ProveBrewster's Law. |
Answer» Solution :As an unpolarised light enters the denser medium, a part of light at the point of incidence gets reflected and the rest refracted in the dense medium. It is noticed that the refracted beam of light is either partially polarised or COMPLETELY UNPOLARIZED. However, the reflected beam gets completely polarised in the plane at right ANGLES to the plane ofincidence at a particular angle of incidence called polarising angles. It is also noticed that the angle between the completely polarised reflected beam and the refracted beam are at right angles to each other. Applying Snell's law of reflection, we write absolute refractive index, (rarer medium is taken as air) `mu=(sin i_B)/(sin r)""...(1)` where `i_B-` polarising angle or Brewster's angle. Also, `BOC=90^@` i.e., `NON'=180^@=NOB+BOC+N'OC` i.e., `180^@=i_B+90^@+r` `therefore i_B+r=90^@""....(2)` Angle of refraction `r=90^@-i_B""...(3)` USING (3) in (1) we get `mu=(sin i_B)/(sin (90^@-i_B))` `therefore mu=(sin i_B)/(cos i_B)` or `tan i_B=mu""...(4)` Expression (4) is known as the Brewster's law. The tangent of polarising angle for air-medium interface is equal to the absoluate refractive index of the medium for other than air-medium interface, `tan i_B=mu_2=(mu_2)/(mu_1)` where `mu_2=(c )/(v_2)` and `mu_1=(c )/(v_1) and mu_2 gt mu_1, v_1 and v_2` represent speed of light in the two OPTICAL media (1) and (2). Note: David Brewster, in the year 1811, discovered that at the polarising angle of incidence, the reflected light is completely plane polarised. |

How does a charge q oscillating at certain frequency produce electromagnetic waves ? Sketch a schematic diagram depicting electric and magnetic fields for an electromagnetic wave propagating along the Z-direction. |
|
Answer» Solution :An electric charge at REST has an electric field in the region AROUND it, but no magnetic field. A MOVING charge, however, produces both electric and magnetic fields. If the charge is moving with constant velocity (that is, the currentis not changing with time), the fields will not change with time and no electromagnetic wave can be produced. If, however, the motion of the charge is accelerated, the electric and the magnetic fields will change with space and time, then it produces electromagnetic waves. Hence we conclude that an accelerated charge emits electromagnetic waves. In an oscillatory LC circuit, charge oscillates across the CAPACITOR plates. An oscillating charge has a nonzero acceleration, hence it emits electromagnetic waves of frequency same as that of the oscillating charge. Fig. shows the GRAPHICAL representation of an electromagnetic wave in which the electric field vector `vecE` and the magnetic field vector `vecB` are vibrating along Y and X-directions respectively , and the wave is propagating along Z-direction. Both `vecE and vecB` vary with time and space and have the same frequency |

Answer questions on the basis of your understanding of the followingparagraph and the related studied concept. Electric flux, in general , through any surface is defined as per relation: phi_E= int oversetto E. oversetto (ds), whereintegration has to be performed over the entire surface through which flux is required. The surface under consideration may be a closed one or an open surface. Whenflux through a closed surface is required we use a small circular sign on the integrationsymbol. Thus flux over a closed surface oint E= oint oversetto E. oversetto (ds) .it is customary to take the outward normal as positive in this case. A German physicist Gauss established a fundamental law to find electric flux over a closed surface. As per Gauss' law , the flux of the net electric field through a closed surface equals the net charge enclosed by the surface divided by in_0 . Mathematically oint oversetto (E) . oversetto (ds) =(1)/( in_0)[q_(en) ], where q_(cn)is the net charge enclosedwithin the surface. It is possible to derive Gauss' lawfrom Coulomb's laws. Gauss' lawcan be applied to obtain electric field at a point due to continuous charge distribution for a number of symmetric charge configurations. Consider a closed surface having certain charges both within and outside as shown. The total electric flux of the given closed surface is :(##U_LIK_SP_PHY_XII_C01_E03_011_Q01.png" width="80%"> |
