5 Geometrical shapes: Areas: Volumes: - Square L x b = side 2 - Cube L x b x h = side 3 - Rectangle L x b - Cuboid L x b x h - Circle r 2 - Cylinder r 2 h - Sphere 4 r 2 - Sphere 4 3 r 3 - Triangle 1 2 B x h - Prism 1 2 B x h x L The Greek alphabet Alpha Beta Gamma Delta Epsilon Zeta Eta Theta Iota Kappa Lambda Mu Nu Xi Omicron Pi Rho Sigma Tau Upsilon Phi Chi Psi Omega Graph: - is a relation between two variables where one is expressed on the ( X ) axis (abscissa ) while the other on the ( Y ) axis ( ordinate ). - Once the co-ordinates are located & connected we get a slope. Y Y Y tan X X X The value of the Slope 2 1. Y - If the slope is a straight line then its value is constant, Δ Y while if it is not then it represents a variable quantity. ΔX θ X - The value of the slope increases when ( ) increases. - The scale of the X axis is independent of that of the Y axis. ~ 4 ~

6 - How to make a scale? A scale is a value chosen to be represented on the squares of the graph paper & corresponds to a specific value for each variable, keeping the value of each square constant. Ex: ( ) ( Scale of 1 : 10 ) - If the numbers representing the variables in the table contain decimals as ( ), then 1. If the difference between each 2 successive values is constant including ( 0 ), this constant can be used as a scale. 2. The numbers may be all multiplied or divided by the same power 10 in order to remove the point & make the numbers simpler. ( X 10 ) 3. This may also make some decimals useless & turn the values easier to be drawn ( x 10 ) this makes the third number after the point useless if a scale of ( 1 ) is used for each square. 4. To choose the right scale the maximum number needed according to the table must be divide by the number of squares in the paper thus to be sure that the paper will suit the graph. Ex: A maximum of 400 : a scale of 20 = 20 squares. If the paper doesn t carry them then we have to increase the scale. ~ 5 ~

8 UNIT ( 1 ) CHAPTER ( 1 ) WAVE MOTION * The wave: Is a disturbance that propagates through a medium transferring energy in the direction of its propagation. - May travel in straight lines in all directions forming concentric spheres around its source. Ex: When a stone is dropped in calm water energy is transferred through the water particles in all directions around the stone forming concentric circles ( wave ) Types Mechanical Electromagnetic - Is a disturbance that propagates - Is a wave which needs no media, but through a medium. can propagate through space. - May be transverse or longitudinal - Are all transverse. - Water waves - Light waves - Sound waves - Radio waves, x ray and gamma ray. * Mechanical waves: - Disturbance that propagate through a medium transferring energy in the direction of its propagation. -Conditions to produce mechanical waves: 1- Source of disturbance or vibrator as a simple pendulum, tuning fork, stretched wire or a bob held in a spiral spring. 2- Kind of disturbance able to be transferred to the medium. 3- Kind of medium that carries the disturbance. 2A A A ~ 7 ~

T 2. Amplitude (A) d - Maximum displacement for a vibrating body. A T t(sec) - Distance between two points where the velocity is maximum at one and 0 at the other. 3. Complete vibration (wave form) (λ) - Motion performed by a vibrating body to pass through a fixed point two successive times in the same direction. N.B: During a complete vibration the body covers 4 A. EX: During a complete vibration, a body covers 20 cm then it s A = 4.

Distance (d): - Is the distance covered by the wave in a certain direction. d number of waves. 7. Velocity ( V ): - Is the distance covered by the wave per unit time ( Sec.) d V m( cm) t s ~ 8 ~

10 - A mechanical wave is a disturbance that propagates through a medium, this takes place by transferring the disturbance of the source to the medium particle which vibrate similarly and transfer the motion to the next particles in contact and so on. - This results in that the disturbance (vibration) travels in the medium as wave motion in all directions as concentric spheres ( circles for water waves). N.B: - A wave always begins with a crest, the first crest emitted (in the series) is called the wave front and constitutes the outer sphere. * Remember: 1.What is meant by : 1.

Or Let a mass (M) attached to a vertical spring & a horizontal rope move vertically in a harmonic motion & observe the wave flowing through the rope Crest: Is the point having the maximum displacement in the positive direction. Trough: Is the point having the maximum displacement in the negative direction. Transverse wave: Is the wave where the medium particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Consists of successive crests and troughs. ~ 10 ~

12 2- Longitudinal wave:(demonstration) - Catch one end of a spring suspended horizontally. - Vibrate your hand, as it moves to the right, the turns of the spring are brought close. This is called Compression. - As it moves left the turns of the spring move further apart, this is called Rarefaction. Or use a mass (M) moving on a smooth surface Freely between two springs as in the fig. *Compression: is the position where the particles of the medium get closer from each other than their normal positions. * Rarefaction : is the position where the particles of the medium get far apart from each other than their normal positions. * Longitudinal wave : Is the wave in which the medium particles vibrate along the direction (parallel to) the wave propagation. - Consists of successive compression and rarefaction. N.B:- Sound waves are transferred in air as longitudinal waves. ~ 11 ~

Ex: Water waves. Ex: Sound waves. N.B:- Transverse waves are more common in liquids and solids than in gases since they need a strong intermolecular attraction force between the molecules to occur while that of gases is weaker than the minimum force needed. - In solids both longitudinal and transverse waves may travel but longitudinal waves are faster because of the intermolecular attraction forces which are strong and spaces are nearly absent and longitudinal waves vibrate the particles along the wave propagation direction. Relation between Frequency, wave length and wave velocity: Wave length ():- Is the distance between 2 successive Crests or troughs. - Is the distance between the centers of 2 successive compressions or rarefactions. - Both A and C or B and D are moving in the same direction with the same velocity at the same time. * They are said to be in Phase. ~ 12 ~

14 Wave length: Is the distance between any 2 successive points having the same phase. Frequency: Is the number of complete vibrations per second. Wave velocity: Is the distance covered by the wave per unit time. -Relation between the time (t) or the periodic time (T) and the wavelength of a wave. * Wave propagation law: -If (x) is the distance covered by the wave in a time(t). Therefore and If Therefore X V t X V X t t T where T 1 T Therefore V ( Wave propagation law) Wave velocity = Frequency x wave length. N.B : - As the same kind of wave keeps its velocity constant in the same medium 1 then for two waves of the same kind travelling in the same medium. where υ υ V λ 1 ~ 13 ~

Always answer with...cm is the wavelength of a... wave. 2. Find the wavelength as d. num. of waves 3.If the two points are similar the number of waves = the difference between their numbers. ( ex: the distance between the 1 st and the 5 th crests, means 5-1=4 waves) 4. If the distance is between the beginning of the 2 nd wave and the end of the 4 th, modify the last to be the beginning of the 5 th and follow the previous rule. 5. If the distance is between the 1 st crest (compression) and the 4 th trough (rarefaction), the number of waves is found as: ((4-1) + ½ ), and if it is between The 2 nd trough and the 4 th crest, the number of waves is found as: ((4-2) ½ ) * Remember: 1.What is meant by : 1. The wavelength of a transverse wave is 1 cm. - 1 cm is the distance between 2 successive The distance between the first and the third crests of a wave is 4 cm is the wavelength of... wave. 3. The distance between a crest and the next trough in a wave is 1 cm is the wavelength of... wave. 4.

Bec. sound waves are mechanical longitudinal waves which are transmitted by vibrating the particles of the medium. 2. A light wave doesn t require a material medium to travel. Bec. light waves are electromagnetic waves which can travel through space. 3. Sound wave is a longitudinal wave. Bec. the vibrations of the medium particles are parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. 4. Astronauts use radio transmitters to communicate. Bec. sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves which require a material medium to travel through & can't travel through vacuum. ~ 15 ~

17 5. Transverse waves are more common in liquids & solids than in gases. Bec. to be transmitted the transverse waves require a minimum intermolecular attractive force between the molecules, higher than the one found in gases. 6. Longitudinal waves are faster in solids than liquids and gases. Bec. The intermolecular spaces in solids are narrower than liquids and gases. * Solved examples: 1.

34 - Light is a form of energy essential for life. CHAPTER ( 2 ) LIGHT AS A WAVE MOTION - Light travels as waves in all directions in straight lines. - Light has the general properties of waves, travels at a speed c = 3 x 10 8 m/s in space and constitutes the visible part of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves. - An electromagnetic wave consists of an electric field perpendicular to a magnetic field and both are perpendicular to the wave propagation direction. Light reflection & refraction: - Let a light ray fall on a glass block. - A part of the light is reflected & apart is refracted depending on the difference in the optical densities of the two media (ability to allow light to pass) ( as optical density increases less light penetrates) - Measure both angles of incidence and reflection. - The angle of incidence (φ) is equal to the angle of reflection (φ). ( 1 st law of reflection). - The incident ray, reflected ray and the normal are all on the same plane perpendicular to the reflecting surface. ( 2 nd law of reflection). - Measure both, the angle of incidence & that of refraction. - Repeat the experiment and re-measure the new angles. Sin Φ - Find the ratio sin V1 const. 1n2 sin V 1n 2 2-1n 2 is a constant called the refractive index between the 2 media. - Incident ray, refracted ray and the normal are all on the same plane perpendicular to the interface separating the 2 media.

N.B: The light velocity in a denser medium is less than in a less dense one as V 1 -Less dense to denser VV 1 2 Denser to less dense V V refract closer to the norm. 2 refracts away from the norm. - The velocity of light in space is constant, equal to 3x10 8 m/s and is denoted by C. and is approximately equal to its velocity in air and is greater than its velocity in any other medium. - If the velocity of light in any other medium is denoted by ( V ). c Therefore the refractive index of light passing from space to another medium is 1n2 V This is called the absolute refractive index of the medium (n). c light velocity in space ( air ) n V light velocity in a medium c N.

39 Light interference: Double slits experiment: Thomas young: - A source of monochromatic light sends cylindrical waves through a slit, sending the waves to a screen with 2 narrow slits S 1 and S 2. - These slits lying on the same wave front act as 2 sources in phase (emitting waves of the same frequency and amplitude.) - These sources are coherent which send similar cylindrical waves on a third screen. - An interference of wave patterns is observed as illuminated and dark regions called interference fringes since waves are superposed. - If : is the wavelength of monochromatic light R : is the distance between the slits and the third screen d : is the distance between the 2 slits - y distance between 2 successive similar fringes is calculated as: N.B: The experiment can be used to: - Prove the interference of light.

Both waves reinforce each other Both waves weaken each other The path difference = m λ The path difference = ( m + ½ ) λ N.B: for a path difference = 10 m when λ = 0.5 m ( interference is constructive as the number of waves = 10/0.5 = 20 λ.) ( integer). Light diffraction: - When light passes through a circular opening and is obtained on a screen, a circular spot is obtained. - This spot is found to have bright and dark fringes encircling it forming (the Airy s disc). This is due to that light diffracts when passing through the circular opening where each point acts as a light source which sends secondary waves which interfere. N.B: diffraction increases as the opening becomes narrower and is obvious when the wavelength is very long compared with the size of the hole and as light wavelengths are very short, this makes it difficult to observe light diffraction in our daily life. - From all the previous, light has the general properties of the waves, so light is a wave motion. ~ 39 ~

41 Refraction is the bending of a ray while passing from a medium to another one different in density Takes place in two different media The wave changes its velocity & wavelength. Diffraction is the change in the path of wave while passing through a narrow hole or a sharp edge Takes place in the same medium The wave doesn't change neither its velocity nor its wavelength. * Remember: 1.What is meant by: 1. The ability of a medium to refract light. 2. The bouncing of an incident ray back from a reflecting surface. 3. The bending of ray while passing from a medium to another one different in density. 4.

Bec. the distance between two successive fringes Δ Y is inversely proportional to the distance between the two slits ( d ) as more clear. R Y so as d decrease interference becomes d 4. The intermediate fringe in Young's experiment is always a bright one. Bec. the paths of the waves emitted by both slits are equal in that case & the path difference between them = 0, so interference is always constructive. ~ 41 ~

44 * Critical angle and total internal reflection: - Light passing from a more dense medium to a less dense one refracts away from the normal. - As the angle of incidence increases, the angle of refraction also increases. - When the angle of refraction = 90 and the refracted ray moves parallel ( grazing ) to the interface, the angle of incidence is known as Critical angle. Critical angle: Is the angle of incidence in the denser medium corresponding to an angle of refraction of 90 in the less dense medium. According to Snell s law: n 1 sin = n 2 sin n 1 sin c = n 2 sin 90 ( as θ = 90 ) n 1 sin c = n 2 n 1 is the refractive index of the denser medium. n 2 is the refractive index of the less dense medium. n n 2 1 sinc sin 90 o sin If the less dense medium is air Then n 2 = 1 and n sin c = 1 Where critical angle] c 1 n [Helps to find the refractive index of a medium of known sin C N.B: - If the angle of incidence () in the denser medium exceeds the critical angle between two media ( c ), light suffers a total internal reflection at the interface and doesn t pass to the less dense medium. ~ 43 ~

45 Conc.: 1. A ray falling from a less dense to a denser medium refracts always towards the normal. 2. If the ray is coming from the denser medium to the less dense medium. - The Φ C between the two media must be calculated to be able to identify the path of the ray.

( angle of incidence = angle of reflection ) * Conditions to get total internal reflection: 1. Light falls from the denser to the less dense medium. 2. Angle of incidence > critical angle between the two media.(φ > Φ C) Applications on total internal reflection: 1- Optical fibers: - Are thin hollow transparent fibrous tubes in which light when penetrating suffers successive reflections since > c till emerging from the other end. - Bundles of these tubes are used in medical treatments and examinations using endoscopes and in communications as light can carry electrical signals in fiber-optic cables. ~ 44 ~

46 2- Totally reflecting prism: - Is an isosceles glass prism of angles 45, 45 and > c since c between air and glass is about Is used in some equipments to change the light direction by 90 or even by 180 as in the periscope used in submarines or in the binoculars. - It is preferable than plane mirrors because: 1- The reflection efficiency is 100% while the mirror may absorb some rays. 2- Mirror may lose its metallic luster making reflection weaker while in case of the prism this doesn t happen, this is granted by covering the surface on which light has to be reflected by a coat of a substance whose refractive index is less than glass such as Cryolite (AlF 3 ) or (MgF 2 ) to grant the reflection of all rays even if some escape from the surface of the prism. 3- Mirage: - When the weather is hot at noon, the smooth asphalt of highways appear wet as well as in desert water may be observed. Explanation: - Air in contact with the ground is heated and becomes less dense (with a smaller refractive index) than the upper cold air layers. - Due to the gradual increase of density with height as well as for refractive indices. - Light reflected from the top of an object (Palm tree) suffers several refractions away from the normal gradually until its angle of incidence() exceeds the critical angle ( c ) where ~ 45 ~

47 it is reflected at the ground surface to the eye of the observer who sees the image of the object at the extension of the reflected ray. - The observer sees the palm tree as well as its inverted image. * Remember: 1. What is meant by: 1. The critical angle between glass and air is 42 o o is the angle of incidence is glass ( denser) corresponding to an angle of refraction of 90 o in air ( less dense ). 2.

Relative refractive index sin V 1 2 1n 2 sin V 2 where V 1 1 so if the wave comes from a less dense medium to a denser one V1 V2 then sin sin & vice versa. 2. Reflecting prisms are preferred than mirrors. Bec. the prism doesn t reduce the light intensity & doesn t lose its lustre. 3. Mirages are observed during hot summer at noon. Bec. the solar radiations heat the ground & so the air in contact gets hot, less dense than the upper layer, so light waves suffer several refractions away from the normal until φ exceeds φ c where they are reflected at the ground surface allowing the observer to see another image at their extensions. 4. Optical fibres are used in medicine. Bec. light penetrating through them suffers several reflections as it falls at φ > φ c due to their narrowness so it is able to penetrate through the other end and helps to examine internal body organs as stomach & intestines. ~ 46 ~

51 and since o = A Therefore o = 2 o - A o o 2 and since n 2 1n2 n1 sin sin Therefore n ( o ) sin 2 ( ) sin 2 for a prism in air or in general 1n2 n n prism medium ( o ) sin 2 ( ) sin 2 N.B: Triangular prism is used to study light deviation and dispersion. *Experiment to determine the path of the ray through the glass prism or to show the relation between the angles practically or to find the refractive index of the material of the prism: 1. Place an equilateral glass prism vertically on a cardboard. 2. Fix 2 pins ( a ) & ( b ) 10 cm apart & one of them is very close to one of the prism s face. The line joining them constitutes the incident ray. 3. From the other face observe the two pins & fix 2 other pins ( c ) & ( d ) along the same line with the previous pins. The line joining ( c ) & ( d ) constitutes the emergent ray. 4. Trace the limits of the prism & remove it, then trace the lines joining ( ab ) & ( cd ) and extend them until they meet to draw the angle of deviation ( α ) 5. Trace the normal to each face of the prism & measure the angles of incidence (φ 1) refraction ( θ 1 ) the second angle of incidence ( φ 2 ) & the angle of emergence (θ 2 ). 6. We find that: A 1 2 and 1 2 A ~ 50 ~

52 - To find the refractive index of the material of the prism: 7. Repeat the experiment several times while changing the angle of incidence & tabulate the results. Angle of the prism A Angle of incidence φ 1 Angle of refraction θ 1 Inner angle of incidence φ 2 Angle of emergence θ 2 Angle of deviation α 8. Find the minimum angle of deviation ( α o ) where ( 1 = 2 and 1 = 2 )and the corresponding angles (φ o ) & ( θ o ) then find the refractive index from the relation Glass block:- n sin ( 1 2 sin o ) 2 ( ) 2 - When a ray falls on one face of glass block it refracts towards the normal as it passes to the denser medium. 1 This ray falls on the other face of the block at a 1 angle of incidence ( 2 ), equal to the angle of refraction 2 ( 1 ) (alternate angles) and emerges at an angle of 2 emergence ( 2 )equal to the angle of incidence ( 1 ) as the refractive indices of air and the block are constants. - The glass block is considered to be made of two prisms made of the same material and having equal refractive angles so the deviation and dispersion of the first are counteracted by those of the second and the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray as the angle of incidence equal angle of emergence and angle of refraction equal second angle of incidence. ~ 51 ~

53 - Light dispersion through a triangular prism: - When light falls on a prism at the position of minimum deviation, the emergent light is observed to be split into the 7 colors of the spectrum arranged from upside down as: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Explanation: - Each color has a specific and so a specific n. - and since ( o ) sin n 2 ( ) sin 2 so n depends on A and o and A is constant for a certain prism. therefore the angle of minimum deviation o changes by changing the refractive index (n) which by its turn changes according to the wave length. Therefore it can be observed that the violet color with the shortest wavelength has the greatest deviation angle or maximum refractive index as well as the smallest critical angle and the red with the longest wavelength has the least angle of deviation and the minimum refractive index and the largest critical angle. * The thin prism: - A thin prism has a very small refractive angle A ( less than 10 o ) and is considered to be always in a state of minimum deviation where: o sin n 2 ( ) sin 2 o A A and since ( ) and ( ) in radian. 2 2 are very small angles and tend to zero when measured ~ 52 ~

The deviation angles of red and blue rays will be: o r = A ( n r - 1)... (1) where A refractive angle of prism o b = A (n b - 1)... (2) n r refractive index for red n b refractive index for blue. By subtracting (1) from (2): o b - o r = A (n b - n r )... (3) ( o b - o r ) is known as ( the angular size of the spectrum for yellow rays) or ( the angular dispersion for the yellow spectrum) -Angular size of yellow spectrum: is the difference between the angle of deviation of the blue color and that of the red color. ~ 53 ~

55 - Yellow rays are those found between red and blue colors and their angle of deviation is: o y = A ( n y - 1)... (4) Where n y is the refractive index of yellow rays considered to be - By dividing (3) by (4): Where ( o b o y o r ) n A( n b A ( n n y n r 1) ob or nb n b r r o y ny 1 nb nr {( ) 1 } 2 ( ) ob oy or independent of the angle of the prism ( A ). ) n y n b n 2 indicates the dispersion power denoted by () and is r Dispersion power: is the ratio between the angular size of the yellow spectrum & the angle of deviation of the yellow color. * Remember: 1. Give reasons:- 1. The triangular prism disperses the white light. Bec. white light consists of 7 colours, each of a specific wavelength & refractive index ( n ) so each is refracted in a different manner as n o A sin 2 A sin 2 is constant so α o depends on n & each colour deviates differently. & for the same prism A ~ 54 ~

56 2. A ray passing through a glass block is not dispersed. Bec. the glass block consists of 2 prisms made of the same material and are placed opposite to each other so one disperses the light & the other converges the rays as they both form an achromatic group of prisms. 3. Deviation of a prism doesn t only depend on the angle of incidence. Bec. although white light falls at the same angle of incidence, each colour emerges at a different position as deviation depends on λ which affects ( n ) of the prism material for each colour changing α as o A sin n 2. A sin 2 4. The violet colour has a deviation angle greater than that of red one. Bec. deviation depends on the refractive angle of the prism ( constant for the same prism ) & the refractive index of its material for each colour & n violet > n red since its λ is shorter and ( n α 1/λ ). 5. The thin prism is considered always at minimum deviation. Bec. all of its angles are very small, especially the angle of the prism and so the angle of deviation. 2. What is meant by:- 1. The deviation angle of a prism is 40 o o is the angle between the extension of the incident ray and the emergent one. 2. The angular dispersion of a prism is 8 o. - 8 o is the difference between the angle of deviation of the blue colour and that of the red colour. 3. The dispersive power of a prism is is the ratio between the angular size of the yellow spectrum & the angle of deviation of the yellow colour. ~ 55 ~

Density ( ) mass ( m) kg Volume ( Vol ) m 3 M L 3 ex: Al 2700 kg / m 3 Ag kg / m 3 Fe 7900 kg / m 3 Pb kg / m 3 Cu 8900 kg / m 3 Au kg / m 3 2. Specific gravity: ( Relative density ) ( Specific weight ) -Is the ratio between the density of the material & that of water at the same t o. -Is the ratio between a certain mass of the substance & the mass of an equal volume of water at the same temperature. m F subs tan ce subs tan ce g subs tan ce 0 0 rel at the same temperature. unitless M L of water m of anequalvol. of water F g of anequalvol. of water - It has no unit since it is a ratio. N.B : - Density is a characteristic for the material. - Density is inversely proportional to the temperature. - In mixtures and alloys : m t = m 1 + m 2 (ρ t vol t = ρ 1 vol 1 + ρ 2 vol 2 ). Applications on Density 1. Measuring the density of the electrolyte in the accumulator can be used to identify its state. As density decreases on discharging due to the conversion of H 2 SO 4 into PbSO 4 and re-increases on recharging. 2. The measurement of the blood s density may be used to identify some diseases such as Anemia where the blood density decreases due to the lack of RBCs. ( Normal density kg/m 3 ).Also some diseases may raise the concentration of urine density ( 1020 kg/m 3 ) due to the increase of the amount of salts. ~ 91 ~

F N P Pascal kg m s M L T A m ( 1 2 ) If the force is inclined by an angle (θ) to the perpendicular F F cos θ F cos θ P F sin θ A N.B : Pressure of an elephant s foot is less than that of a pointed healed shoe. Camel has broad pads. The edge of a knife is sharp. The needle is pointed. Pressure inside a fluid & how it is measured ( Hydraulic pressure ) The pressure acting on a point lying on the plane ( X ) of area ( A ) found at a depth ( h ) from the liquid surface is expressed as: weight of theliquid column above( X ) P Area ( A) P m g A vol g A Ah g g h A N J P g h Pascal kg m s M L T m m ( ) 2 3 For closed vessels. N.B:- The relation expresses the pressure exerted by the liquid only ( in a closed container ), but if the surface is exposed to the atmosphere it is then affected by the atmospheric pressure ( P a ) and the relation becomes: Pt Pa g h ( for opened vessels ) and is called absolute pressure. - The total pressure exerted on a point inside a static liquid is proportional to its depth ( h ) and the density (ρ) of the liquid regardless to the area ( A ) or the shape of the container. ~ 92 ~

94 - Pressure acts in all directions at a point inside a liquid. - Pressure is the same at all points lying on the same horizontal level. - The absolute pressure in case of many immiscible liquids placed 1 h 1 together in a container is calculated as : P t = P a + P 1 + P 2 + P 3 2 h 2 = P a + 1 g h g h g h 3 3 h 3 - The base of the dam s wall must be thicker than its top to be able to withstand the higher pressure to which it is exposed as P α h (depth). * Graphs used to show the relation between P & h in a liquid: 1.

P. = F A N m or P max = ρgh max.= = 10 4 N m 2 Min.P. = F A or P min = ρgh min.= = 2500 * Balance of liquids in a U shaped tube: N m 2 N m - Pour some H 2 O in the U tube, the level of H 2 O in both branches P a P a will be similar since pressure on both sides is equal to the P a. - Pour in one branch oil which is immiscible with water & consider two points (D) at the interface and (A) at the same level. - Oil reaches a height ( h oil ) above the point ( D ) while water reaches a height ( h w ) above the point ( A ). - P of the column AB = P of the column CD P a + w g h w = P a + oil g h oil w h w = oil h oil o hw. h w o rel oil - By measuring h w & h oil, the specific gravity of oil can be calculated. - The device can be used also to prove that for different liquids to obtain an equal pressure 1 h 2 ~ 94 ~

96 *Solved example:- 1- The cross sectional area of the narrow side of a U tube is 1 cm 2, while that of its wide side is 2 cm 2. The tube is partially filled with water of density 1000 kg/m 3, then a quantity of oil of density 800 kg/m 3 was poured in the narrow side until its height reached 5 cm. Calculate the height of water upon the separating level between oil & water. g h g h h h h h cm. 2-A U-shaped tube of cross sectional area 2 3 2cm has an amount of water. 9cm of kerosene has been poured in one side, so the height difference of water in the two sides is 3.6cm.

97 Atmospheric pressure: Is due to the weight of an air column of unit cross-sectional area and height equal to that of the atmosphere, can be measured using the Torricellian ( Hg )barometer. - Mercury barometer ( Torricelli ) - A glass tube, one m. long filled with Hg and inverted in a basin filled with mercury. - The mercury in the tube starts to fall down leaving h a space called ( Torricellian space where P = 0 ). - The atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure of the mercury column whose height is equal to the difference between the Hg levels in and out of the tube. - Consider two points ( A ) & ( B ) at the same level,one inside and the other outside the tube. - Since P A = P B = P a - Therefore P a = g h ( Hg ) + 0 ( vacuum ) - Since h = 0.76 m & Hg = kg /m 3. - Therefore P a = 0.76 x x 9.8 = x 10 5 N/m 2. or Pascal. N.B: 1 bar = 10 5 Pascal = 10 5 N/m 2. N/m 2 ( Pascal ) (P a )= 1Atm. 76 cm.hg bar mm.hg (Torr) P a = x 10 5 Pascal = x 10 5 N/m 2 = bar = 760 torr ( mm.hg ) = 76 cm.hg = 0.76 m.hg = 1 atm.(atmosphere). - If the tube is inclined the volume of the Torricellian space decreases while the height of the Hg column isn t changed as P α h only regardless to the shape and area of the tube. Standard atmospheric pressure: is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a Hg column of 1 m 2 in section and 0.76 m height at 0 o C at sea level. N.B :When dealing with Hg,pressure can be calculated as: P t = P a (in cm.hg) + h of a Hg column. ~ 96 ~

Find the total pressure & the total force acting upon the base of a tank containing salt water whose density is 1030 kg/m 3, if the cross sectional area of the tank is 1000 cm 2, the water height is 1m and its surface is exposed to air, g = 10 m/s 2 & P a = x 10 5 N/m 2. P = P a + g h = x x 10 x 1 = x 10 5 N/m 2 F = P x A = x 10 5 x 1000 x 10-4 = x 10 4 N. 2.

100 * Determination of the pressure of an enclosed gas: - Manometers: ( pressure gauge): - Devices used to measure the pressure difference ( P ) between that of an enclosed gas and P a. or to calculate the absolute pressure of an enclosed gas, when knowing P a. - The liquid used to separate both the gas and air in the U tube is Hg, in case of big pressure differences & H 2O of low density, in case of small differences. 1 As for the same P, h - The cross section of the tube doesn t affect the pressure. - Consider two points ( A ) & ( B ) at the same level. = P g = P a P g P a P g P a P g = P a P g = P a + g Δh P g = P a - g Δh P g P a = 0 P g P a = ρgδh p g P a = - ρgδh Pg P N a g h 2 ( Pascal ) m - Note: ΔP can be calculated in cm Hg as ΔP= P g P a = Δh in cm Hg, only if Hg is used. - Controlling the quantity of air in the Eustachian canal, controls the pressure on the ear drum. * This is done by swallowing or chewing a gum. ~ 99 ~

101 Applications on pressure: 1. Blood flows through arteries and veins in a steady flow which may change into turbulent flow producing noise detected by the stethoscope. When the cardiac muscle contracts blood pressure is 120 mm Hg & is called Systolic pressure and when it is relaxed pressure becomes 80 mm Hg and is called Diastolic pressure. 2. As a tire is well inflated ( high pressure) the area in contact with ground decreases, while it increases when it is under inflated, this leads to the increase of friction & overheating of the tire. ( Measured by the pressure gauge ) -N.B: Pressure devices are all based scientifically on: 1. Two or more points inside the same liquid and affected by equal pressures must be at the same horizontal level. 2. Inside the same liquid P = ρ g h where p α h and is independent of the shape and area of the container. 1- What is meant by: 1. The density of mercury is kg/m kg is the mass of mercury per unit volume ( 1 m 3 ) 2. The specific gravity of aluminium is is the ratio between the density of Al & that of water at the same temperature. 3. The pressure on a point is 50 N/m N is the force acting normally per unit area ( 1 m 2 ) around that point. 4. The atmospheric pressure is equal to 76 cm Hg. - The atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure exerted by a mercury column of unit area and height equal to 76 cm at 0 o C at sea level. ~ 100 ~

102 5. The atmospheric pressure is equal to 2 bar. - The atmospheric pressure is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a Hg column of unit area and height equal to 1.5 m.hg. 6. The atmospheric pressure is equal to Pascal. - The atmospheric pressure is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a Hg column of unit area and height equal to 1.52 m.hg x10 5 N is the force (weight) of atmospheric air acting normally per unit area. 7. The reading of a manometer is 10 cm. Hg. - The absolute pressure of the gas enclosed in the manometer is 86 cm. Hg. 8. The absolute pressure of a gas enclosed in a manometer is 56 cm.hg. - The reading of the manometer is 20 cm.hg. - The pressure difference between the pressure of the enclosed gas and P a is 20 cm.hg. 2-Give reasons for: 1. Density is a characteristic for the substance. - Because density is the mass of the substance per unit volume which depends on the chemical structure ( type & number of atoms & bonds ) which differ from a substance to another. 2. Fluids can flow while solids can't. - Because Fluids have moderate or weak intermolecular attractive forces & wide spaces while solids have closely packed molecules with strong intermolecular attractive forces & narrow spaces so the have definite shapes. 3. Solids are more dense than liquids. - Because in solids molecules are closely packed so the mass per unit volume is greater than in liquids & density = mass / volume. 4. The edge of a knife is thin. - Because P = F / A & as area decreases, pressure increases to become high enough to cut an object. ~ 101 ~

103 5. Camel has broad pads. - Because P = F / A & as area increases, pressure decreases to prevent it from sinking in the loose sand of the desert. 6. Pressures exerted by two different liquids having the same heights are different. - Because P = ρgh, & different liquids have different densities. 7. In a homogeneous liquid all points found at the same level have equal pressure. - Because P = ρgh, & for the same liquid both density & g are constants & Pα h & all points at a similar level have equal pressure. 8. It is better to use water in manometers while measuring small pressure differences. - Because H 2 O has a low density & as P =ρ g h then at constant P, h = P/g ρ & h α 1/ρ so for slight P. changes the change in height will be observed. 9. A liquid rises in the connected vessels of different shapes similarly. - Because P = ρgh & is independent of shape & area of the container so different points affected by the same P must be at a similar level. 10. A barometric tube has been filled completely with mercury then inverted into a basin containing mercury & the Torricellian space hasn t been observed. - Because the tube used may be short or inclined, the temperature may be high decreasing the density increasing the height of Hg or the pressure is very high. 11. Mercury was used in Torricellian barometer. - Because Hg has a high density & as h α 1/ρ, this allows us to use a short barometric tube as the height of the Hg column will be suitable, it also has high cohesive forces so it doesn't wet glass & is opaque. 12. As the density of the liquid increases its height decreases to keep the pressure constant. - Because P = ρgh & for a constant P, ρ α 1/h. ~ 102 ~

122 Pascal s principle: If any pressure is applied to an enclosed liquid, it is transferred undiminished to all the points of the liquid as well as to the walls of container. - If the liquid compressed below the piston is exposed to Fg a pressure ( P1 ) due to weight of the piston then the pressure at a any point in the liquid becomes: P t = P a + P 1 + g h - When the pressure is increased by ( P ) on the piston, the pressure on any point in the liquid will increase by the same value to become P t = P a + g h + P 1 + P, as liquids are incompressible. - N.B: The increase can t be observed since the liquid can t flow. * One of the applications on Pascal s principle is: The hydraulic press: - Used to magnify a small force and carry heavy loads. - A small force is exerted on the small piston of area ( a ) changes the pressure by ( P ) which is then transmitted undiminished to the large piston of area ( A ) to produce a big force ( F ) which is enough to raise a car up. F f f A P F N A a a - The little force is then magnified to become a strong one. ~ 121 ~

123 - The mechanical advantage of a press: is the ratio between the resulting force & the applied one. * can be calculated as: - the ratio between the mass carried by the large piston & the one acting on the small one = the ratio between the surface area of the large piston & that of the small one = the ratio between the square of the radius of the large piston & that of the small one = the ratio between the square of the diameter of the large piston & that of the small one = the ratio between the displacement of the small piston to that of the large one. = The ratio between the speed of the small piston to that of the large one. - Since the volume of the liquid displaced from the small piston ( s ) is equal to the one a A 1 displaced to the large one ( S ) then Vol a s A S where and A S s S 2 2 F M g A R D s v 2 2 f m g a r d S V F η - For a group of presses gr. 1 2 F F final initial f Woutput FS - Efficiency of a press w f s input - For an ideal press, efficiency = 100 % since work output = work input F P W f p w - N.B:- For an ideal press 1, 1, 1 - A press may not respect Pascal s principle if it contains some air bubbles, as gases are compressible, or if it leaks leading to a liquid outflow. - For a press to be at equilibrium (pistons stop moving) the pressure at two points at the same horizontal level inside the liquid must be equal, and it is not a must that both pistons be at the same level to achieve this. ~ 122 ~

The efficiency of a press is 80 % is the ratio between the output work to the input work of the press. 2- Give reasons: 1. Hydraulic presses can lift large loads while acting upon them with small forces. - Because according to Pascal's principle, pressure is transmitted undiminished through liquids and f/a = F/A so by increasing the area, the resultant force is magnified to keep the pressure constant. 2. In the hydraulic press, the motion of the small piston is faster than that of the large one. - Because the liquid is incompressible so the volume displaced from the small piston = to the one reaching the large piston & as A/a = s /S & A α 1/ S The displacement of the small piston is greater as its area is smaller. 3. A press with well sealed, frictionless pistons doesn t respect Pascal s principle. - Because the press may contain gas bubbles which are compressible. ~ 123 ~

135 CHAPTER ( 4 ) CHARACTERISTICS OF FLUIDS IN MOTION (Dynamic fluids) * Steady & turbulent flows: - Steady flow: - Is the transfer of a liquid from a point to another easily & smoothly due to a P & is expressed by a specific number of streamlines which never intersect. - Steady or laminar flow is characterized by: 1. Liquid fills the tube completely. 2. The quantity of liquid flowing in at a certain time equals the one flowing out at the same time. 3. The flow is not rotational. ( not a vortex flow containing vortices ) 4. The flow is represented by imaginary stream lines that do not intersect. 5. The rate of flow is represented by the number of stream lines passing per unit area at a point. N.B: - If the rate of flow increases than a certain limit the flow is changed to turbulent, characterized by the presence of vortices. This takes place in gases too while flowing from a high pressure to a low pressure region. - In the fig. the volume of the liquid ( Vol 1 ) flowing per unit time ( t ) along the length ( L 1 ) of cross section ( A 1 ) constitutes the volumetric rate of flow ( Q vol 1 ), represented as: Vol t A L Q vol 1 t while the rate of flow of the liquid along ( L 2 ) of area ( A 2 ) is represented as: Vol t A L Q vol 2 t ~ 134 ~

137 - Blood flows at a low speed through blood capillaries? because the total cross section of the capillaries is greater than that of the artery and the velocity is inversely proportional to the cross section, so this allows the gases exchange as well as it prevents the explosion of the capillaries. * Solved examples: 1. A main artery where blood flows at 0.08 m/s, distributes the blood in 150 blood capillaries each of diameter 1/8 that of the artery. Find the velocity of blood flow through each capillary. A No A A (8 r) 64r No A1 ( r) 150 r ms. * Viscosity: - Is the resistance to the flow of a fluid due to the frictional forces between the fluid layers during sliding. - Is the property causing the presence of frictional forces between the different layers of a liquid trying to prevent their sliding past each other. - Experiments to observe viscosity: 1. Try to pour alcohol & glycerine from two similar beakers. You observe that the rate of flow of alcohol is higher. 2. Try to stir two similar volumes of water & honey with a glass rod. You observe that stirring is easier in case of water while honey stops moving when you just stop stirring. 3. Drop two similar metallic spheres in honey & water & measure the time taken by each to reach the bottom. You observe that the one falling in water reaches the bottom faster. ~ 136 ~

138 - Determination of the coefficient of viscosity ( ) - Suppose that a liquid is kept between two glass sheets. - The lower one fixed & the upper is moving at a uniform velocity ( v ). - The velocity of the liquid will vary from the upper layer to the lower one, from v to 0. - Considering that the liquid is made of several mobile layers, we conclude that: - There is a frictional force between the static sheet and the liquid, this is high and is able to stop the liquid. - This force becomes weaker as we rise up towards the mobile sheet. - This force applied keeps a layer moving at a uniform velocity ( v ). F A( area ) F V ( velocity) F 1 d ( dis tan ce) AV AV F and F Vs N d d F d N Vs AV m.sec (.sec. Pascal kg m s ) M L T 1 1 -The coefficient of viscosity ( vs ): is the tangential force acting on a liquid layer of unit area to produce a difference in velocity of 1m/s between it and another layer distant by a unit distance. F Vs AV d F Vs V d A F Vs A d V F Vs AV 1 d * Applications on viscosity: 1. Lubrication oil is used in machines to reduce the corrosion between their parts, because oil has a high viscosity so it sticks against the different parts of the machine reducing friction & heating. ~ 137 ~

139 2. The shapes of cars are designed glidingly, to reduce their friction against air to be able to overcome the air resistance ( viscosity ) since at low speeds viscosity velocity, while at high speeds viscosity velocity 2, & this increases the fuel consumption. 3. The rate of sedimentation of blood is used to identify some diseases, since the rate of sedimentation of R.B.Cs the square of their radii. In normal cases it is 15 mm/ hr. If the rate increases, this proves that the size of R.B.Cs increased, usually due to their adherence together in case of Rheumatic fever. If the rate decreases this proves that the size of R.B.Cs decreased usually due to Anemia. *Remember:- 1- What is meant by: 1. The flow rate of a liquid is 6 kg/sec. - 6 kg is the mass of the liquid flowing in or out per second. 2.The coefficient of viscosity of glycerine is 6.1 kg /m.s N is the tangential force acting on a liquid layer of unit area to produce a difference in velocity of 1 m/s between it & another layer distant by a unit distance. 2- Give reasons for: 1. The speed at which blood flows through capillaries is less than that at which it flows through artery providing them with blood. - Bec. the total area of blood capillaries is greater than that of the artery supplying them with blood as A 1 v 1 = A 2 v 2 so Aα 1/ v & the velocity of blood flow decreases as the area increases. 2. Firemen use wide rubber tubes ending with narrow valves. - Bec. at steady flow the rate of flow in = the rate of flow out & A 1 v 1 = A 2 v 2 so Aα 1/ v so they use narrow valves to increase the velocity of water getting out to reach long distances. ~ 138 ~

140 3.Oil is used in machines. - Bec. it has a high viscosity so it is used to lubricate machines as it sticks against their parts for a long time reducing friction, heating & corrosion. 4. At high speeds, cars consume much fuel. - Bec. at high speed air viscosity α v 2 so the car's engine consumes much fuel to do much work to overcome the viscosity of air. 5. The rate of blood sedimentation is used in medicine. - Bec. the rate of blood sedimentation α radius 2 of R.B.C. the is 15 mm/hr. If it increases this means an attack by a rheumatic fever while its decrease means the attack by anemia which destroys the cells reducing their size. 6. A metallic ball falls slower in glycerine that in water. - Bec. glycerine has a higher viscosity which resists the flow of bodies through it due to frictional forces. 7. The diameter of a water column flowing out of a hose increases when directing its tip upwards. - Bec. water flowing out is decelerated due to gravity decreasing its velocity, and as the flow is steady A 1 according to the equation of continuity and so the diameter of the water column increases.

152 UNIT ( 3 ) HEAT CHAPTER ( 5 ) GAS LAWS * Brownian movement :- (random movement). - Illuminate a glass box by a strong light. - Introduce smoke in it and observe by the aid of a microscope the motion of graphite particles. We observe that they move randomly. - The particles of air moving in all directions in a vibratory and translational motion at different velocities collide against the graphite particles. When collision on one side is stronger than the other the last moves. - Gaseous molecules always move randomly ( in a haphazard motion ) colliding against each other and against the walls of container elastically occupying its volume. - How to prove the presence of intermolecular spaces:- - A jar containing ammonia gas of low density is inverted on the one containing hydrogen chloride gas of higher density. - A white cloud of NH 4 Cl (ammonium chloride) is formed along the tubes. - Although HCl is more dense it moves up diffusing in the intermolecular spaces of NH 3 and vice versa so they combine to form NH 4 Cl. Intermolecular spaces are found between the molecules of gases and weak intermolecular forces allow them to move randomly in all directions. ~ 151 ~

153 To study the relation bet volume (vol), pressure ( P ) of temperature ( t ) of a gas, one of the three variables must be fixed at a time. 1- Relation between Vol. and P. at constant ( t o ) 2- Relation between Vol. and t o at constant ( P. ) 3- Relation between P. and t o at constant ( Vol. ) 1- Relation between Vol. & P. at constant t:- Boyle s law: * Exp:- 1- Open the tap of the burette B after filling the tube A with Hg. 2- Move A up & down until the Hg level becomes equal in both A and B, then measure the volume of air in the burette Vol 1 whose pressure P 1 = P a after closing the tap. 3- Raise the tube A up and measure the new air volume Vol 2 of pressure P 2 = Pa + g h. 4- Move the tube A down & measure the volume of air in the burette V 3 of pressure P 3 = Pa - g h. 5- Repeat step 3 & 4 for several times & draw the relation Vol Vs 1 P 1 Vol & P Vol cont. P P P Vol Vol or Boyle s law :- For a certain mass of gas, its volume is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that its temperature is constant. N.B:- CaCl 2 is added over Hg to dry air. - The motion of the tubes must be slow to keep t constant. P 2- The effect of temperature change on the volume at constant P: Exp :- To show the effect of t on equal Vol. of different Gases :- - Get two flasks of similar volumes fitted with 2 narrow glass tubes each containing a thread of Hg. Vol. ~ 152 ~

154 - Fill one with O 2 & The other with CO 2. - Dip both flasks in a hot water bath. - We observes that the Hg threads move similarly in both. - This proves that equal volumes of different gases kept under constant pressure expand similarly for a similar t rise. - These are said to have the same coefficient of cubic expansivity. * Coefficient of cubic expansivity ( vol ): Is the amount of increase in a unit volume of a gas at 0C if its t is raised by 1C at constant pressure - The coefficient of cubic expansivity vol :- V depends on :- t (change of t o.) V o ol 0 c ( Volume of the gas at 0C) and it was found experimentally that :- V ol V ol 0 o & V ol t V ol V ol 0 o t ( vol is the constant ) Vol Vol Vol t 0 * Determination of vol practically:- Charles s law ( Relation between the volume and temperature of a gas at a constant pressure): - get a glass tube 30 cm. Long & 1 mm in diameter closed from its lower end. - A Hg ( H 2 SO 4 ) drop is introduced to trap air, dry it & keep its pressure constant. - The tube is inserted in a jar full of ice starting to melt (at 0C). - Measure the length of air column, this is proportional to its volume ( V o ol 0 c) since its cross section is uniform. - Remove ice & water & start passing vapor at 100C through the jar. ~ 153 ~

155 - Wait for a while & then measure the length of the air column. (V ol 100 o c ). V V V V V AL AL V (100 0) V AL ol 100 ol 0 ol 100 ol ol 0 ol For all gases was found to be equal per degree. N.B: Precautions while performing Charles experiment: 1. The narrow tube must be of a uniform cross sectional area, to be able to substitute the volume by length and facilitate the calculation of Vol. 2. Use a drying agent to remove water vapour which is not an ideal gas from air. 3. Do not measure the volume (length) unless the liquid drop rests at equilibrium completely to grant that the pressure is constant = P a. Charles s law:- For a certain mass of gas, its volume increases by of its volume at 0 o C for each degree rise in temperature provided that its pressure is kept constant. 3- The effect of temperature change on pressure at a constant Volume:- Exp :- To show the effect of t on P. at constant Vol. - A glass flask containing air is fitted with a U shaped tube containing Hg. - Hg in both branches of the tube has the same level. (fig. a) - Put the flask in a hot water bath, the gas expands and pushes the Hg which rises up in branch B ( fig. b). - Add Hg to get the Hg in A back to its initial level. ~ 154 ~

156 - Now the Hg level at B is higher than that at A by ( h ) cm. which proves that the pressure of gas increases by heating ( fig. c). - Repeat the experiment several times using equal volumes of different gases. - We find that different gases increase their pressures similarly, for similar t rise provided that their volumes are kept constant. * Coefficient of pressure expansivity at constant Vol. ( P ) Is the amount of increase in the unit pressure of a gas at 0C if its t increases by 1C at constant volume. - The coefficient β P :- P depends on Po & t. Where P P o & P t P Po t p P Po t * Practical determination of P Pressure s law :- ( Relation between the pressure and temperature of a gas at a constant volume): - Jolly s instrument: ( Gaseous thermometer ) - It consists of: - A flask filled to 1 7 of its volume with Hg to overcome the expansion of glass. - The flask is connected to a tube (B) which is connected through a rubber tube to another barometric tube (C) filled with Hg. - A vertical graduated scale & a thermometer. Procedure :- 1- Dip the flask in melting crushed ice 2- Wait for a while to allow the t of the dry air inside the tube to reach 0 C. 3-Move the tube C up & down until the Hg in tube B reaches a certain point ( x ). ~ 155 ~

157 4-Measure the difference of Hg levels in B & C, this is called ( h ). 5-Pressure of air in the flask is calculated as: Po = P a - g h or ( P a h ) 6-Place the flask in boiling water & wait for a while until air reaches 100 C. 7-Move C until the level of Hg in B returns to the same point ( x ) to keep the volume of the gas constant. 8- Measure the difference in Hg levels between B & C call it ( h 1 ). 9-The pressure of air is now calculated as :- P 100 = P a + g h 1 or ( P a + h 1 ) The pressure expansivity of a gas at constant volume β p is given as :- P P100 Po P 100 o N.B :- P for all gases = Vol = P for all gases. * Pressure s law :- for each degree rise in t. For a certain mass of gas, the pressure increases by of its value at 0 C, for each degree rise in temperature, provided that the volume is kept constant. * Graphs representing the relations between ( P & t o ) & ( Vol & t o ) & their uses to find the absolute zero (zero Kelvin) - By plotting the results obtained in the previous experiments we obtain the graphs from which we can find that :- ~ 156 ~
