SOLUTIONS TO CHAPTER 1
1.1
In Figure 1.1(a), the restoring force is given by:
F = − mg sin θ
By substitution of relation sin θ = x l into the above equation, we have:
F = −mg x l
so the stiffness is given by:
s = − F x = mg l
so we have the frequency given by:
ω2 = s m = g l
Since θ is a very small angle, i.e. θ = sin θ = x l , or x = lθ , we have the restoring force
given by:
F = − mgθ
Now, the equation of motion using angular displacement θ can by derived from Newton’s
second law:
F = m&x&
i.e. − mgθ = mlθ&&

i.e. dp = −γp

The change of volume is given by dV = Ax , so we have:

compare with equation (1.2) we find: A = a cos φ and B = −a sin φ . We can also
find, with the same analysis, that the values of A and B for solution
x = a sin(ωt − φ ) are given by: A = −a sin φ and B = a cos φ , and for solution

(a) If the mass m is displaced a distance of x from its equilibrium position, either
the upper or the lower string has an extension of x 2 . So, the restoring force of
the mass is given by: F = − sx 2 and the stiffness of the system is given by:
s′ = − F x = s 2 . Hence the frequency is given by ωa2 = s′ m = s 2m .
(b) The frequency of the system is given by: ωb2 = s m

(c) If the mass m is displaced a distance of x from its equilibrium position, the
restoring force of the mass is given by: F = − sx − sx = −2 sx and the stiffness of
the system is given by: s′ = − F x = 2 s . Hence the frequency is given by
ωc2 = s′ m = 2s m .
Therefore, we have the relation: ωa2 : ωb2 : ωc2 = s 2m : s m : 2s m = 1 : 2 : 4
1.6
At time t = 0 , x = x0 gives:
a sin φ = x0 (1.6.1)
x& = v0 gives:
aω cos φ = v0 (1.6.2)

tan φ = ωx0 v0 and a = ( x02 + v02 ω 2 )1 2
1.7
The equation of this simple harmonic motion can be written as: x = a sin(ωt + φ ) .
The time spent in moving from x to x + dx is given by: dt = dx vt , where vt is
the velocity of the particle at time t and is given by: vt = x& = aω cos(ωt + φ ) .

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
Noting that the particle will appear twice between x and x + dx within one period
of oscillation. We have the probability η of finding it between x to x + dx given
2dt 2π

Since the displacements of the equally spaced oscillators in y direction is a sine
curve, the phase difference δφ between two oscillators a distance x apart given is
proportional to the phase difference 2π between two oscillators a distance λ apart

by: δφ 2π = x λ , i.e. δφ = 2πx λ .
1.9
The mass loses contact with the platform when the system is moving downwards and
the acceleration of the platform equals the acceleration of gravity. The acceleration of
a simple harmonic vibration can be written as: a = Aω 2 sin(ωt + φ ) , where A is the
amplitude, ω is the angular frequency and φ is the initial phase. So we have:
Aω 2 sin(ωt + φ ) = g
g
i.e. A=
ω sin(ωt + φ )

The mass of the element dy is given by: m′ = mdy l . The velocity of an element
dy of its length is proportional to its distance y from the fixed end of the spring, and
is given by: v′ = yv l . where v is the velocity of the element at the other end of the
spring, i.e. the velocity of the suspended mass M . Hence we have the kinetic energy

As the string is shortened work is done against: (a) gravity (mg cosθ ) and (b) the centrifugal
force ( mv r = mlθ& ) along the time of shortening. Assume that during shortening there are

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
many swings of constant amplitude so work done is:
A = −(mg cosθ + mlθ& 2 )Δl
where the bar denotes the average value. For small θ , cosθ = 1 − θ 2 2 so:
A = − mgΔl + (mg θ 2 2 − mlθ& 2 )
The term − mgΔl is the elevation of the equilibrium position and does not affect the energy of
motion so the energy change is:
ΔE = (mg θ 2 2 − mlθ& 2 )Δl

Now the pendulum motion has energy:

which is that of a simple harmonic oscillation with linear amplitude lθ 0 .
Taking the solution θ = θ 0 cos ωt which gives θ 2 = θ 02 2 and θ& 2 = ω 2 θ 02 2 with

where the maximum displacement is:

m&x& + sx = F0eiωt (3.3.1)
We try the steady state solution x = Aeiωt and the velocity is given by:
x& = iωAeiωt = iωx

so that:
&x& = i 2ω 2 x = −ω 2 x
and equation (3.3.1) becomes:
(− Aω 2 m + As )eiωt = F0eiωt
which is true for all t when

Hence, the amplitude of x is given by:

By solving the equation:

we can easily find the transient term of the equation of the motion of an undamped

where, ω0 = s m , C and D are constant. Finally, we have the general solution

for the displacement given by the sum of steady term and transient term:

x= + C cos ω0t + D sin ω0t (3.3.2)

Since Δω ω0 << 1 and Δωt << 1 , we have:
ω ≈ ω0 , sin Δωt ≈ Δωt , and cos Δωt ≈ 1

Then, equation (3.4.4) becomes:

Considering an electron in an atom as a lightly damped simple harmonic oscillator,

On the other hand, the relation between frequency and wavelength of light is given
by:

where, c is speed of light in vacuum. From (3.16.2) we find at frequency resonance:

where λ0 is the wavelength at frequency resonance. Then, the relation between

Provided x is the extension of the spring and l is the natural length of the spring,

s = ω 2μ = = ≈ 120[ Nm −1 ]

4.5
If the upper mass oscillate with a displacement of x and the lower mass oscillate
with a displacement of y , the equations of motion of the two masses are given by
Newton’s second law as:

m&x& = s ( y − x) − sx
m&y& = s ( x − y )
i.e.
m&x& + s ( x − y ) − sx = 0
m&y& − s ( x − y ) = 0
Suppose the system starts from rest and oscillates in only one of its normal modes of
frequency ω , we may assume the solutions:
x = Aeiωt
y = Beiωt
where A and B are the displacement amplitude of x and y at frequency ω .

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
Using these solutions, the equations of motion become:

[−mω 2 A + s( A − B) + sA]eiωt = 0
[−mω 2 B − s( A − B)]eiωt = 0
We may, by dividing through by me iωt , rewrite the above equations in matrix form
as:
⎡2 s m − ω 2 − s m ⎤ ⎡ A⎤
⎢ ⎥⎢ ⎥ = 0 (4.5.1)
⎣ −s m s m − ω 2 ⎦ ⎣ B⎦
which has a non-zero solution if and only if the determinant of the matrix vanishes;
that is, if
(2s m − ω 2 )( s m − ω 2 ) − s 2 m 2 = 0
i.e. ω 4 − (3s m) ω 2 + s 2 m 2 = 0
s
i.e. ω 2 = (3 ± 5 )

In the slower mode, ω 2 = (3 − 5 ) s 2m . By substitution of the value of frequency
into equation (4.5.1), we have:
A s s − mω 2 5 −1
= = =
B 2 s − mω 2
s 2
which is the ratio of the amplitude of the upper mass to that of the lower mass.
Similarly, in the slower mode, ω 2 = (3 + 5 ) s 2m . By substitution of the value of
frequency into equation (4.5.1), we have:
A s s − mω 2 5 +1
= = =−

The motions of the two pendulums in Figure 4.3 are given by:

x = 2a cos 2 cos 1 = 2a cos ωmt cos ωat
2 2
(ω − ω1 )t (ω + ω2 )t
y = 2a sin 2 sin 1 = 2a sin ωmt sin ωat
2 2
where, the amplitude of the two masses, 2a cos ωmt and 2a sin ωmt , are constants
over one cycle at the frequency ωa .
Supposing the spring is very weak, the stiffness of the spring is ignorable, i.e. s ≈ 0 .

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
Noting that ω12 = g l and ω22 = ( g l + 2s m) , we have:
⎛ ω + ω2 ⎞

Hence, the energies of the masses are given by:

The total energy is given by:
E = Ex + E y = 2ma 2ωa2 (cos2 ωmt + sin 2 ωmt ) = 2ma 2ωa2
Noting that ωm = (ω2 − ω1 ) 2 , we have:
E
E x = 2ma 2ωa2 cos 2 (ω2 − ω1 )t =
[1 + cos(ω2 − ω1 )t ]
2
E
E y = 2ma 2ωa2 sin 2 (ω2 − ω1 )t = [1 − cos(ω2 − ω1 )t ]

which show that the constant energy E is completed exchanged between the two
pendulums at the beat frequency (ω2 − ω1 ) .

By adding up the two equations of motion, we have:
m1&x& + m2 &y& = −(m1 x + m2 y )( g l )
By multiplying the equation by 1 (m1 + m2 ) on both sides, we have:
m1 &x& + m2 &y& g m1 x + m2 y

m1 &x& + m2 &y& g m1 x + m2 y

where,

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
On the other hand, the equations of motion can be written as:

g s
&x& = − x − ( x − y)
l m1
g s
&y& = − y+ ( x − y)
l m2
By subtracting the above equations, we have:

Y&& + ω22Y = 0 (4.7.2)
where,
g ⎛ 1 1 ⎞
Y = x− y and ω22 = + s⎜⎜ + ⎟⎟
l ⎝ m1 m2 ⎠
Equations (4.7.1) and (4.7.2) take the form of linear differential equations with
constant coefficients and each equation contains only one dependant variable,
therefore X and Y are normal coordinates and their normal frequencies are given
by ω1 and ω2 respectively.
4.8
Since the initial condition gives x& = y& = 0 , we may write, in normal coordinate, the
solutions to the equations of motion of Problem 4.7 as:

X = X 0 cos ω1t
Y = Y0 cos ω2t
i.e.
m1 x + m2 y
= X 0 cos ω1t
m1 + m2
x − y = Y0 cos ω2t
By substitution of initial conditions: t = 0 , x = A and y = 0 into the above
equations, we have:
X 0 = ( m1 M ) A
Y0 = A

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
where, M = m1 + m2
so the equations of motion in original coordinates x , y are given by:
m1 x + m2 y m1
= A cos ω1t
m1 + m2 M
x − y = A cos ω2t
The solutions to the above equations are given by:
A
x= (m1 cos ω1t + m2 cos ω2t )
M
m
y = A 1 (cos ω1t − cos ω2t )

Noting that ω1 = ωa − ωm and ω2 = ωa + ωm , where ωm = (ω2 − ω1 ) 2 and
ωa = (ω1 + ω2 ) 2 , the above equations can be rearranged as:
A
x= [m1 cos(ωa − ωm )t + m2 cos(ωa + ωm )t ]
M
A

4.9
From the analysis in Problem 4.6, we know, at weak coupling conditions, cos ωmt
and sin ωmt are constants over one cycle, and the relation: ωa ≈ g l , so the energy
of the mass m1 , E x , and the energy of the mass m2 , E y , are the sums of their
separate kinetic and potential energies, i.e.:

range ω2 − ω1 the motion of y is attenuated.
4.11
Suppose the displacement of mass M is x , the displacement of mass m is y ,
and the tension of the spring is T . Equations of motion give:

M&x& + kx = F0 cos ωt + T (4.11.1)
m&y& = −T (4.11.2)
s ( y − x) = T (4.11.3)

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
Eliminating T , we have:
M&x& + kx = F0 cos ωt + s ( y − x)
so for x = 0 at all times, we have

F0 cos ωt + sy = 0
that is
F0
y=− cos ωt
s
Equation (4.11.2) and (4.11.3) now give:
m&y& + sy = 0
with ω 2 = s m , so M is stationary at ω 2 = s m .
This value of ω satisfies all equations of motion for x=0 including
T = − F0 cos ωt
4.12
Noting the relation: V = q C , the voltage equations can be written as:
q1 q2 dI
− =L a
C C dt
q2 q3 dI
− =L b
C C dt
so we have:
q&1 − q& 2 = LCI&&a
q& − q& = LCI&&
2 3 b
i.e.
q&1 − q&2 = LCI&&a
q& − q& = LCI&&
2 3 b
By substitution of q&1 = − I a , q& 2 = I a − I b and q&3 = I b into the above equations, we
have:
− I a − I a + I b = LCI&&a
I − I − I = LCI&&
a b b b
i.e.
LCI&&a + 2 I a − I b = 0
LCI&&b − I a + 2 I b = 0

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
By adding up and subtracting the above equations, we have:

LC ( I&& + I&& ) + I + I = 0
a b a b
LC ( I&&a − I&&b ) + 3( I a − I b ) = 0
Supposing the solutions to the above normal modes equations are given by:
I a + I b = A cos ωt
I a − I b = B cos ωt
so we have:
(− Aω 2 LC + A) cos ωt = 0
(− Bω 2 LC + 3B) cos ωt = 0
which are true for all t when

ω2 = and B=0

4.13
From the given equations, we have the relation between I1 and I 2 given by:
iω M
I2 = I1
Z 2 + iωLs
so:
⎛ ω 2M ⎞
E = iωL p I1 − iωMI 2 = ⎜⎜ iωL p + ⎟ I1
⎝ Z 2 + iωLs ⎟⎠
i.e.
E ω 2M 2
= iωL p +
I1 Z 2 + iωLs
which shows that E I1 , the impedance of the whole system seen by the generator, is
the sum of the primary impedance, iωL p , and a ‘reflected impedance’ from the

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
secondary circuit of ω 2 M 2 Z s , where Z s = Z 2 + iωLs .
4.14
Problem 4.13 shows the impedance seen by the generator Z is given by:
ω 2M 2
Z = iωL p +
Z 2 + iωLs
Noting that M = L p Ls and L p Ls = n 2p ns2 , the impedance can be written as:
iωL p Z 2 − ω 2 L p Ls + ω 2 M 2 iω L p Z 2 − ω 2 M 2 + ω 2 M 2 iωL p Z 2
Z= = =
Z 2 + iωLs Z 2 + iωLs Z 2 + iωLs
so we have:

which shows the impedance Z is equivalent to the primary impedance iωL p
connected in parallel with an impedance (n p ns ) 2 Z 2 .
4.15
Suppose a generator with the internal impedance of Z1 is connected with a load with
an impedance of Z 2 via an ideal transformer with a primary inductance of L p and
the ratio of the number of primary and secondary transformer coil turns given by
n p ns , and the whole circuit oscillate at a frequency of ω . From the analysis in
Problem 4.13, the impedance of the load is given by:

which is the relation used for matching a load to a generator.

i.e. I2 = I1

Noting that Z M = iωM and I 2 has the maximum value when X 1 = X 2 = 0 , i.e.
Z1 = R1 and Z 2 = R2 , we have:

I2 = I1 = I1 ≤ I1 = I1

In equation (4.14), we have A0 = A4 = 0 when n = 3 , and noting that ω02 = T ma ,
equation (4.14) gives:

i.e. ⎜

which has non zero solutions provided the determinant of the matrix is zero, i.e.:
(2 − ω 2 ω02 )3 − 2(2 − ω 2 ω02 ) = 0
The solutions to the above equations are given by:

ω12 = (2 − 2 )ω02 ,` ω22 = 2ω02 , and ω12 = (2 + 2 )ω02
4.18
By substitution of ω12 = (2 − 2 )ω02 into equation (4.17.1), we have:
2 A1 − A2 = 0 i.e. A1 : A2 = 1 : 2
By substitution of ω12 = (2 − 2 )ω02 into equation (4.17.3), we have:
− A2 + 2 A3 = 0 i.e. A2 : A3 = 2 : 1
Hence, when ω12 = (2 − 2 )ω02 , the relative displacements are given by:
A1 : A2 : A3 = 1 : 2 : 1
By substitution of ω22 = 2ω02 into equation (4.17.1), we have:

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
A2 = 0
By substitution of ω22 = 2ω02 into equation (4.17.2), we have:
− A1 + A3 = 0 i.e. A1 : A3 = 1 : −1
Hence, when ω22 = 2ω02 , the relative displacements are given by:
A1 : A2 : A3 = 1 : 0 : −1
By substitution of ω22 = (2 + 2 )ω02 into equation (4.17.1), we have:
− 2 A1 − A2 = 0 i.e. A1 : A2 = 1 : − 2
By substitution of ω12 = (2 + 2 )ω02 into equation (4.17.3), we have:
− A2 − 2 A3 = 0 i.e. A2 : A3 = − 2 : 1
Hence, when ω12 = (2 + 2 )ω02 , the relative displacements are given by:
A1 : A2 : A3 = 1 : − 2 : 1
The relative displacements of the three masses at different normal frequencies are
shown below:
ω 2 = (2 − 2 )ω02 ω 2 = 2ω02 ω 2 = (2 + 2 )ω02
As we can see from the above figures that tighter coupling corresponds to higher
frequency.
4.19
Suppose the displacement of the left mass m is x , and that of the central mass M
is y , and that of the right mass m is z . The equations of motion are given by:

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
m&x& = s ( y − x)
M&y& = − s ( y − x) + s ( z − y )
m&z& = − s ( z − y )
If the system has a normal frequency of ω , and the displacements of the three masses
can by written as:
x = η1eiωt
y = η 2eiωt
z = η3eiωt
By substitution of the expressions of displacements into the above equations of
motion, we have:
− mω 2η1eiωt = s (η 2 − η1 )eiωt
− Mω 2η 2eiωt = − s (η 2 − η1 )eiωt + s (η3 − η 2 )eiωt
− mω 2η3eiωt = − s (η3 − η 2 )eiωt
i.e.
[( s − mω 2 )η1 − sη 2 ]eiωt = 0
[− sη1 + (2s − Mω 2 )η 2 − sη3 ]eiωt = 0
[− sη 2 + ( s − mω 2 )η3 ]eiωt = 0
which is true for all t if
( s − mω 2 )η1 − sη 2 = 0
− sη1 + (2s − Mω 2 )η 2 − sη3 = 0
− sη 2 + ( s − mω 2 )η3 = 0
The matrix format of these equations is given by:
⎛ s − mω 2 −s 0 ⎞⎛ η1 ⎞
⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟
⎜ −s 2s − Mω 2
− s ⎟⎜η 2 ⎟ = 0
⎜ 0 −s s − mω 2 ⎟⎠⎜⎝η3 ⎟⎠
⎝
which has non zero solutions if and only if the determinant of the matrix is zero, i.e.:
( s − mω 2 ) 2 (2s − Mω 2 ) − 2s 2 ( s − mω 2 ) = 0
i.e. ( s − mω 2 )[(s − mω 2 )(2s − Mω 2 ) − 2s 2 ] = 0
i.e. ( s − mω 2 )[mMω 4 − s ( M + 2m)ω 2 ] = 0
i.e. ω 2 ( s − mω 2 )[mMω 2 − s ( M + 2m)] = 0

The solutions to the above equation, i.e. the frequencies of the normal modes, are
given by:
s s ( M + 2m)
ω12 = 0 , ω22 = and ω32 =
m mM

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
At the normal mode of ω 2 = 0 , all the atoms are stationary, η1 = η 2 = η3 , i.e. all the
masses has the same displacement;

s
At the normal mode of ω 2 = , η 2 = 0 and η1 = −η3 , i.e. the mass M is
m
stationary, and the two masses m have the same amplitude but are “anti-phase” with
respect to each other;
s ( M + 2m)
At the normal mode of ω 2 = , η1 : η 2 : η3 = M : −2m : M , i.e. the two
mM
mass m have the same amplitude and are “in-phase” with respect to each other.
They are both “anti-phase” with respect to the mass M . The ratio of amplitude
between the mass m and M is M 2m .
4.20
In understanding the motion of the masses it is more instructive to consider the range
n 2 ≤ j ≤ n . For each value of the frequency ω j the amplitude of the r th mass is
rjπ
Ar = C sin where C is a constant. For j = n 2 adjacent masses have a π 2
n +1
phase difference, so the ratios: Ar −1 : Ar : Ar +1 = −1 : 0 : 1 , with the r th masses
stationary and the amplitude Ar −1 anti-phase with respect to Ar +1 , so that:
Ar +1 Ar → 0
Ar
Ar −1
j→n
j=n 2
As n 2 → n , Ar begins to move, the coupling between masses tightens and when
j is close to n each mass is anti-phase with respect to its neighbour, the amplitude
of each mass decreases until in the limit j = n no motion is transmitted as the cut off
frequency ω 2j = 4T ma is reached. The end points are fixed and this restricts the
motion of the masses near the end points at all frequencies except the lowest.
4.21
By expansion of the expression of ω 2j , we have:

have:
I r −2 − 2 I r −1 + I r
LI&&r −1 = (4.22.1)
C
If, in the normal mode, the currents oscillate at a frequency ω , we may write the
displacements as:
I r −2 = Ar −2eiωt , I r −1 = Ar −1eiωt and I r = Ar eiωt
Using these values of I in equation (4.22.1) gives:

C
or

This problem is not viable in its present form and it will be revised in the next printing. The first
part in the zero reflected amplitude may be solved by replacing Z3 by Z1, which then equates r
with R′ because each is a reflection at a Z1Z 2 boundary. We then have the total reflected
amplitude as:
tTR′
R + tTR′(1 + R′2 + R′4 + L) = R +
1 − R′ 2
Stokes’ relations show that the incident amplitude may be reconstructed by reversing the paths of
the transmitted and reflected amplitudes.
T is transmitted back along the incident direction as tT in Z1 and is reflected as TR′ in
Z2 .
R is reflected in Z1 as ( R) R = R 2 back along the incident direction and is refracted as TR
in the TR′ direction in Z 2 .
We therefore have tT + R = 1 in Z1 , i.e. tT = 1 − R and T ( R + R′) = 0 in Z 2 giving

2 2
R = − R′ , ∴ tT = 1 − R 2 = 1 − R′2 giving the total reflected amplitude in Z1 as R + R′ = 0

Expand the expression of y ( x, t ) , we have:
y ( x, t ) = A cos(ωt − kx) + rA cos(ωt + kx)

which is the superposition of standing waves.

The wave group has a modulation envelope of:

where Δω = ω1 − ω2 is the frequency difference and Δk = k1 − k2 is the wave number
difference. At a certain time t , the distance between two successive zeros of the modulation
envelope Δx satisfies:
Δk
Δx = π

Noting that k = 2π λ , for a small value of Δλ λ , we have: Δk ≈ (2π λ2 )Δλ , so the above

i.e. A2 e − ik2l + B2 eik2l = A3 (6.13.3)

The fluid is incompressible so that during the wave motion there is no change in the volume of the
fluid element of height h , horizontal length Δx and unit width. The distortion η in the
element Δx is therefore directly translated to a change in its height h and its constant volume
requires that:
hΔx = (h + α )( Δx + Δη ) = hΔx + hΔη + αΔx + αΔη
Because α << h and Δη << Δx , the second order term αΔη is ignorable, we then have
α = −h Δη Δx = −h ∂η ∂x , and from now on we replace Δx by dx .
We see that for α + ve (or increase in height), we have ∂η ∂x − ve , that is, a compression.
On page 153 of the text, the horizontal motion of the element is shown to be due to the difference
in forces acting on the opposing faces of the element hΔx , that is:
∂F ∂ 2η
− Δx = ρh 2 Δx
∂x ∂t
where the force difference, dF is − ve when measured in the + ve x direction for a
compression.
Thus:
∂F ∂ 2η ∂P
− dx = ρh 2 dx = − h av dx (6.16.1)
∂x ∂t ∂x
where the pressure must be averaged over the height of the element because it varies with the
liquid depth. This average value is found from the pressure difference (to unit depth) at the liquid
surface to between the two values of α on the opposing faces of the element. This gives:
dPav = ρgdα

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
dPav dα
so dx = ρg dx
dx dx
and we have from eq. 6.16.1:
∂F ∂P dα ∂ 2η ∂ 2η
− dx = −h av dx = − hρg dx = h 2 ρg 2 dx = ρh 2 dx
∂x ∂x dx ∂x ∂t
The last two terms equate to give the wave equation. For horizontal motion as:
∂ 2η ∂ 2η
= gh
∂t 2 ∂x 2
with phase velocity v = gh .

The horizontal motion translates directly to the vertical displacement α to give an equation of

with a similar phase velocity v = gh

Fig Q.7.2.1
A pair of parallel wires of circular cross section and radius a are separated at a distance 2d
between their centres.
To find the inductance per unit length we close the circuit by joining the sides of a section of
length l .
The self inductance of this circuit is the magnetic flux through the circuit when a current of 1 amp
flows around it.
If the current is 1 amp the field outside the wire at a distance r from the centre is μ0 I 2πr ,
where μ0 is the permeability of free space. For a clockwise current in the circuit (Fig Q.7.2.1)
both wires contribute to the magnetic flux B which points downwards into the page and the total
flux through the circuit is given by:
2 d −2 a μ 0 Idr μ 0lI ⎛ 2d ⎞
2l ∫ = ln⎜ ⎟ for d >> a
a 2πr π ⎝ a ⎠
Hence the self inductance per unit length is:
μ 0 ⎛ 2d ⎞
L= ln⎜ ⎟
π ⎝ a ⎠
To find the capacitance per unit length of such a pair of wires we first find the electrostatic
potential at a distance r from a single wire and proceed to find the potential from a pair of wires
via the principle of electrostatic images.
If the radius of the wire is a and it carries a charge of λ per unit length then the electrostatic
flux E per unit length of the cylindrical surface is: 2πrE ( r ) = λ ε 0 , where ε 0 is the
permittivity of free space. Thus E ( r ) = λ 2πε 0 r for r > a and we have the potential:

The conducting wires are now represented in the image system of Fig Q.7.2.2. The equipotential
surfaces will be seen to be cylindrical but not coaxial with the wires. Neither the electric field nor
the charge density is uniform on the conducting surface.
The surface charge is collapsed onto two line carrying charges ± λ per unit length. The y axis
represents an equipotential plane.
The conducting wires, of radius a , are centred a distance d from the origin ο ( x = y = 0) .
The distances ± p can be chosen of the line charges so that the conducting surfaces lie on the
equipotentials of the image charge. Choosing the potential to be zero at ∞ on the y axis, the
potential at point p in the xy plane is given by:

where α = ( d + p ) ; β = ( d − p ) ; γ = ( d + r cos θ ) and δ = (r 2 + p 2 − d 2 ) .

For a real transmission line with a propagation constant γ , the forward current wave I x + at
position x is given by:
I x + = I 0+ e −γx = Ae −γx
where I 0+ = A is the forward current wave at position x = 0 . So the forward voltage wave at
position x is given by:
Vx+ = Z 0 I x + = Z 0 Ae −γx
The backward current wave I x − at position x is given by:
I x − = I 0 − e + γx = Be + γx
where I 0 − = B is the backward current wave at position x = 0 . So the backward voltage wave
at position x is given by:
Vx − = − Z 0 I x − = − Z 0 Be + γx
Therefore the impedance seen from position x is given by:
Vx+ + Vx− Z 0 Ae −γx − Z 0 Be + γx Ae −γx − Be + γx

( Z 0 − Z L ) Ae −γl = ( Z 0 + Z L ) Beγl
A ( Z 0 + Z L ) 2γl
i.e. = e

so we have:

If the transmission line of Problem 7.6 is short-circuited, i.e. Z L = 0 , The expression of input
impedance in Problem 7.6 gives:

Z sc = Z 0 = Z 0 tanh γl
Z 0 cosh γl
If the transmission line of Problem 7.6 is open-circuited, i.e. Z L = ∞ , The expression of input
impedance in Problem 7.6 gives:
Z L cosh γl
Z oc = Z 0 = Z 0 coth γl
Z L sinh γl
By taking the product of these two impedances we have:
Z sc Z oc = Z 02 , i.e. Z 0 = Z sc Z oc
which shows the characteristic impedance of the line can be obtained by measuring the
impedances of short-circuited line and open-circuited line separately and then taking the square
root of the product of the two values.

The forward and reflected voltage waves at the end of the line are given by:
Vl + = −Vl − = V0+ e − ikl
where V0+ is the forward voltage at the beginning of the line. So the reflected voltage wave at

V0− = Vl − e − ikl = −V0+ e − i 2 kl

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
The forward and reflected current waves at the end of the line are given by:
I l + = Vl + Z 0 = V0+ e − ikl Z 0 = I 0+ e −ikl

I l − = − Vl − Z 0 = Vl + Z 0 = I 0+ e −ikl
where I 0+ is the forward current at the beginning of the line. So the reflected current wave at the
beginning of the line is given by:
I 0− = I l − e − ikl = I 0+ e − i 2 kl
Therefore the input impedance of the line is given by:

For E > V (inside the potential well), the value of γ is given by:

where A , B are constants.
For E < V (outside the potential well), the value of γ is given by:

So the expression of ψ is given by:

The magnitude of Poynting vector on the surface of the wire can be calculated by
deriving the electric and magnetic fields respectively.
The vector of magnetic field on the surface of the cylindrical wire points towards the
azimuthal direction, and its magnitude is given by Ampere’s Law:
I
H = Hθ eθ = eθ
2πr
where r is the radius of the wire’s cross circular section, and I is the current in the
wire.
Ohm’s Law, J = σE , shows the vector of electric field on the surface of the
cylindrical wire points towards the current’s direction, and its magnitude equals the
voltage drop per unit length, i.e.:
V IR
E = Eze z = e z = e z
l l
where, l is the length of the wire, and the V is the voltage drop along the whole
length of the wire and is given by Ohm’s Law: V = IR , where R is the resistance of
the wire.
Hence, the Poynting vector on the surface of the wire points towards the axis of the
wire is given by:
S = E × H = E z e z × H θ eθ = − E z Hθ e r
which shows the Poynting vector on the surface of the wire points towards the axis of
the wire, which corresponds to the flow of energy into the wire from surrounding
space. The product of its magnitude and the surface area of the wire is given by:
IR I
S × 2πrl = E z Hθ × 2πrl = 2πrl = I 2 R
l 2πr
which is the rate of generation of heat in the wire.
8.5
By relating Poynting vector to magnetic energy, we first need to derive the magnitude
of Poynting vector in terms of magnetic field.
The electric field on the inner surface of the solenoid can be derived from the integral
format of Faraday’s Law:
∂H
∫ Edl = −μ ∫ ∂t dS
where S is the area of the solenoid’s cross section. E is the electric field on the
inner surface of the solenoid, and H is the magnetic field inside the solenoid.
For a long uniformly wound solenoid the electric field uniformly points towards
azimuthal direction, i.e. E = Eθ eθ , and the magnetic field inside the solenoid

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
uniformly points along the axis direction, i.e. H = H z e z . So the above equation
becomes
∂H z 2
Eθ × 2πr = − μπr
∂t
μr ∂H z
i.e. Eθ = −
2 ∂t
where r is the radius of the cross section of the solenoid.
Hence, the Poynting vector on the inner surface of the solenoid is given by:
μr ∂H z
E × H = Eθ eθ × H z e z = − H z er
2 ∂t
which points towards the axis of the solenoid and corresponds to the inward energy
flow. The product of its magnitude and the surface area of the solenoid is given by:
μr ∂H z ∂H z
S × 2πrl = Hz × 2πrl = πr 2lH z
2 ∂t ∂t
where l is the length of the solenoid.
On the other hand, the time rate of change of magnetic energy stored in the solenoid
of a length l is given by:

⎜ μH × πr l ⎟ = πr lH z

The surface current in the strip is given by:

When a plane electromagnetic wave travelling in air with an impedance of Z air is

H t Et Z air Z air 2Z c 2 Z air
TH = = = =
Hi Ei Z c Z c Z c + Z air Z c + Z air
The impedance of a good conductor tends to zero, i.e. Z c → 0 , so we have:

After reflection from the air-conductor interface, standing waves are formed in the air

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
with a magnitude of H i + H r in magnetic field and a magnitude of Ei + Er in

the forward (incident) current is given by: I i = I + = V+ Z 0 , and the backward

field in a conductor as:

E x = E0 cos ωt and H y = H 0 cos(ωt − φ )

Boundary condition z = 0 at y = 0 gives:

Therefore, the real part of z is given by:

E z = E1e + E2 e
where k x = k cos θ and k y = k sin θ
Boundary condition E z = 0 at x = 0 gives:
i ( k y y −ωt )

which is true for any t and y if E1 = − E2 = E0 , so we have:

Ez = E0e − E0e = E0 (eikx x − e −ikx x )e

So the electric field in x direction is given by:

−ik y y
(9.8.1)

ik y y
Using boundary condition E x = 0 at y = 0 in equation (9.8.1) gives: C1 = −C2 .
Using boundary condition E x = 0 at z = 0 in equation (9.8.1) gives: D1 = − D2 .
So equation (9.8.1) becomes:

− ik y y
E x = C1 D1 (e −e )(eikz z − e −ik z z ) cos(ωt − k x x)
ik y y
or E x = A sin k y y sin k z z cos(ωt − k x x) (9.8.2)
where A is constant.
Using boundary condition E x = 0 at y = a in equation (9.8.2) gives: sin k y a = 0 , i.e.
k y = mπ a , where m = 1,2,3,L .
Using boundary condition E x = 0 at z = b in equation (9.8.2) gives: sin k z b = 0 , i.e.

which is true for any t and y if:
A1 = − A4 and A2 = − A3
so we have:
z = A1{ei[ωt −( k1x+k2 y )] − ei[ωt −( − k1x+k2 y )]} + A2{ei[ωt −( k1x−k2 y )] − ei[ωt −( − k1x−k2 y )]

which is true for any t and x if:

The wave form in the upper figure has an average value of zero and is an odd function
of time, so its Fourier series has a constant of zero and only sine terms. Since the
wave form is constant over its half period, the Fourier coefficient bn will be zero if
n is even, i.e. there are only odd harmonics and the harmonics range from 1,3,5 to
infinity.
The wave form in the lower figure has a positive average value and is a even function
of time, so its Fourier series has a constant of positive value and only cosine terms.
Since τ T ≠ 1 2 , there are both odd and even harmonics. The harmonics range from
1,2,3 to infinity.
10.2
Such a periodic waveform should satisfy: f ( x) = − f ( x − T 2) , where T is the
period of the waveform. Its Fourier coefficient of cosine terms can be written as:
2 T 2πnx
an =
T 0 ∫ f ( x) cos
T
dx
2⎡ T2 2πnx T 2πnx ⎤
= ⎢ ∫ f ( x) cos dx + ∫ f ( x) cos dx ⎥
T⎣ 0 T T 2 T ⎦
= ⎢ ∫ f ( x) cos dx + ∫ − f ( x − T 2) cos d ( x − T 2) ⎥
T⎣ 0 T T 2 T ⎦
If n is even, we have
2πn( x − T 2) ⎛ 2πnx ⎞ 2πnx
cos = cos⎜ − nπ ⎟ = cos
T ⎝ T ⎠ T
Hence, by substituting into an and using u = x − T 2 , we have:
2⎡ T2 2πnx T 2 2πnu ⎤
an = ⎢
T⎣ ∫0
f ( x ) cos
T
dx − ∫0
f (u ) cos
T

⎦
Similarly, the coefficient of sine terms is given by:
2 T 2πnx
bn =
T ∫0
f ( x) sin
T
dx
= ⎢ ∫ f ( x) sin dx + ∫ f ( x) sin dx ⎥
T⎣ 0 T T 2 T ⎦
= ⎢ ∫ f ( x) sin dx + ∫ − f ( x − T 2) sin d ( x − T 2) ⎥
T⎣ 0 T T 2 T ⎦

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
If n is even, using u = x − T 2 , we have:
2⎡ T2 2πnx T 2 2πnu ⎤
bn = ⎢
T⎣0∫ f ( x) sin

Therefore, if n is even, the Fourier coefficients of both cosine and sine terms are
zero, i.e. there are no even order frequency components.

Referring to pages 46 and 47 of the text, and in particular to the example of the
radiating atom, we see that the energy of the damped simple harmonic motion:
E = E0e −ω 0 t Q = E0 e −1 where Q ω0 = t , the period for which the atom radiates
before cut off at e −1 .

The length of the wave train radiated by the atom is l = ct where c is the velocity
of light and l is the coherence length which contains Q radians.
Since the coherence length is finite the radiation cannot be represented by a single
angular frequency ω0 but by a bandwidth Δω centred about ω0 .
Now Q = ω0 Δω so Q ω0 = t = 1 Δω . Writing t = Δt we have ΔωΔt = 1 or
ΔνΔt = 1 2π .
The bandwidth effect on the spectral line is increased in a gas of radiating atoms at
temperature T . Collisions between the atoms shorten the coherence length and the
Doppler effect from atomic thermal velocities adds to Δν .

order of interference from the row radiation, we have from pages 364/5 the relations:

Using the Principal Maximum condition:

The above polar diagrams show the traces of the tip of the intensity of diffracted light

width to the wavelength d λ changes from 1 to 4. It is evidently shown that the
polar diagram becomes concentrated along the direction θ = 0 as d λ becomes
larger.

It is evident that α = 0 satisfies the condition: α = tan α .
By substitution of α = 3π 2 − δ into the condition: α = tan α we have:
3π 2 − δ = tan(3π 2 − δ )

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
i.e. 3π 2 − δ = cot δ
i.e. (3π 2 − δ ) sin δ = cos δ
when δ is small, we have:
δ2
(3π 2 − δ )δ = 1 −
2
The solution to the above equation is given by: δ = 0.7π .
Using the similar analysis for α = 5π 2 − δ and α = 7π 2 − δ , we can find
δ = 0.041π and δ = 0.029π respectively. Therefore the real solutions for α are
α = 0,±1.43π ,±2.459π ,3.471π , etc .

If only interference effects are considered the intensity of this grating is given by:
sin 2 3β

The intensity of the principal maximum is given by: I max = 9I 0 when β = 0 .

dβ ⎜⎝ sin 2 β ⎠
i.e. sin 2 β = 1

i.e. β sec_ max = (2n + 1) , where n is integer

Suppose a monochromatic light incident on a grating, the phase change dβ required

Then, suppose a non-monochromatic light, i.e. λ is not constant, incident on the
same grating, the phase change dβ required to move the diffracted light from the
principal maximum to the first minimum should be the same value as given above, so
we have:

When the objects O and O′ are just resolved at I and I ′ the principal

thus defines the path difference:

Also OB = OA giving
(O′B − OB) + (OA − O′A) = 1.22λ
Fig.Q.12.14 shows OA parallel to O′A and OB parallel to O′B , so:

OA − O′A = O′C = OO′ sin i = s sin i

When the wave is normally incident on a perfect absorber, all the photons’ velocity changes from

The general expression of the wave function is given by: ψ = Ceikx + De −ikx , where A, B are
constants. Using boundary condition at x = a and x = − a , we have:

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
ψ (a) = Ceika + De −ika = 0

ψ (−a) = Ce − ika + Deika = 0
which gives: C = D , so we have:
ψ = Ceikx + Ce −ikx = A cos kx

where A = 2C .
Boundary condition: ψ = 0 at x = a gives: cos ka = 0 , i.e.:
⎛ 1⎞π
k = ⎜ n + ⎟ , where n = 0,1,2,3,L
⎝ 2⎠ a
Hence, the ground state equation is given by letting n = 0 , i.e.:

Using equation 15.3.1 and 15.3.3 and the relation

u2 = ⎜ − ⎟

(15.3.5)
Then, using equation 15.3.4 and 15.3.5 to eliminate u2 , we have:

2 γ −1 p2 − p1
ρ 2 ρ1 + 1 γ p2 p1 − ρ 2 ρ1
i.e. =

i.e. [(1 + ρ 2 ρ1 )(γ − 1) − 2γ ] p2 p1 = (1 + ρ 2 ρ1 )(γ − 1) − 2γβ
i.e. [ β (γ − 1) − (γ + 1)] p2 p1 = (γ − 1) − β (γ + 1)
which yields:

where α = (γ − 1) (γ + 1) and β = ρ 2 ρ1 .

(15.4.4)
where y = p2 p1 and α = (γ − 1) (γ + 1) .
Then, using equation 15.4.1 and 15.4.4 to eliminate u1 u2 we have:

(15.4.5)
Frome equation 15.4.4 and 15.4.5 we have:

(15.4.6)
Hence, from equations 15.4.5 and 15.4.6 we have the flow velocity behind the shock give by:
c1 (1 − α )( y − 1)
u = u1 − u2 =
1(1 + α )( y + α )
15.5
In the case of reflected shock wave, as shown in Fig.(b), the shock strength is p3 p2 and the
velocity of sound ahead of the shock front is c2 . Hence, using the result of Problem 15.4, we
have the flow velocity ur behind the reflected wave given by:
ur (1 − α )( p3 p2 − 1)
=
c2 (1 + α )( p3 p2 + α )
(15.5.1)
In Fig.(a) the flow velocity u behind of the incident shock front is given by:

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
u (1 − α )( y − 1)

(15.5.2)
Using equation 15.5.1 and 15.5.2 together with the relation u + ur = 0 , c2 c1 = (T1 T2 )
12
and
T2 ⎛ 1 + αy ⎞
= y⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ , where y = p2 p1 , we have:
T1 ⎝α + y ⎠
( y − 1) 2 ( p3 p2 + α )
= y (1 + αy )
( p3 p2 − 1) 2
which yields:
p3 (2α + 1) y − α

From equation 15.9 in the text, we have:

Using the relation tanh′φ ≡ sech2φ and sech′φ = sechφtanhφ, where φ = α(x – ct), we have the
derivatives:
ut = 4α3 c sech2φ tanhφ = 2αuc tanhφ
ux = –4α3 sech2φ tanhφ = –2αu tanhφ
uxx = 8α4 sech2φ tanh2φ – 4α4 sech4φ = 4α2u tanh2φ – u2
uxx = –16α5 sech2φ tanhφ + 48α5 sech4φ tanhφ = –8α3u tanhφ + 12αu2 tanhφ
Then, using the relation c = 4α

2
we have:

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
ut + 6uu x + u xxx
= 2αuc tanh φ − 12αu 2 tanh φ − 8α 3u tanh φ + 12αu 2 tanh φ
=0
15.10
At the peak of Figure 15.5(a), φ = 2α ( x − ct ) = 0 , and near the base of Figure 15.5(a),
φ = 2α ( x − ct ) >> 0 , i.e. e −φ ≈ 0 . Hence, the solution of the KdV equation can be written as:
∂2 −2α ( x −ct ) ∂ 2 −2α ( x−ct )

u ( x, t ) = 2 log[1 + e ] ≈ 2 e = 8α 2e −2α ( x−ct )
∂x 2
∂x 2
Then, we have the derivatives,
ut = 16α 3ce −2α ( x−ct )
u xxx = −64α 5e −2α ( x−ct )
Therefore, if c = 4α ,
2
ut + u xxx = 0
15.11
Using the substitution z = x − ct and the relation tanh′φ ≡ sech2φ and sech′φ ≡ –sechφtanhφ,
where φ = α ( z − z0 ) , we have the derivatives:
ut = –4α3c sech2φ tanhφ = 2αuc tanhφ
ux = –4α3 sech2φ tanhφ = –2αu tanhφ
uxx = 4α4 sech4φ + 4α2u tanh2φ = 4α2u tanh2φ + u2
uxx = –16α5 sech2φ tanhφ + 48α5 sech4φ tanhφ = –8α3u tanhφ – 12αu2 tanhφ
Then, using the relation c = 4α , we have:

2
ut − 6uu x + u xxx
= 2αuc tanh φ + 12αu 2 tanh φ + 8α 3u tanh φ − 12αu 2 tanh φ
= −8α 3u tanh φ + 8α 3u tanh φ

If v + v x = u , then:

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
u x = 2vvx + vxx
u xx = 2(vx2 + vvxx ) + vxxx
u xxx = 2(2v x vxx + vvxxx + v x vxx ) + v xxxx = 6vx vxx + 2vvxxx + v xxxx
ut = 2vvt + vxt
The left side terms of equation mark in equation 15.13 give:

⎛∂ ⎞
⎜ + 2v ⎟(vt − 6v v x + vxxx )
2
⎝ ∂x ⎠
= vxt − 6(2vvx2 + v 2vxx ) + vxxxx + 2v(vt − 6v 2vx + v xxx )
= 2vvt − 12v 3vx + vxt − 12vvx2 − 6v 2vxx + 2vvxxx + v xxxx
The right side terms of equation mark in equation 15.13 give:
ut − 6uu x + u xxx
= 2vvt + vxt − 6(v 2 + vx )(2vvx + vxx ) + 6vx vxx + 2vvxxx + vxxxx
= 2vvt − 12v 3v x + vxt − 12vvx2 − 6v 2v xx + 2vvxxx + vxxxx
So we have:
⎛∂ ⎞
⎜ + 2v ⎟(vt − 6v vx + vxxx ) = ut − 6uu x + u xxx

By substitution of v = ψ x ψ into u ( x) = vx + v 2 , we have:

u = –2α2 sech2α (x – x0)
we have:

lOMoARcPSD|15953135
ψxx + (λ – u(x))ψ

Using transformation u → u − λ and x → x + 6λt , where u

and x are the variables
before transformation, we have: u = u + λ and x = x − 6λt , hence:

ut = (u * − λ )t = ut*
u x = (u * − λ ) x* xx∗ = u *x*
u xx = u *x*x* x*x = u *x*x*
u xxx = u x∗*x*x* x*x = u x∗*x*x*
Using the above relations, equation ut + 6uu x + u xxx = 0 is transformed to its original form:
ut* + 6u *u *x * + u *x * x * x * = 0
