ELASTICITY AND OSCILLATION

 Hooke’s law states that the strain of the material is proportional to the applied stress within
the elastic limit of that material.
Example Problem:
Calculate the force needed to compress a spring, if the displacement of a spring is 20 cm. (Take
the value of spring constant, k = 150 N/m)

Given:
Formula: Solution:
Displacement of a spring, x = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Fs = – k x F=kx
Spring constant, k = 150 N/m
F = (150 × 0.2)
F=?
F = 30 N

Justification:
Hooke's Law explains the change in the length of the spring due to the application of a
certain amount of Force ‘F’.
Hooke's Law formula: F
S = - kx
The above formula from Hooke’s Law is also recognized as the spring constant formula.
Here, Fs = spring Force
k = spring constant
x = spring stretch or compression
Using the equation of Hooke’s law,
Fs = – k x
Here, we only require the force needed to compress a spring. So, the (-ve) sign can be neglected.
F=kx
F = (150 × 0.2)
F = 30 N
Therefore, the force needed to compress a spring is 30 N.

WAVES AND OPTICS
 Wave optics also called Physical optics deals with the study of various phenomena such
as polarization, diffraction, interference and other occurrences where ray approximation of
geometric optics cannot be done.
Example Problem:
Electrons are ejected from a metallic surface with speeds ranging up to 4.60 × 105 m/s when
light with a wavelength of 625 nm is used.
(a) What is the work function of the surface?
(b) What is the cutoff frequency for this surface?
Solution:

It was considered that each packet of light energy or photons carried energy hv where h was
a proportionality constant known as the Planck constant and v was the frequency of the
electromagnetic waves of light. Kmax is the maximum amount of kinetic energy delivered to
the atoms before they leave their atomic bonding. To explain threshold frequency, we can
write the equation for the photoelectric effect as:
Kmax = hv – W
Here W is the work function of the metal. It is the minimum energy that needs to be
supplied to the metal body for the emission of photoelectrons. Now W can be written as:
W= hvo
Here vo is the photoelectric threshold frequency of the electromagnetic rays.

ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM

 Electricity and magnetism are separate yet interconnected phenomena associated with
electromagnetic force. Together, they form the basis for electromagnetism, a key physics
discipline. In an electromagnetic wave, the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to
one another.
Example Problem:
The plane of a 400-turn square coil of side length 40cm
makes an angle of 60∘ with a uniform magnetic field. The magnitude 8ofT the magnetic field
s
changes with time as while its direction is held fixed. What is the magnitude of the induced
emf in the coil?

Justification:
The magnitude of the induced emf (voltage) is given by Faraday's law equation as

Here, of three factors involving in the

magnetic flux formula only the magnetic
field's magnitude BB is changing with time so by inserting it into the above formula.
This is the induced emf in a single turn of a N-turn coil.
