Tagore Vidhya Pith HS School Tagore Vidhya Pith H. S. School Study Material:- 2020–21 Class:-11th Subject:- Physics . Chapter:- 1 Introduction Answer the following questions- Q1) What do you mean by Science? Ans- Science → The word „science‟ has been derived from the Latin verb „scientia‟ which means „to know‟. This knowledge gained by men through systematic and organized observation and experiments, is called science. For the convenience science is divided in two main branches : 1) Physical science → The branch of science which includes the study of subjects like physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, astronomy etc. is called physical science. 2) Biological science → The branch of science which includes the study of subjects like Botany, zoology etc. is called biological science. Q2) What is Physics? Ans- Physics → Physics is a branch of science which deals with the study of basic laws of nature and natural phenomena. OR “The branch of science in which the properties of matter, energy and their interactions are studied.” Q3) What is Matter? Ans- Matter → It is something that has a mass, occupies space and can be felt with our sense organs. For example : Iron, air, wood etc. Matter is of three types : 1) Solids, 2) Liquids and 3) Gases. 1) Solids → These are the substances which possess finite shape and volume both. 2) Liquids → These substances have definite volume but there shape is not finite. 3) Gases → These substances do not have definite shape and definite volume. Q4) What are the branches of physics? Ans- Physics has been classified into two categories : 1) Classical physics and 2) Modern physics. 1) Classical physics → The physics developed before 1900 on the basis of systematic and organized knowledge is called classical physics. The branches of classical physics are : (i) Mechanics → It is the oldest branch of physics. It includes the study of stationary and slow moving (speed less than the speed of light) bodies. (ii) Thermodynamics → This branch of physics is related with the concept of heat and temperature. (iii) Optics → This branch of physics includes the study of light energy and phenomena related with light. www.tagorevidhyapith.com Tagore Vidhya Pith H. S. School (iv) Electromagnetism → This branch of physics deals with the study of electricity, magnetism and electromagnetic radiations. 2) Modern physics → The physics developed after 1900 is called modern physics. It includes the study of fundamental particles, atom, nucleus, condensed matter, theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Following are the main branches of modern physics : (i) Theory of relativity → It deals with the study of motion of particles moving with speeds of the order of speed of light. Albert Einstein formulated the special theory of relativity. (ii) Quantum mechanics → It includes the study of sub-microscopic particles, principles of modern physics, Light and dual nature of light. (iii) Atomic physics → It includes the study of atomic structure and characteristics of atom. (iv) Nuclear physics → It deals with the study of structure and characteristics of nucleus of atom. (v) Solid state physics → This branch deals with the study of crystalline substances, characteristics and uses of semiconductors and alloys. (vi) Electronics → It deals with the study of devices based on the properties of electron and applications of these devices. Q5) What are the nature of physical laws? Ans- Scientific Attitude → The philosophy developed on the basis of logics and experimental facts is called scientific attitude. Hypothesis → The working laws initially formulated but have not finally verified and are used to explain the observations or experimental results are called hypothesis. Scientific law → The general statements which tells about the behaviour of nature are called scientific laws. Theory → Hypothesis developed on the basis of some known laws to explain the behaviour of physical systems is called „theory‟. Q6) Explain forces in nature. Ans- Forces in Nature → Force is an external agent which produces a change or tends to produce a change in the state of rest, state of motion or shape and size of a body. Following are the four fundamental forces that exist in nature : 1) Gravitational force 2) Electromagnetic force 3) Strong nuclear force 4) Weak nuclear force 1) Gravitational force → The force acting between different bodies in the universe is called gravitational force. Characteristics : (i) This force obeys the inverse square law. (According to inverse square law force acting between two bodies varies inversely with the square of distance between them). (ii) Gravitational force is always attractive. (iii) It is a long range force. It exists up to infinite distance. Thus, it is a long range force. (iv) It is the weakest force. It plays important role at macroscopic level. www.tagorevidhyapith.com Tagore Vidhya Pith H. S. School 2) Electromagnetic force → The force between two charged bodies is called electrostatic force and the force between two magnets is called magnetic force. Characteristics : (i) It obeys inverse square law. (ii) This force may be attractive or repulsive. 36 (iii) Electrostatic force between two protons placed certain distance is 10 times stronger than the gravitational force between two proton lying at same distance. 3) Strong Nuclear forces → Strong nuclear force is that which keeps the nucleus inside the nucleus. Characteristics : (i) It does not obey the inverse square law. (ii) This force is an attractive force. -15 (iii) It is a short range force (of the order of 10 m). 38 (iv) This force is 100 times stronger than the electromagnetic force and 10 times stronger than the gravitational force. 4) Weak Nuclear forces → It is that force which acts between the fundamental particles, emitted during the radioactive decay of elements/materials. Characteristics : (i) Weak nuclear force is stronger than the gravitational force but very weak than the electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces. (ii) It is a short range force (of the order of 10-16 m). Q7) Write some technological innovations and the relevant physical principles. Ans- In the table below are given some of the technological innovations and the relevant physical principles : Technological innovation Principle 1. Electric generator 1. Faraday‟s laws of electromagnetic induction. 2. Computer 2. Digital logic of electronic circuits. 3. Genetic Engineering 3. Role of DNA in genetics. 4. Aeroplane 4.

Such quantities are called thermodynamic coordinates, variables or parameters. - Equilibrium: state of a macroscopic system in which all average properties do not change with time. (System is not driven by external driving force.) Why Study Thermodynamics ? - Thermodynamics predicts that the average macroscopic properties of a system in equilibrium are not independent from each other. Therefore, if we measure a subset of these properties, we can calculate the rest of them using thermodynamic relations. - Thermodynamics not only gives the exact description of the state of equilibrium but also provides an approximate description (to a very high degree of precision!) of relatively slow processes.

  • Statistical Thermodynamics - Fall 2009
    1 Statistical Thermodynamics - Fall 2009 Professor Dmitry Garanin Thermodynamics September 9, 2012 I. PREFACE The course of Statistical Thermodynamics consist of two parts: Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics. These both branches of physics deal with systems of a large number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) at equilibrium. 3 19 One cm of an ideal gas under normal conditions contains NL =2.69 10 atoms, the so-called Loschmidt number. Although one may describe the motion of the atoms with the help of× Newton’s equations, direct solution of such a large number of differential equations is impossible. On the other hand, one does not need the too detailed information about the motion of the individual particles, the microscopic behavior of the system. One is rather interested in the macroscopic quantities, such as the pressure P . Pressure in gases is due to the bombardment of the walls of the container by the flying atoms of the contained gas. It does not exist if there are only a few gas molecules. Macroscopic quantities such as pressure arise only in systems of a large number of particles. Both thermodynamics and statistical physics study macroscopic quantities and relations between them. Some macroscopics quantities, such as temperature and entropy, are non-mechanical. Equilibruim, or thermodynamic equilibrium, is the state of the system that is achieved after some time after time-dependent forces acting on the system have been switched off. One can say that the system approaches the equilibrium, if undisturbed. Again, thermodynamic equilibrium arises solely in macroscopic systems. There is no thermodynamic equilibrium in a system of a few particles that are moving according to the Newton’s law.

  • PHYSICS Is the Study of Energy and Consists of Five Main Branches Each Studies a Different Form of Energy
    S R E W S N A PHYSICS is the study of energy and consists of five main branches each studies a different form of energy: . Mechanics (The study of forces or work; work is a form of energy) . Thermodynamics (The study of heat; heat is a form of energy) . Acoustics (The study of sound; sound is a form of energy) . Optics (The study of light; light is a form of energy) . Electricity and magnetism (Both are forms of energy) Just as there are different forms of money (the nickel, the dime, the quarter, the "five-dollar" bill, the check, etc.), there are different forms of energy (heat, sound, light, electricity, etc.). Each different form is a different branch of physics. And, just as one form of money can be converted into a different form of money, likewise one form of energy can be converted into a different form of energy. Even matter is just a form of energy (E = mc2). The device used to convert one form of energy into another form of energy is called a TRANSDUCER. Some popular transducers include: . The light bulb (which converts electrical energy into light energy) . The electric motor (which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy) . The electric heater (which converts electrical energy into heat energy) . The generator (which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy) . The speaker (which converts electrical energy into sound energy) . The microphone (which converts sound energy into electrical energy) . The photocell (which converts light energy into electrical energy) The efficiency of a transducer tells us how well it converts one type of energy into another type of energy.

  • History of History of Physics
    Acta Baltica Historiae Historyet Philosophiae of History Scientiarum of Physics Vol. 4, No. 2 (Autumn 2016) DOI : 10.11590/abhps.2016.2.01 History of History of Physics Stanislav Južnič Dunajska 83, Ljubljana 1000, Slovenia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The twelve decades of modern academic history of physics have provided enough material for the study of the history of history of physics, the focus of which is the development of the opinions and methods of historians of physics. The achievements of historians of physics are compared with the achievements of their objects of research, the physicists. Some correlations are expected. The group of historians-researchers and the group of their objects interacted. In several cases, the same person started out as a researcher and later moved on to the field of researcher of research achievements. There are also some competence-related quarrels between the two groups, the historians and the physicists. The new science called history of history of physics could be useful in a special case study of Jesuits. Jesuit professors formed a special group of physicists and historians studying the physicists, who were very influential in their time. Jesuits, except the very best of them such as Rudjer Bošković, Athanasius Kircher, or Christopher Clavius, were later omitted from historical surveys by their Enlightenment opponents. In the second half of the 19th century, Jesuit historians produced a considerable amount of useful biographies and bibliographies of their fellows. This makes them an interesting research subject for the history of history of physics as one of the best researched scientific-oriented networks worldwide, especially the Jesuits who were active in China.

In this context, one question has been, for the most part, overlooked: how should energy be defined throughout schooling. This paper addresses this question in three steps. We first identify and discuss two main approaches in physics concerning the definition of energy, one claiming there is no satisfactory definition and taking conservation as a fundamental property, the other based on Rankine’s definition of energy as the capacity of a system to produce changes.

  • Exploration of the Quantum Casimir Effect
    STUDENT JOURNAL OF PHYSICS Exploration of the Quantum Casimir Effect A. Torode1∗∗ 1Department of Physics And Astronomy, 4th year undergraduate (senior), Michigan State University, East Lansing MI, 48823. Abstract. Named after the Dutch Physicist Hendrik Casimir, The Casimir effect is a physical force that arises from fluctuations in electromagnetic field and explained by quantum field theory. The typical example of this is an apparent attraction created between two very closely placed parallel plates within a vacuum. Due to the nature of the vacuum’s quantized field having to do with virtual particles, a force becomes present in the system. This effect creates ideas and explanations for subjects such as zero-point energy and relativistic Van der Waals forces. In this paper I will explore the Casimir effect and some of the astonishing mathematical results that originally come about from quantum field theory that explain it along side an approach that does not reference the zero-point energy from quantum field theory. Keywords: Casimir effect, zero point energy, vacuum fluctuations. 1. INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY The Casimir effect is a small attractive force caused by quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in vacuum (Figure 1). In 1948 the Dutch physicist Hendrick Casimir published a paper predict- ing this effect [1, 2]. According to Quantum field theory, a vacuum contains particles (photons), the numbers of which are in a continuous state of fluctuation and can be thought of as popping in and out of existence [3]. These particles can cause a force of attraction. Most generally, the quantum Casimir effect is thought about in regards to two closely parallel plates.
