 Step 1: Translating from English language to Maths and Drawing.

·        Nature is written in the language of Mathematics. Drawing is the language of Engineers and Scientists.

·        Read the question line by line converting it into a simple cartoon diagram or a mathematical expression. Mark the numerical values in appropriate places in the diagram or with the mathematical notations.

 Step 2: Understand what is given and what is to be found.

In a double slit experiment two coherent beams have slightly different intensities I and $\delta I$. Show that the resultant intensity at the maxima is nearly 4I, while that at the minima is $(\delta I)^2/4I$

In a double slit experiment two coherent beams have slightly different intensities I and $\delta I$. Such that I >>$\delta I$. Show that the resultant intensity at the maxima is nearly 4I, while that at the minima is $(\delta I)^2/4I$

Courtesy:ophysics.com

For Intensity at Maxima,

\[ I=I_1+I_2+2\sqrt{I_1 I_2}\cos\phi \]

\[I_{max}=I+\left(I+\delta I\right)+2\sqrt{I(I+\delta I)}\cos 0\]

\[=2I+\delta I+2I\left(1+\frac{\delta I}{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\]

\[=2I+\delta I+2I\left[1+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\delta I}{I}+\frac{\frac{1}{2}.\frac{-1}{2}}{2}\left(\frac{\delta I}{I}\right)^2\right]\]

Using Binomial theorem, ignoring the higher order terms, $(\frac{\delta I}{I})^{2}$

\[=4I+2\hspace{2mm}\delta I\]

\[\approx4I\]

Frequently asked questions for Physics Class

1) Sir, we heard you have stopped taking class. Are you by any chance taking classes?

Due to some throat pain issues, I took a break from classes from March 2024 to Sep 2024. Even now beyond 45 min, I am not able to speak comfortably, especially physics being a subject where one has to speak and explain a lot. So I am teaching few students coming to my home.

Pure Si at 500 K has equal no. of electron (n_e) and hole (n_h) concentrations of 1.5 ×10^16 m^-3. Doping by Indium increases n_h to 4.5 ×10^22 m^-3. Find the no. of electrons in the doped semiconductor and identify if it is p-type or n-type.

Application of Integration methods to model quantities that are changing continuously in a non-linear fashion with respect to time.

This work was started as a way to illustrate the power of calculus in mathematical modelling to class 11 and 12 students, when we deal with quantities that are not changing linearly with respect to time or other variable. However the integration methods look slightly complicated and may be suitable only for college level students and fluid mechanics students.

NCERT Exercise 3.15 An aircraft executes a horizontal loop of radius 1.00 km with a steady speed of 900 km/h. Compare its centripetal acceleration with the acceleration due to gravity. What is G Force?

NCERT Exercise 3.15 An aircraft executes a horizontal loop of radius 1.00 km with a steady speed of 900 km/h. Compare its centripetal acceleration with the acceleration due to gravity.

v = 900 km/h = 250 m/s

Centripetal Acceleration,

ac = v²/r = 250² /1000 = 62.5 m/s² 

g = 9.8 m/s²  

ac = 6.4 g (6.4 times the gravitational acceleration)

What is G Force?

If you have access to a microwave oven, see if you can do this simple 10 minutes experiment in your microwave.

1. Remove the turn table inside the oven

2. Place an uncooked Chappathi (Tortila) or similar flour item spread out

3. Switch on the oven for a nominal time ( may be 1 minute or 2 minutes as required)

4. Open the oven and look for any black spots where the heat is concentrated

5. Measure the distance between the black spots using a measuring scale (few cm expected)

6. In the instrument label in the back side of oven look for any frequency of microwaves used.

7. We are looking for the Speed of Microwave c = Frequency x Lambda, calculations from the above values obtained.

8. Any videos or pictures of the experiment will be very helpful for educational purpose may be to upload in youtube.

 

Microwave is an Electromagnetic wave. All EM waves such as light, radio wave, microwave, infrared wave, uv rays, x rays, gamma rays travel at the speed of light c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s. This experiment is an attempt to experimentally verify the speed of microwaves.

Basic Mathematical Formula for Physics Numerical Solving

Which maths topics should a student study if he or she has not taken maths as one of the subject to tackle Physics problems?

I have given a small collection of basic maths topics that one has to study, who have not taken maths as one of the subjects. You may have to study with a maths teacher who is willing to teach you the basics. So that you can feel comfortable for your Physics numerical solving for your CBSE or State board exams and NEET / other entrance exams.

Mostly Algebra based problems can be tried and difficult trigonometry, log, exponential based problems can be skipped.

Remember this is just a guideline. If you do this short course around 30 hours, you may be able to overcome the fear of maths and feel confident for Physics problem solving.

11th Maths: 

Trigonometry: First two topics and exercises. 3.1, 3.2 (4 to 8 hours)

Introduction to Three Dimentional geometry: All topics and Exercises 11.1, 11.2 (4 to 8 hours)

Limits and Derivatives: Simple concepts on limits and derivatives. Solving some simple problems in Algebraic expressions is sufficient. Difficult trigonometric functions not necessary. (4 to 8 hours)

12th Maths:

Continuity and Differentiability: 5.2, 5.3, 5.7 simple problems in Second order differentiation. (4 to 8 hours)

Applications of Derivatives: Exercises 6.1, 6.2 (Maxima Minima finding important) (4 to 8 hours)

Integrals: Exercises 7.1, 7.8 (Area under the curve important) (4 to 8 hours)

Vector Algebra: Exercises 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 (Entire chapter very important for Physics as we use dot product, cross product all the time) (4 to 8 hours)

What? Basic Mathematical Formula for Physics Numerical Solving

Why? While doing Physics Numerical Solving students struggle with basic Maths principle that has to be applied in the numericals. Especially topics such as Vector Multiplication, Basic Differentiation, Basic Integration etc. students need help. 

A small town with a demand of 800 kW of electric power at 220 V is situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5 Ohms / km. The town gets power from the line through a 4000-220 V step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town.
