Moment of Inertia Sphere


The moment of inertia of a point mass about a known axis is defined by I = mr2  where m is its mass and r is its perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation.

Introduction :

Definition :  The moment of inertia of a rigid body about an axis is defined as the sum of the products of the masses of different particles, supposed to be constituting the body, and the square of their respective perpendicular distances from the axis of rotation.
                     Moment of inertia of a sphere can be explained in two parts (1) Solid Sphere (2)Hollow Sphere.
(1) Moment of inertia of a Solid Sphere  :  
    (a) About an axis passing through its diameter :   Consider a solid sphere of mass M and radius R. Its moment of inertia about an axis of rotation passing through its diameter is
                                                                            I  =  MR2
   (b) About an axis passing through its tangent  :   Let A'B' the tangent to the solid sphere. A parallel axis through its centre of mass is AB

By parallel axes theorem,
 Moment of inertia about the tangent = Moment of inertia about a diameter + Mr2 .
                                                                  =`(2)/(5)` MR2 + MR2
                                                         I      =  `(7)/(5)` MR2 .

Moment of Inertia Sphere : Hollow Sphere


(2) Moment of Inertia of a Hollow Sphere
(a) Moment of inertia about an axis passing through the diameter of a hollow sphere of mass M and radius R is
                                                I  =`(2)/(3)`   MR2
(b)  Moment of inertia about an axis passing through its tangent can be obtained by applying parallel axes theorem. It is given by
                                                  I  =  `(5)/(3)` MR2 .

Moment of Inertia Sphere : Example Problem

Problem : If the radius of the earth is suddenly halved keeping its mass constant, find its time period of rotation around its own axis.
Solution :  When the radius of the earth gets reduced suddenly keeping its mass constant, the angular momentum of the earth remains constant.      
                                                I   = constant
     If I changes from I1 to I2 ,   changes from`omega` 1  to`omega`  2 so that 
                                          I1 `omega`1  =  I2`omega`2 .
     Assuming the earth to be a solid sphere, its moment of inertia about its diameter,
                      I  =  MR2
   If the radius changes form R to R/n
                                           `(2)/(5)` MR12 `omega`1  =  `(2)/(5)` MR22 `omega`2 
                                                           R2  =  `(2pi)/(24 hours)`  = [R / n]2 `(2pi)/(T)`  
          The time period of rotation , T = 24 hours / n2 .
      In this problem, the radius changes from  R  to R / 2 .
                         `:.`   `(2)/(5)` MR2  `(2pi)/(24 hours)`   =  `(2)/(5)` M [R/2]2 `(2pi)/(T)`
                               T  =  24 / 22   =  24 / 4  =  6 hours.

  • These metals form divalent compounds, etc.

Facts Related to Alkaline Earth Metals

There are various facts related to Alkaline earth metals, some of the important ones are as follows:
  • The name alkaline metals owes to their oxides that simply give basic alkaline solutions. These metals melt at high temperature and remain solids in heated atmospheres.
  • The alkaline metals show good trend in their properties in the periodic table, with well-defined homologous behavior in going down the group.
  • Some alkaline metals like Be and Mg, they show a distinguishable flame color , brick-red for Ca (Calcium) , Magenta-Red for Sr (Strontium) , Green for Ba (Barium) and crimson red for Ra (radium).
  • The metals coming in this group show patterns in their electronic configuration, especially the behavior of them in their outermost shells, which results in the trend in chemical behavior.
  • The alkaline metals are mostly Silver colored, soft metals, which react readily reactions with halogens.
  • Alkaline Metal like Beryllium is highly toxic, it is rarely available to biological systems, and it has no known role in living organisms.
  • Other Alkaline metal like Magnesium and calcium are essential to all known living things. They are involved in many roles like in some cellular processes, Mg functions as the active centre of the enzymes and Ca salts takes structural roles.
  • Strontium and barium have lower availably in the atmosphere. They play very important roles in marine aquatic life, especially hard corals. These two are also used in medicines. Strontium is used to build the exoskeleton.
  • The last metal that is Radium has a low availability and is very highly radioactive.

Conclusion

Alkaline earth metals are of very keen importance to us. These metals are highly important for the automobile industries due to their structure qualities. These metals are of great concern, as they are also included in building machines and other important equipment.

Properties of Transverse Waves


Introduction 

A transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave. They travel in a straight line and carry energy and momentum through medium particles from one point to another.
If on propagation of a mechanical wave through a medium, the medium particles oscillate along a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wave is called a transverse wave.”  In other words, if wave travels in x- direction, medium particles vibrate up or down or along y- direction. For example, when one end of a horizontal rope is tied to a hook and the other end is moved up and down, a transverse wave travel horizontally while particles of rope vibrate up and down.
There are several examples of transverse waves in everyday life.               
Vibrations in string, surface water waves, electromagnetic waves, seismic S (secondary) waves, audience wave.

Properties of Transverse Waves

A transverse wave has all properties of mechanical waves.
  1. Amplitude- The maximum vertical displacement of the medium particles on either side of its equilibrium position is called the amplitude. It is denoted by ‘a’.
  2. Time period- The time taken by medium particle in completing one oscillation is called as the time period of wave.it is denoted by ‘T’.
  3. Frequency- The number of oscillations made by a medium particle in 1 second is called as frequency of wave. It is denoted by ‘f’.
  4. Phase- The phase of the wave at any instant denotes the position and direction of motion of medium particle at that instant.
  5. Wavelength- The distance travelled by the wave in one complete oscillation
is called as wavelength of wave. It is denoted by ‘λ’.

Properties of Transverse Waves : Speed

Wave speed- The distance travelled by the wave in one second is called as ‘wave speed’. It is denoted by ‘v’.
Transverse waves can be formed only in solids because solids have rigidity.
(i)                Speed of transverse wave is given by the following formula-
                              V =√ (η / d)
Where, η is modulus of rigidity of material and d is the density.
(ii)              Speed of transverse waves in flexible stretched string is given by following formula-
                              V = √ (T / m)
 Where T is the tension in the string and m is the mass per unit length of string.

Longitudinal Waves Compression


Introduction:      

When a stone is dropped into water in a pond. waves are produced at the point where the stone strikes and water. The waves (ripples) travel outward and particles of the water vibrate up and down about their mean positions. This can be clearly seen when the leaves floating on the surface of the pond move up and down as the ripples pass on. They do not travel along the wave. Similarly, when a tuning fork is set into vibrations, waves are produced in the surrounding air making the particles of the air oscillate about their mean positions. Hence a wave motion can be defined as a form of disturbance which travels through the medium due to repeated periodic motion of the particles of the medium about their mean positions, the disturbance being handed over from one particle to the next. in the process the energy and momentum of the particles is successively transmitted through the medium in the wave form known as a progressive wave or a travelling wave. Such a wave travels with a constant speed in the medium.

Longitudinal Waves Compression

The direction of propagation of waves relative to the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium classifies them into two types, namely  longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

Longitudinal waves :
 If the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation of the waves, the waves are called 'Longitudinal waves'. The propagation of longitudinal waves can be demonstrated as shown in the figure below. 

Longitudinal Waves Compression : Simulation

Let a light spring held horizontally be given a push in the same direction. The spring gets compressed sending a pulse of pressure along the spring. Soon this compression tends to release the pressure in the region by pushing the neighbouring (particles) layers of the spring. This is known as rarefaction. Thus the compressions transmitted horizontally along the length of the spring .If the pushing at the end of the spring is repeated at regular intervals of time a periodic longitudinal progressive wave takes place along the length of the spring.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel in solids, liquids and in gases as well.

Electromagnetic Spectrum Animation

Introduction:
The waves do not require medium for their propagation are called electromagnetic waves. These waves propagate in vacuum with speed of light c=3`xx` 10-7m/s and on account of being chargeless they are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. These electromagnetic spectrum is done in an animation.

Newton obtained the spectrum of sun and observed that all colours from red to violet exist continuously in the sun’s spectrum. The wavelength of violet colour is 4.0`xx` 10-7m and the wavelength of red colour is 7.8`xx`10-7m.

Electromagnetic Spectrum Animation

Visible spectrum in electromagnetic spectrum animation:

The region of spectrum from the wavelength 4.0`xx` 10-7m to 7.8`xx`10-7m is called visible spectrum, because all colours between this wavelength range are visible.

Infrared spectrum in electromagnetic animation:
The region of spectrum below violet is called ultraviolet spectrum while that above red is called infrared spectrum. The ultraviolet and infrared radiations are invisible.

According to the wavelength range, the whole electromagnetic spectrum animation is divided from very short gamma rays to long radiowaves.
