Obtain mirror equation for the real image obtained by concave mirror. |
Answer» Solution :![]() An object AB is perpendicular to principal axis away from C of a concave mirror. AM ray from point A incidents on mirror at M and reflected ray passes through principal FOCUS F. AP ray from point A incidents on pole P and reflects back in form of PA. These both reflected rays intersect at A., hence A. is real image of A. A.B. is image of object AB due to reflection of rays from mirror. Let FP = focal length f CP = radius of curvature R BP = object distance u B.P= image distance v For paraxial rays, MP can be considered to be a straight LINE perpendicular to CP. The two right-angled triangles A.B.F and MPF are similar. `therefore(B.A.)/(PM)=(B.F)/(FP)` But PM = BA `therefore (B.A.)/(BA)=(B.F)/(FP)`....(1) Since `angleAPB = angleA.PB.`, the right angled triangles A.B.P and ABP are also similar. Therefore, `therefore(B.A.)/(BA)=(B.P)/(BP)`...(2) Comparing Equations (1) and (2), `(B.F)/(FP)=(B.P)/(BP)` but B.F = B.P - FP `therefore (B.P-FP)/(FP)=(B.P)/(BP)` ....(3) Now, ACCORDING to sign CONVENTION, B.P = - v, FP = - f, BP = - u From equation (3), `(-v+f)/(-f)=(-v)/(-u)` `therefore (v-f)/(f)=v/u` `therefore v/f-1=v/u` `therefore v/f=1+v/u` Now,dividing by v, `therefore 1/f=1/v+1/u` Which is mirror equation and it is called Gaussian equation as it was given by scientist Gauss. |

According to the Bohr-Sommerfeld postulate the periodic motion of a particle in a potential field must satisfy the following qyantization rule: ointp dq= 2piħn, where q and p are generalized coordinate and momenum of the particle, n are integers. Making use of this rule, find the permitted values of energy for a particle of mass m moving (a) In a uniimensional rectangular potential well of width l (b) along a circule of radius r, (c ) in a unidimentional potential field U=alphax^(2)//2, where alpha is a positive constant: (d) along a round orbit in a central field, where the potential enargy of the particle is equal to U= -alpha//r(alpha is a positve constant) |
|
Answer» Solution :(a) if we measure energy from the bottom of the well, then `V(x) = 0` inside the walls. Then the quantization condition reads `oint p d x = 2 l p = 2 pi nħ` or `p = pi ħ//l` Hence`E_(n) = (p^(2))/(2 m) = (pi^(2) n^(2) ħ)/(2 m l)`. `oint p d x = 2 l p` because we have to consider the INTEGRAL form `- (1)/(2)` to `(1)/(2)` and then back to `-(1)/(2)`. (b) Here, `oint p d x = 2 pi r p = 2 pi nħ` or `p = (n ħ)/(r )` Hence`E_(n) = (n^(2)ħ^(2))/(2 m r^(2))` (c ) By energy CONSERVATION`(p^(2))/(2 m) + (1)/(2) alpha x^(2) = E` so`p = sqrt(2m E - m alpha x^(2))` Then `oint p d x = oint sqrt(2m E - m alpha x^(2) dx)` `= 2sqrt(m alpha) int_(-(sqrt( 2E))/(alpha))^(sqrt(2E)/(alpha)) sqrt((2 E)/(alpha) - x^(2)) dx` The integral is`int_(-a)^(a)sqrt(a^(2) - x^(2)) dx = a^(2) int_(-x//2)^(x//2) cos^(2) theta d theta` `= (a^(2))/(2) int_(-x//2)^(x//2)(1 + cos 2 theta) d theta = a^(2)(pi)/(2)`. Thus `oint p d x = pi sqrt(m a). (2 E)/(alpha) = E.2 pi sqrt((m)/(alpha)) = 2 pi n ħ` Hence `E_(n) = n ħsqrt((alpha)/(m))`. ( b) It is required to find the energy levels of the CIRCULAR orbit for the rotential `U( r) = -(alpha)/(r )` In a circular orbit, the particle only has TANGIBLE velocity and the qunatization condition reads `ointp d x = m v. 2 pi r = 2 pi nħ` so `m v r = M = n ħ` The energy of the particle is `E = (n^(2) ħ^(2))/(2 m r^(2)) - (alpha)/(r )` Equilibrium requires that the energy as a function of `r` be minimum. Thus `(n^(2) ħ^(2))/(mr^(3))=(alpha)/(r^(2)) or r=(n^(2) ħ^(2))/(m alpha)` Hence `E_(n)= -(malpha^(2))/(2n^(2) ħ^(2))` |

A massless elastic cord (that obeys Hooke's law) break if the tension in the cord exceeds T_("max"). One end of the cord is attached to a fixed point, the other is attached to an object of mass 3m as shown in the figure. If a second, smaller object ofmass m moving at an initial speed v_(0) strikes the larger mass and the two stick together the cord will stretch and break but the final kinetic energy of the two masses will be zero. If instead the two collide with a perfectly elastic one dimensional collision the cord will still break and the larger mass will move off with a final speed of v_(f). All motion occurs on a horizontal frictionless surface. (Assume that Hooke's law is obeyed throughout untill the cord breaks) Find (v_(f))/(v_(0)) |

The two pipes are submerged in sea water, arranged as shown in figure. Pipe A with length L_A=1.5m and one open end, contains a small sound source that sets up the standing wave with the second lowest resonant frequency of that pipe. Sound from pipe A sets up resonance in pipe B, which has both ends open. The resonance is at the second lowest resonant frequency of pipe B. The length of the pipe B is |
|
Answer» Solution :(a)Only odd HARMONICS can exist in a pipe with one OPEN end. The resonant frequencies are given by f = nv/4L for harmonic numbers n = 1,3,5,.... Because resonant frequency increases with increasing n, the second lowest resonant frequency CORRESPONDS to n = 3, the second lowest CHOICE of n. (b) Any harmonic can exist in a pipe with two open ends. The resonant frequencies are given by f = n/2L for harmonic numbers n = 1,2,3,... Because resonant frequency increases with increasing n, the second lowest resonant frequency corresponds to n = 2, the second lowest choice of n. Therefore, we can write `f= (2v)/(2L_B)` Solving for `L_B` and substituting known data yield `L_B = v/f = (1522 m//s)/(761 Hz) = 2.00 m ` |

Two plane wavespropagate in a homogeneous elasticmedium, one along the x axis and the other along the y axis : xi _(1) = a cos ( omega t - kx), xi _(2) = a cos ( omega t - ky ) .Find the motion patternfo particles in the plane xy if both waves. (a) are tansverse and their oscillation directions coincide, (b) are longitudinal. |
|
Answer» Solution :`(a)` Equation of the resultant wave, `xi=xi_(1)+xi_(2)=2 a cos k ((y-x)/(2))XOA {omegat-(k(x+y))/(2)}, ` `=a'cos { omegat-(k(x+y))/2}`,where `a^(') = 2 a cos k^(') ((y-x)/2)` Now, the equation of wave pattern is, `x+ y=k`, (aConst.) For sought plots see the answer `-` sheet of the problem book. For antinodes, i.e. MAXIMUM intensity `cos((k(y-x))/(2))=+-1= cos n pi` or, `+-(x-y)=(2npi)/(k) = n lambda` or `y=x+- nlambda, n=0,1,2,.....` Hence, the particles of the medium at the POINTS, lying ono the solide straight lines `(y=x+-n lambda)` , oscillate with maximum amplitude.ltbr. For nodes, i.e. minimum intensity, `cos ((k(y-x))/(2))=0` or `+- (k(y-x))/( 2)=(2n+1) ( pi)/(2)` or , `y=x+- ( 2n +1) lambda//2`, and hence the particles at the points, lying on dotted lines do not oscillate. `(b)` When the waves are longitudinal, For sought plots see the answer `-` sheet of the problem book. `k(y-x)=cos^(-1)((xi_(1))/(a))- cos^(-1)((xi_(2))/( a))` or, `(xi_(1))/( a)= cos { k(y-x)+cos ^(-1) ((xi_(2))/(a))}` `=(xi_(2))/( a) cos k(y-x) - SIN k y( y-x) sin(cos ^(-1)((xi_(2))/(a)))` `=( xi_(2))/(a) cos k ( y-x)- sin k ( y-x) SQRT(1-(xi_(2)^(2))/( a^(2)))...(1)` from `(1)`, if `sin k ( y-x) = 0 =cos ( 2n +1) ( pi)/(2)` `(xi_(1)^(2))/(a)=1-xi_(2)^(2)//a^(2)`, acircle. Thus the particles, at the points, where `y= x+-(n+- 1//4) lambda` , will oscillate along circles, In general, all other particles will move along ellipse. |
