2. If an object moves towards (or away from) a plane mirror at a speed v, the image will also approach (or recede) at the same speed. Further the relative speed of image to the object will be v – (–v) = 2v. If two plane mirror are inclined to each other at 90, the emergent ray is always antiparallel to incident ray, if reflected from each mirror, irrespective of angle of incident.

Also, p = q – 1, if the object is on the bisector.  360    (c) If    is a fraction, then the number of image formed will be equal to its integral part. (xvi) The images are laterally inverted. (xvii) The linear magnification is unity. ∧

Solution:

Component of incident ray along the inside normal gets reversed while the component perpendicular to it remains unchanged.











Thus the component of incident ray vector A  i  j  k parallel to normal, 





i.e., i  j gets reversed while perpendicular to it, i.e.,  k remains unchanged. Thus, the reflected ray can be written as 

SILVERING AT ONE SURFACE OF LENS

When one surface of a thin lens is silvered, then the focal length F of the effective lensmirror combination is expressed as, 1/F = å 1/ f i , where fi is the focal length of the lens or mirror to be repeated as many times as the refraction or reflection respectively is repeated. Some Cases: (i) Focal length of plano–convex lens when silvered at its plane surface When an object is placed in front of such a lens. The ray first of all are refracted from the convex surface, then reflected from the polished plane surface and again refracted out from the convex surface.

DETERMINATION OF FOCAL LENGTH OF A CONCAVE MIRROR BY U–V METHOD

The relation between object distance u and the image v from the pole of the mirror is given by, 1 1 1   v u f Where f is the focal length of the mirror. The focal length of the concave mirror is obtained 1 1 either from versus graph or from u–v graph. v u 1 1 and graph u v When the image is real (of course only upon then it can be obtained on screen), the object lies between focus (F) and infinity. In such a situation u, v and f all are negative. Hence the mirror formula 1 1 1   v u f 1 1 1    Becomes, v u f 1 1 1   or again, v u f 1 1 1   or, v u f Comparing with y = mx + c, the desired graph will be a straight line with slope –1 and 1 intercept equal to . f

1 1 versus graph is as shown in figure. The intercepts on the v u 1 horizontal and vertical axes are equal. It is equal to . A straight line OC at an angle 45o f  1 1 with the horizontal axis intersects line AB at C. The coordinates of point C are  ,  .  2f 2f  The focal length of the mirror can be calculated by measuring the coordinates of either of the points A, B or C.

The corresponding

u–v graph The u–v graph comes out to be a hyperbola as shown in figure. A line drawn at angle 45o from the origin intersects the hyperbola at point C. The coordinates of point C are (2f, 2f). The focal length of mirror can be calculated by measuring the coordinates of point C.

Determination of focal length of convex lens using u–v method The relation between u, v and f for a convex lens is, 1 1 1   v u f 1 1 and graph u v Using the proper sign convention, u is negative, u negative, v and f are positive. So we have, 1 1 1 1 1 1     or v u f v u f 1 1 Comparing with y = mx + c, graph between and is negative with v u 1 slope –1 and intercept . The corresponding graph is as shown in figure. f Proceeding in the similar manner as discussed in case of a concave mirror the focal length of the lens can be calculated by measuring the coordinates of either of the points A, B and C.

u–v Graph The u versus v graph is a hyperbola as shown in figure. By measuring the coordinates of point C whose coordinates are (2f, 2f) we can calculate the focal length of the lens.

emergent ray

incident ray

A light ray striking at one face of a triangular glass prism gets refracted twice and emerges out from the other face as shown above. The angle between the emergent and the incident rays is called the angle of deviation (D). The angle between the two refracting faces involved is called the refracting angle (A) of the prism. From AXY, we have: A + (90° – r1) + (90° – r2) = 180° (i) Þ r1 + r2 = A Deviation D = (i – r1) + (e – r2) D = (i + e) – (r1 + r2) D=i+e–A Þ A+D=i+e (ii) Þ We also have two equations from Snell's Law at X & Y. sinr2 1 sinr =m & = sinr1 sine m (i) Angle of Deviation It can be easily seen that if we reverse the emergent ray, it goes back along the same path. The angles of incidence and emergence get interchanged but the angle of deviation remains same. A

2

angle of incidence = 1 angle of emergence = 2 q1 + q2 = A + D

1

2

angle of incidence = 2 angle of emergence = 1 q2 + q1 = A + D

Hence the same angle of deviation D is possible for two different angles of incidence : 1 and 2, where 1 + 2 = A + D. (ii) Minimum Deviation The angle of deviation is minimum when the path of light ray through the prism is symmetrical. i.e., angle of incidence = angle of emergence A

r1=r2=r

i=e Þ r1 = r2 and hence A + Dmin = i + i = 2i also A = r1 + r2 = 2r from

sini = m, we have: sinr1 æA + Dmin ö sin ç ÷ è ø 2 =m A sin 2

(iii) Grazing Incidence When i = 90°, the incident ray grazes along the surface of the prism and the angle of refraction inside the prism becomes equal to the critical angle for glass - air. This is known as grazing incidence. A i  90

(iv) Grazing Emergence When e = 90°, the emergent ray grazes along the prism surface. This happens when the light ray strikes the second face of the prism at the critical angle for glass - air. This is known as grazing emergence. A i

e = 90

(v) Maximum Deviation The angle of deviation is same for both the above cases (grazing incidence & grazing emergence) and it is also the maximum possible deviation if the light ray is to emerge out from the other face without any total internal reflection. (vi) Dispersion of Light When a ray of light passes through a prism, it splits up into rays of constituent colours or wavelengths. This phenomenon is called dispersion of light. The refractive index of a medium is different for light rays of different wavelengths. Larger the wavelengths, the lesser is the refractive index. mred < mviolet because l red > l violet. i.e.,

A ray of white light passing through a prism gets splits into different colours because the deviation is more for violet and less for red. This phenomenon is known as dispersion. Dr

violet

For a prism with very small refracting angle A, the deviation D is given by: d » (m- 1) A Hence deviation of violet = Dv = (v, – 1)A and for red = Dr = (r – 1)A The angle between the red and violet rays is known as the angle of dispersion. The angle of dispersion = f = Dv - Dr = (mv - mr ) A

Dv + Dr æmv + mr ö =ç - 1÷A è 2 ø 2 mv - mr f Dispersive power of glass = w = = Dm mv + mr -1 2

Angle of mean deviation = Dm =

This phenomenon arises due to the fact that refractive index varies with wavelength. It has been observed for a prism that  decreases with the increase of wavelength, i.e. mblue > mred . Angular dispersion, q = dv - dr (vii)

(ix) Dispersion without deviation A combination of two prisms in which deviation produced for the mean ray by the first prism is equal and opposite to that produced by the second prism is called a direct vision prism. This combination produces dispersion without deviation. For deviation to be zero, ( + ') = 0 Þ (m- 1) A + (m'- 1) A ' = 0 Þ

Find the angle of flint glass and net dispersion. Given: v = 1.523, R = 1.513 (for crown glass) 'v = 1.665, 'R = 1.645 (for flint glass) Solution: Let A' be the angle of flint glass prism. Here A = 5 and  = 1.51 for crown glass prism. d = (m- 1) A = (1.51 - 1) ´ 5 = 2.55° Deviation produced by flint glass d = (m'- 1) A ' = (1.65 - 1) A ' = 0.65 A ' For no deviation ' =  or 0.65 A' = 2.55 2.55 A' = = 3.92° 0.65 Net dispersion,

Solution:

According to A, which half of the coin (if either) is brighter? (A) The polished half (B) The unpolished half (C) Both halves look equally bright (D) Both halves look completely dark (A) The light reflects of the coin and reaches A’s eye. B's eye 





A's eye



As the polished half is smoother than the unpolished half, hence the polished half behaves more like a mirror. So, most of the light striking the polished half of the coin reflects instead of going diffusion reflection. Hence, A sees a high percentage of the light that hits the polished part of the coin. Light hitting the unpolished half undergoes more diffuse reflection, bouncing off the coin in all different directions. Hence, a smaller percentage of that light reaches A’s eyes. So, for A the polished half looks more brighter than the unpolished half.

The converging lens has focal length f1’ and the diverging lens has focal length f2 = –|f2|. The two lenses are separated by a variable distance d that is always less than f1’ also the magnitude of the focal length of the diverging lens satisfies the inequality |f2| > (f1 –d). If the rays that emerge from the diverging lens and reach the final image point are extended backward to the left to the diverging lens, they will eventually expand to the original radius r0 at the same point Q. To determine the effective focal length of the combination lens, consider a bundle of parallel rays of radius r0 entering the converging lens. 25.

Inside a substance such as glass or water, light travels more slowly than it does in a vacuum. If c denotes the speed of light in a vacuum and v c denotes its speed through some other substance, then v = n Where n is a constant called the index of refraction. To almost exact approximation, a substance’s index of refraction does not depend the wavelength of light. For instance, when red and blue light waves enter water, they both slow down by about the same amount. More precise measurements, however, reveal that n varies with wavelength. Table 1 presents some indices of refraction of Cutson glass, for different wavelengths of visible light. A nanometer (nm) is 10–9 meters. In a vacuum, light travesl at c = 3.0  108 m/s. Indices of refraction of Cutson glass (Table 1) approximate wavelength in vacuum (nm) n yellow 580 1.500 yellow orange 600 1.498 orange 620 1.496 orange red 640 1.494

Inside Cutson glass (A) Orange light travels faster than yellow light (B) Yellow light travels faster than orange light (C) Orange and yellow light ravels equally fast (D) We cannot determine which colour of light travels faster Solution: (A) The velocity of light is inversely proportional to the index of refraction c v = , So, the lower the n, the higher the v. According to table, Cutson glass has a n slightly lower n for orange light than it has for yellow light. Therefore, inside Cutson glass, orange light travels slightly faster.

For blue green of wavelength 520 nm, the index of refraction of Cutson glass is probably closest to: (A) 1.49 (B) 1.50 (C) 1.51 (D) 1.52 Solution: (C) Table suggests a linear relationship between wavelength and index of refraction. Starting with yellow light, we can extrapolate with linear relationship to blue green light. As compared to yellow light waves, blue green light waves are 60 nm shorter (520 nm vs. 580 nm). By reading table from bottom to top, we see that each 20 nm decreases in wavelength corresponds to a 0.002 increase in n. So, since yellow and blue green differ in wavelength by 60 nm, the corresponding n’s should differ by 0.006. nblue green = nyellow + 0.006 = 1.500 + 0.006 = 1.506 which is closer to 1.51 than it is to 1.50. You can also address this question by extrapolating table. blue green 520 1.506 540 1.504 560 1.502 yellow 580 1.500 yellow orange 600 1.498 orange 620 1.496 orange red 640 1.494 17.

For visible light, which graph bes expresses the index of refraction of glass as a function of the frequency of the light?

(A) (B) (C) (D) Solution: (A) As just discussed, index of refraction decreases linearly with wavelength Graph b show a linear relationship. But the problem wants the relationship between frequency and n, not between wavelength and n. Since higher wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies, and vica versa, n increasing with frequency. To clarify this reasoning, we should review the relationship between wavelength and frequency. For all waves, not just light waves, v = f, where v denotes velocity,  denotes wavelength, and f denotes frequency. In a vacuum, all light waves travel at c speed c. So, frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. f = . Higher  wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies, and vice versa. Therefore, since n decreases at higher wavelengths, it increases at higher frequencies. c Again, extending table 1 can help us spot this relationship. Using f = , we can find  the frequency of different colors of light. For instance c 3.0  108 m / s fyellow = = 5.17  1014 Hz  580  10 9 m  yellow fyellow–orange =

WAVE NATURE OF LIGHT

Huygens’ Wave Theory (i)

Each point on a wavefront acts as a source of new disturbance and emits its own set of spherical waves called secondary wavelets. The secondary wavelets travel in all directions with the velocity of light so long as they move in the same medium.

The envelope or the locus of these wavelets in the forward direction gives the position of new wavefront at any subsequent time. A surface on which the wave disturbance is in the same phase at all points is called a wavefront. Wave optics involves effects that depend on the wave nature of light. In fact, it is the results of interference and diffraction that prove that light behaves as a wave rather than a stream of particles (as Newton believed). Like other waves, light waves are also associated with a disturbance, which one consists of oscillating electric and magnetic field. The electric field associated with a plane wave propagating along the x-direction can be expressed in the form:   E = E o[sin(t - kx + o)] where , k and o bearing their usual meanings. (ii)

Points to remember regarding Interference  When two waves with amplitude A1 and A2 superimpose at a point, the amplitude of resultant wave is given by A=

A12  A 22  2A1A 2 cos 

Where  is the phase difference between the two waves at that point.  Intensity (I) =

1 E02 . C = speed of light, E0 = electric field amplitude 20C

 Intensity (I) = I1 + I2 + 2 I1I2 cos. Hence for I to be constant,  must be constant.  When  changes randomly with time, the intensity = I1 + I2.  When  does not change with time, we get an intensity pattern and the sources are said to be coherent. Coherent sources have a constant phase relationship i.e. one that does not change with time.  The intensity at a point becomes a maximum when  = 2n (n = 0, 1, 2, . .) and there is constructive interference.  If  = (2n  1) there is destructive interference. (Here n is a non-negative integer) Determination of Phase Difference The phase difference between two waves at a point will depend upon (a) the difference in path lengths of the two waves from their respective sources. (b) the refractive index of the medium (c) initial phase difference, between the source, if any. (d) Reflections, if any, in the path followed by waves.

DIFFRACTION

5. Diffraction is the bending or spreading of waves that encounter an object ( a barrier or an opening) in their path. 6. In Fresnel class of diffraction, the source and/or screen are at a finite distance from the aperture. 7. In Fraunhoffer class of diffraction, the source and screen are at infinite distance from the diffracting aperture. Fraunhoffer is a special case of Fresnel diffraction. Single Slit Fraunhoffer Diffraction In order to find the intensity at point P on the screen as shown in the figure the slit of width 'a' is divided into N parallel strips of width x. Each strip then acts as a radiator of Huygen's wavelets and produces a characteristic wave disturbance at P, whose position on the screen for a particular arrangement of apparatus can be described by the angle .

The amplitudes Eo of the wave disturbances at P from the various strips may be taken as equal if is not too large. The intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude. If Im represents the intensity at O, its value at P is
