Why? The current goes up due to the voltage increase which increases the electric pressure. When a student is connected into the same circuit with the generator and another student what happens to the current through the students? When more students are added? Why does it do this? The current decreases. The electrons have to travel through both students – increasing electric resistance. As the voltage increases in a circuit for a constant resistance, the current _increases__. The relationship in equation form: I V As the resistance increases in a circuit for a constant voltage, the current __decreases__. The relationship in equation form: I R 5 What is the electric relationship between current and voltage, and current and resistance? Directly; inversely I = V/R Combine the two relationships: Ohm’s Law – the current through an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage and is inversely proportional to the electrical resistance of the circuit. Assumes a constant resistance for different voltages Light bulbs do not obey Ohm’s law – increasing voltage, increases the bulb’s resistance because of an increase in temperature. o Light bulbs do however obey the Law at specific voltages and it can be used to calculate the current or resistance at that voltage. V I R Lig 1. An automobile headlight with a resistance of 8 is placed across a 12V battery. What is the current through the headlight? I V / R 12V / 8 1.5A 2. A flashlight with a 6 V lantern battery has a current of 1.125 A. What is the resistance value of the light bulb at that voltage? R V / I 6V / 1.125 A 5.33 3.

V I R 0.008 A 34000 272V Assignment Ch. 17: 27-42, 69 6 What do the numbers at the top of selected light bulbs tell you? The power of the light bulb – how much relative light it will emit when connected to 120V Ex. Different light bulbs Electric Power – (Watts) – the rate of electrical energy used or radiated per unit time. (1 Watt = 1 Joule / 1 sec) * Current is the charge per unit time, and voltage is the energy per unit charge Recall: Work = q V; Power = W/t = q V/t = (q/t) V = I V 1. P = I V 2. P = V2/ R Substituting in for current: I = V/R; P = V/R x V = V2/ R 3. P = I2 R Substituting in for voltage: V=I R; P = I (I R) = I2 R Energy dissipated by electric current: EE = P t Electric energy is in units of Joules Calculate the energy dissipated by a 40 W bulb in 2 hours: E P t 40W 2h 3600s / h 288,000 J Which of these bulbs have more resistance and current?

Smaller light bulbs have a thinner filament -> more resistance What are fuses and circuit breakers used for in circuits? To stop the flow of charge when the current becomes too large – current generates heat which will melt the fuse and break the circuit. Demo: aluminum fuses and circuit breaker How much energy does a 60 W light bulb use in a day? E P t 60W 24h 3600s / h 5,184,000 J 1440Wh 1.44kWh Why do power companies use kilowatt-hours to charge for electricity used? A joule is a very small unit of energy. A more convenient unit would be much larger. Kilowatt-Hours – unit of energy used by power companies to charge you money. 1kWh 3,600,000 J How is electricity transmitted to your homes? Power lines – thick (about as thick as a quarter) silver-copper alloy with steel reinforced cable wires Why would the transmission of energy to your home be at high voltages and low currents? Hint: recall power equation #3, current determines heat energy loss. Heat is the number one loss of energy in power lines. Current generates heat, therefore any reduction in current will mean less energy loss. Resistance of power cables = 0.2 / 1 km If your home was 81 km away from the power station, how much power is lost from the power company in kW? The current of power lines average ~41 A. At cost rate of 12 cents per kWh, how much money is the power company losing in a day? A year?

Calculate the resistance of your hot dog when it is connected across 120 V: 2. Calculate the power that heated your hot dog: 3. Calculate the energy needed to cook your hot dog: 9 10 What do architects use to construct buildings? Blue prints – they have the basic structures with symbols that represent different objects in the building. What is a schematic diagram? A blue print for a circuit. What do these symbols mean for schematic diagrams? Wire resistor lightbulb Switch (open) battery capacitor What is a series circuit? A circuit in which all the resistors are connected in-line with each other creating one current pathway. What would be the properties of such a circuit? The properties of a series circuit can be summarized below; 1. Electric current has one single pathway through the circuit. This means that the current passing through each electrical device is the same. 2. The current is influenced by the resistance of each of the resistors, so that the total resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of all the resistance. 3. Ohm’s law applies to each of the resistors in the circuit. The voltage drop or the volts used by each resistor depends directly on the value of their resistance. That means that a larger resistor will proportionally use more volts than a smaller resistor. 4. The sum of the volts used by each of the resistors is equal to the voltage impressed across the circuit. VT = V1 + V2 +V3 +… RT = R1 + R2 + R3 +… 11 IT = I1 = I2 = I3 =… Given the two light bulbs in the sockets - One is 25 W and the other is 60 W. When placed in series in a 120 V circuit, which one shines the brightest? a. 25 W bulb b. 60 W bulb c. Neither, they both are equally bright Why does this occur? The current through each bulb has to be the same – a property of series circuits. If a resistor has more resistance than another, then it will require or use proportionally more voltage in the circuit. Same current with more voltage = more power. What happens to the light bulbs when one of them is unscrewed from its socket? They all go out. Why did it do this? The circuit is now broken and current won’t flow. Apply Ohm’s Law to series circuits: Given this schematic diagram: 10 20 15 6V 1. Find the equivalent resistance of this series circuit. RT = R1 + R2 + R3 = 10 + 20 + 15 = 45 2. Find the current through the series circuit I = V/R = 6 / 45 = 0.133 A 12 3. Find the voltage drop across each resistor. V1 = I R1 = 0.133 x 10 = 1.33 V V2 = 0.133 x 20 = 2.67 V V3 = 0.133 x 15 = 2 V 4. Compare the individual voltages to the total voltage of the circuit. Does the property of a series circuit and voltage true? VT = 1.33 + 2.67 + 2 = 6V; Yes, they add up to the total voltage of the circuit. 5. Find the power dissipated by each resistor. P1 = I x V = 0.133 x 1.33 V = 0.177 W P2 = 0.133 x 2.67V = 0.353 W P3= 0.133 x 2 = 0.266 W 6. Compare the total power of the circuit to the power of each of the resistors, what can you conclude? PT = 0.177 + 0.353 + 0.266 = 0.796 W PT = I x VT = 0.133 x 6 V = 0.798 W The sum of the individual resistor powers is equal to the total power of the circuit (excluding rounding errors). This is an example of the law of conservation of energy. Go through the practice problems on pg. 650 in groups.

Why? Parallel, we will find out today. What is a parallel circuit? A parallel is a circuit where each resistor is connected across the same potential difference. Each connected resistor forms a ladder like structure called branches. How would the properties of a parallel circuit differ from a series circuit? R1 R2 R3 The properties of a parallel circuit can be summarized below: 1. Each resistor connects the two terminals of the power source by ladder like branches of wires. The voltage applied across these branches is the same voltage applied to each resistor. 2. The total current supplied by the power source divides among the parallel resistors in the circuit. Ohm’s law applies to each of the resistors and draws its current from the source. The currents from each of the resistors added together is equal to the total current drawn from the source. 3. Each resistor creates a branch or a new pathway for the current flow, decreasing the overall resistance of the circuit. This means that the total resistance of the circuit is always less than one resistor or combination of resistors in the parallel circuit. The relationship of resistance in a parallel circuit can be given by the following equation: 1. VT = V1 = V2 =V3 =… 2. 1/ RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +… 3. IT = I1 + I2 + I3 +… 15 Given the two light bulbs in the sockets - One is 25 W and the other is 60 W. When placed in parallel in a 120 V circuit, which one shines the brightest? a. 25 W bulb b. 60 W bulb c. Neither, they both are equally bright Why does this occur? The 60 W bulb shines the brightest because all resistors get the same voltage as the source. Since the 60 W bulb has the smaller resistance, more current will flow through it than the other bulb. It will have the most power, = 60W. What happens when one of the light bulbs is unscrewed from its socket? The other remains lit. Why does this occur? It still has the voltage of the power source across it. Apply Ohm’s Law to parallel circuits: Given this schematic diagram: 10 20 15 6V 1. Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit. 1/ RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = 1/10 +1/20 + 1/15 = 0.217 RT = (0.217)-1 = 4.62 Note: The resistance of a parallel circuit will always be smaller than the resistance of the smallest resistor in the circuit. 2. Find the current through the parallel circuit IT = V/R = 6/4.62 = 1.3 A 3. Find the voltage drop across each resistor. All the resistors have the same voltage as the source = 6 V 16 4. Compare the individual currents to the total current of the circuit. Does the property of a parallel circuit and current true? I1 = 6/10 = 0.6 A IT = 0.6 +0.3 + 0.4 = 1.3 A I2 = 6/20 = 0.3 A Yes, the total current from the source is the sum I3 = 6/15 = 0.4 A of the individual currents. 5. Find the power dissipated by each resistor. P1 = 0.6 x 6V = 3.6 W P2 = 0.3 x 6V = 1.8 W P3 = 0.4 x 6V = 2.4 W 6. Compare the total power of the circuit to the power of each of the resistors, what can you conclude? PT = 3.6 +1.8 + 2.4 = 7.8 W PT = 1.3 x 6V = 7.8 W Yes, the total power from the source is the sum of the individual powers. Go through the practice problems on pg. 655 in groups.

The 60 W bulb is placed in series with the other two bulbs in parallel. When placed in a 120 V circuit, which bulb shines the brightest? a. 25 W bulb b. 60 W bulb c. Neither, they all are about equally bright Why does this occur? When the two 25 W bulbs are placed in parallel, their overall resistance is cut in half due to the properties of a parallel circuit. Their overall resistance is now about the same as the 60 W bulb. Two identical bulbs in series will equally share the voltage, and have the same current, therefore they will shine equally bright.

Start by calculating the current through your simplified circuit: 50 V Apply series circuit rules to solve for current and voltage drops: 10 V I = 0.2A V = 0.2 x 25 =5V I = 0.2A V = 0.2 x 25 =5V 22 The next two steps can be combined to get back to the original circuit since both parts of the circuit are separate and distinct sections. Use series and parallel to the corresponding parts to solve for their currents and voltage drops. 50 V 10 10 V I = 0.2 A I = 0.2A 50 V You can now calculate the power of each resistor. See Solution V1 = 0.2 A x 10 = 2 V V2 = 0.2 A x 15 = 3 V V3 = V4 = 5V (property of parallel circuits) I3 = I4 = 5V/50 = 0.1 A P1 = 0.2A x 2V = 0.4W P2 = 0.2A x 3V = 0.6W P3 = P4 = 0.1A x 5V = 0.5W PT = 0.4 + 0.6 +0.5 + 0.5 = 2 W PT = 0.2A x 10V = 2 W 23 Solve for the current, voltage drops, and power of each resistor in the following complex circuit: 10 22 100 33 9V See Solution 9V 110 55 1/ RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/110 +1/55 = 3/110 RT = 110/3 = 36.7 IA = 9V/110 = 0.082A IB = 9V/55 = 0.163A V1 = 0.082 x 10 = 0.82V V2 = 0.082 x 100 = 8.2V V3 = 0.163A x 22 = 3.59V V4 = 0.163A x 33 = 5.38V P1 = 0.082 x 0.82V = 0.067 W P2 = 0.082 x 8.2V = 0.672 W P3 = 0.163A x 3.59V = 0.585 W P4 = 0.163A x 5.38V = 0.877 W Do Activity: Testing Complex Circuits Assignment Ch. 18: 14, 15, 20-26, 33, 35, 36 24 Using the resistors from the bin, construct 3 different compound circuits, using 4 resistors connected to 3 DCV.

What is it used for? A pendulum is a mass at the end of a string or other similar configuration. Was investigated by Galileo and was found to have a very regular period. It is used for clocks, determining accelerations, and spin rates. What force is powering a pendulum? Gravity. The acceleration is constant What determines how long it takes to make a complete back-and-forth motion? The length of the string. Amplitude – the distance or the size of the wave/vibration from the neutral line. It’s related to the energy of the wave/vibration. Period – (T) (units = seconds) the time it takes for a wave/vibration to repeat itself; the time for one complete oscillation back to the original position. Frequency – (units = Hz) – the number of oscillations, or waves, or vibrations per unit time. It can describe the rate of wave production – waves/second = Hz FT L mass Fg Small angle approximation of Pendulum motion: L T T 2 ; g 2 L T2 L gT 2 ; ; L g 4 2 g 4 2 Using the formula given, create a pendulum with a period of one second, ½ second, and 1 ½ seconds. What would be the period of these pendulums on the moon where g = 1.63 m/s2? Assignment Ch. 11: 12-17, 19, 20, 49 29 What is a wave? It is a periodic disturbance that travels through a medium. What does it do? It carries energy away from the initial disturbance. List some examples of waves: Water, sound, light, seismic (earthquake), electricity, wind, etc. What is the source of all waves? A vibration of some sort. Periodic Motion - (Pendulum) – the time it takes for a wave/vibration to repeat itself; the time for one complete oscillation back to the original position. Demo: super slinky How do we represent waves? Demo: marker on white board - mathematically this is called a: A Sine curve Wave pulse – A single disturbance in a medium. Phase - (conceptually represented) – the direction of the wave pulse. Phase up – (erect, crest, positive phase) – is the phase that is above (+ direction) the neutral position. Phase down – (inverted, trough, negative phase) – is the phase that is below (direction) the neutral position. Mechanical waves - (2 types) – a wave created in a matter medium matter doesn’t move with the wave - only the energy is transferred! 30 Transverse – the wave propagation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave speed. visual representation: Longitudinal – the wave propagation is parallel to the direction of the wave speed. (sound is longitudinal wave) visual representation: Electromagnetic waves – waves created by vibrating charges and do not require matter to propagate. EM waves are transverse waves. Assignment Ch. 11: 22-28 31 How do we represent waves? Sine curve What do waves transmit? Energy How fast do waves travel? That is determined by the type of wave and the properties of the medium. Each kind of wave possesses the following: amplitude, crest, trough, neutral line, wavelength Crest Amp. Neutral Line Trough Wavelength Representing longitudinal waves: (Sound) Compression Expansion Compressions – areas of higher pressure in a longitudinal wave, they correspond to the crest of the wave. Rarefactions - (Expansions) – areas of lower pressure in a longitudinal wave, they correspond to the trough of the wave. Note: the neutral is the normal pressure of the undisturbed medium. Wavelength - (symbol = ) – (units = meters) the distance covered by a wave in one period. Period - (symbol = T) – (units = seconds) the time it takes to make one complete wave or one vibration. Frequency - (symbol = f) (units = Hz) the rate of waves produced per unit time. f = waves/time. Looking at the units, what do you think the relationship is between period and frequency? f = 1/T 32 Wavespeed - (symbol = v) – (units = m/s) – the rate of distance covered per unit time by a wave traveling through a medium. Example: You’re at a Railroad crossing and notice that 2 train cars pass by the lights in 1 sec. Each train car is 18 m long. How fast is the train going? v = (2 train cars/ 1 sec.) x (18m / train car) = 36 m/s Do a unit analysis to find out what the relationship between wavespeed, period, frequency, and wavelength. Wavespeed equation: v=f What determines the speed of the wave? the type of wave and the property, it has nothing to do with frequency or wavelength! What happens when the frequency of the vibration is increased? Wavelength decreases What happens when the wavelength is increased? Frequency has decreased Examples: Calculate the wavelength of your favorite tone from the signal generator: The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. Calculate the period of vibration for the speaker producing your favorite tone from above: Calculate the wavelength of your favorite FM and AM radio station: The speed of 8 light is 3 x 10 m/s. Assignment Ch. 11: 29-35, 46-48 33 What are tidal waves and tsunamis? Large waves that come from the ocean What are Rogue waves and why are they different than the other waves? Rogue waves are produced by wave interference. How are these Rogue waves created? By waves adding together to make a bigger wave. Interference - (2 kinds) – when two or more waves meet in the same medium. Constructive – waves meet in phase and add to create a larger wave Destructive – waves meet out of phase and subtract to create a smaller wave or even no wave. Demo: superslinky in hallway - constructive and destructive Videos: Rogue Waves http://www2.waterforduhs.k12.wi.us/staffweb/stoll/Wave%20Videos.htm What happens when the incident wave from a source interferes with its own reflected wave? Both wave forms have the same properties and will create areas of constructive and destructive interference. Demo: superslinky Standing wave – a stationary wave form created by interference from a similar wave or reflected wave. parts of a standing wave: Node – the area with little or no movement in a standing wave. It is created by destructive interference. Anti-Node – the area of greatest displacement in a standing wave. It is created by constructive interference. Video: Tacoma Narrows Bridge http://www2.waterforduhs.k12.wi.us/staffweb/stoll/Wave%20Videos.htm What is the relationship between the number of AN’s and the frequency of the wave produced? 1 AN = ½ therefore; 2AN = 1 . It is a direct relationship: double the AN’s by doubling the frequency. 34 1/2 standing wave: 1 standing wave: 1 1/2 standing wave: Measuring a slinky’s wavespeed using standing waves: 1) Measure out 5 meters, and stretch the super slinky out to that length. Create a 1/2 standing wave: See example Solution 2) Measure the frequency of the standing wave using a stopwatch: 10 vibrations/ _________ sec. 3) Calculate the wavelength of the standing wave: 4) Calculate the wavespeed of the superslinky: v = f Do the same for a 1 standing wave and 1 1/2 standing wave, and compare their wavespeeds. What do you notice about their frequencies? Assignment Ch. 11: 36, 37, 40-43 35 36 What is sound? A longitudinal wave created by a series of compressions and expansions in a medium. Demo: paper towel in doorway As you increase the frequency what happens to the wavelength of sound? The wavelength decreases How is sound created? A vibrating source. Demo: wave generator and speaker How is sound represented? A sine curve, however the crest and trough are physically different than a transverse wave, but retain all wave properties. Crest – compression areas Trough – expansion areas Different materials have a different speed of sound in them. Air at room 0 temperature (20 C) and 1 atm pressure, speed = 343 m/s. In general, the speed 0 increases 0.59 m/s for every 1 C increase. * increase the temp. ----> increases the # of molecular collisions - air is more elastic Pitch - a term used to describe sound frequency - Hz * Hearing range for humans (varies by age and gender) ----> 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz Demo: sound generator Infrasonic – sound frequencies lower than 20 Hz Ultrasonic – sound frequencies greater than 20,000 Hz Speed of sound in water = ~1500 m/s (NOT surface waves!) the molecules are closer together----> molecules transfer energy faster Speed of sound in metals = ~5000+ m/s the atoms are very close together, and metals are very elastic! Back in the 1800’s and early 1900’s people put their ears to the railroad track. Why did they do that? Sound travels easier and farther through metals than any other material. Assignment Ch. 12: 1-5, 8, 9, 39 37 What happens to sound if the source or observer is moving? The pitch of the source appears to change. Demo: Mr. Doppler, Video Doppler Effect – the apparent shift in frequency due to the motion of the source and/or the observer. toward – higher frequency away – lower frequency works for all types of waves! - transverse, longitudinal, and electromagnetic wave speed 1 2 Boats on water, radar/Laser guns Boat 1 travels against the velocity of the wave crests. Boat 1 will encounter more _______ wave crests per unit time. Boat 2 travels with the velocity of the wave crests. Boat 2 will encounter less _______ wave crests per unit time. Each boat will perceive a different frequency than the frequency measured by a stationary observer. What happens when the boat or any other source travels faster than the wave speed of the material? Since the wavespeed is determined by the properties of the material, the motion of the source does not change the properties. The source causes the waves to overlap constructively creating a very high crest in front of the source, followed by a very large trough. In water = bow wave In air = shock wave - i.e. sonic boom Video clips: aircraft breaking the sound barrier Assignment Ch. 12: 6, 7, 11, 12 38 How do we measure the amount of sound coming from a source? Measure the difference in pressure from the crest and trough. Amplitude – a sound wave amplitude is determined by the relative pressure difference caused by the compression or expansion of a sound wave. Higher pressure > more energy > louder sound Decibels – (dB) – the unit used to measure the relative loudness of sounds based on a logarithmic scale of base 10. For a given sound, every 10 dB increase means the sound is 10x more intense. exponential scale: 20 dB is NOT twice as intense as 10 dB 20 dB is 10x more intense than 10 dB, and 30 dB is 100x more intense than a 10 dB sound. Demo: Sound meter Examples: 1. How many times more intense is a rock concert to a physics class? Physics class = ________ dB 2. How many times more intense is a physics class to a whisper? 3.

If you heard a 5 Hz beat frequency, and you had the 520 Hz tuning fork, what would be the possible frequencies of the other tuning fork? 525 Hz, 515 Hz Assignment Ch. 12: 29, 37, 38 40 How do musical instruments work? They use a property of resonance – which means “to sound again.” What is first needed to produce sound? a vibration How would you make sound louder? Influence more air. Forced Vibration – using a vibrating source to move a larger surface area. Example: sounding board special form of forced vibration Demo: tuning forks and resonance boxes Resonance – if the natural vibrating frequency of an object is equal to the vibrating source, a sound standing wave is produced. Sound resonance applications: Tuned Intakes, Tuned exhausts air column resonance Demos: PVC pipe resonances with tuning forks and wave generator Standing Waves – a wave form created by interference by a reflected wave. Closed Tube Resonance – a sound wave in a column of air that is reflected and phase shifted, resonances go up by odd integers of the 1st resonance (fundamental) 2 AN = 1 1st Resonance – tube length resonates a ¼ wavelength of the sound wave. 41 2nd Resonance - tube length resonates a ¾ wavelength of the sound wave Resonances are separated by ½ wavelength intervals Open Tube Resonance – a sound wave in a column of air that is open at both ends and when reflected does not phase shift, the resonances go up by integer multiples of ½ wavelengths. 1st Resonance – tube length resonates a ½ wavelength of the sound wave. 2nd Resonance – tube length resonates a 1 wavelength of the sound wave.

Yes, the resonances from other frequencies will also resonate Fundamental - (fo = 1st resonance/ harmonic for a given pitch) – the lowest frequency that will resonate in a column of air.

Calculate the second and third harmonics for both kinds of tubes. Closed: 570 Hz, 950 Hz Open: 760 Hz, 1140 Hz Demo: PVC tube and wave generator PVC pipe drum Let’s answer the first question: How do musical instruments work? * all musical instruments need a vibration. * a certain column of air will have natural resonating frequencies (harmonics) all sounding at the same time. * the fundamental is the most pronounced (its resonance loses the least sound energy) with each successive harmonic being the next pronounced. * the super-positioning of all the harmonics give the instrument its characteristic sound quality. 44 A flute has a high fundamental followed by higher harmonic frequencies, therefore it will have naturally high sound qualities. A tuba has a low fundamental followed by low harmonic frequencies that have diminishing energies for high frequencies, therefore the tuba will have naturally low sound qualities. Physics of Sound Video Do Lab: Calculating the Speed of Sound in Air Assignment Ch. 12: 20, 21, 24-28, 34-36 45 To calculate the speed of sound in air by applying a property of closed tube resonance. The fundamental wavelength of a closed tube is equal to four times the length of the air column. =4L By knowing the frequency for the fundamental of the closed tube, and measuring the length of the air column, one can calculate the value of the speed of sound in air. v = f = f (4 L) There is a correction to the air column length, due to the width of the air column, which must be added to the measured air column length for a proper calculation. The correction factor is 40% of the diameter of the air column or: L = l + 0.4 d Therefore, the speed of sound in air is given by the equation, with the correction factor: v = f = f (4 L) = f ( 4 (l + 0.4 d) ) You will be using a PVC tube ~ 0.45 m in length, and a 1 L graduated cylinder filled with water to simulate a variable closed tube. The length of the air column in the PVC pipe is varied by pulling the pipe in and out of the water in the graduated cylinder. 1) Measure the PVC tube inner diameter using a ruler or meter stick. This will be used for the 3 different tuning forks since you will be using the same tube for each tuning fork. d = ____________ m 2) Select one of the tuning forks from the card board box and record its frequency in the table. This will be the fundamental frequency for your air column. 46 3) Strike the tuning on the rubber hammer provided and hold the tuning fork above the top of the PVC pipe. Pull the PVC pipe up or down in the water until the loudest tone is made. At the point of loudest tone, resonance, measure the distance from the top of the PVC pipe to the top of the water level in the graduated cylinder. This is the air column length l. 4) Select two other different tuning forks from the box, and do the same procedure, recording the measured values in the table. Tuning Length of Fork air column Frequency =l Corrected Calculated Calculated Air fundamental Speed of column wavelength Sound in Length = L =4L Air = v 288 Hz 512 Hz 47 o 1) The accepted value for the speed of sound in air is 331.5 m/s at 0 C and 1 atm of o pressure. The speed of sound in air is increased 0.59 m/s per 1 C in dry air. Use the air temperature you measured to calculate the theoretical speed of sound in air. Theoretical speed of sound in air = _____________ m/s 2) Do a percent error analysis for each tuning fork to see how close you were to the theoretical accepted value for the speed of sound in air. % Error = |(actual - theoretical)| theoretical 3) How does your calculated experimental value for the speed of sound in air compare to the theoretical value? 4) What were some of the errors involved in the lab experiment? Any assumptions? 5) What other experiment could you do to find the speed of sound in air? 48 49 What is light? Electromagnetic transverse wave composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. What did Einstein propose in 1905? Tiny bundles of vibrating energy called photons. Ex, water waves are composed of tiny moving molecules of water. What creates light? Vibrating or accelerating charges. Are there different kinds of light? Yes, their properties or effects on matter are different and can be plotted into a spectrum. Electromagnetic Spectrum – a frequency chart of the different kinds EM waves based on their properties transverse wave radio infrared ultraviolet gamma 4 9 12 14 15 17 20 24 0----10 ------10 -----10 --------10 -----10 --------10 -----10 -----10 -----> microwave | | x-ray cosmic visible What are the uses for light? The agreed upon speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s by international standards. The measure of the speed of light is done by atomic clocks. The time it takes light to travel exactly 1 meter = 1/ 299,792,458 seconds. 8 Usually the speed of light, c = 3 x 10 m/s 50 Red light = 700 nm, Violet light = 400 nm Calculate the frequency span of the color spectrum: n = x10-9 f = 4.29 x 1014 Hz ----- 7.5 x 1014Hz Calculate the wavelength of the highest frequency light known to man. 24 f = 1 x 10 Hz = 3 x 10-16 m Calculate the wavelength of one of the lowest frequencies of light which is in the radio band emitted by power lines through AC current at 60 Hz. = 5 x 106 m Light Ray Model – (light ray approximation) light travels in straight line paths (particle property of light) Demo: Pinhole camera Assignment Ch. 13: 1, 2, 7, 10-13 51 What happens when one of the polarizers is turned 90 degrees relative to the other polarizer? The light dims and then is totally blocked. What happens when you view the light reflections from the desk tops through the polarizer? Rotate the polarizer. The light from the reflections are blocked. What happens when you view an LCD screen through a polarizer Light is blocked, the screen turns black What can you conclude about an LCD screen? The liquid crystal and the crystal panel are polarized. What happens when you view the sky on a sunny day through a polarizer? The air from the upper atmosphere polarizes the light from the sun. Why do all of these occur? They all are different applications or examples of polarized light. Polarization – the vibration of transverse waves in a uniform direction. Light is a transverse wave - this is a property of only transverse waves. Light emitted from bulb is radomly polarized Only vertically polarized light is allowed to pass through Polarizer resonates in only one direction all other light is absorbed Polarizers aligned perpendicularly will – absorb all the light A perfect polarizer will only absorb 1/2_______ the light from a randomly polarized source. Assignment Ch. 13: 39, 43-45 52 How do mirrors work? The loosely bound outer electrons in metal are free to vibrate at the same frequency as the incoming light wave. What happens when you view at a window from inside your house at night? Why does it do this? You see a partial reflection. It does this because light is being transmitted from a less dense material to a more dense material. Some light is allowed through but some light gets reflected. What is the light ray model for light? Light travels in straight lines. What happens when light encounters matter? 1. absorbed – light is in resonance and is turned into heat. 2. transmitted – light passes from atom to atom in the new material, the light is not in resonance with the material 3. reflected – light is absorbed and re-radiated by the freely vibrating electrons on the material’s surface. Demos: laser on mirror, light ray box on mirror Law of Reflection – a light wave is reflected at an angle equal to the angle of the incident light wave as measured relative to the normal. Normal – the imaginary perpendicular line that can be drawn from the surface at the point where the light ray meets the surface. parallel light rays reflect in a specific way Two kinds of reflections: Regular – parallel light rays reflect parallel, they create a virtual image. Ex. mirror Diffuse – parallel light rays reflect in different directions. Ex. We see each other and other objects by diffuse reflections 53 Identify the angle of incidence, angle of reflection and the normal in the diagram: Images – a point where light rays converge or appear to converge 2 types: 1. Virtual Images – an image located behind a mirror’s surface where light rays appear to converge. You have to look into the mirror to see this image. 2. Real Images – an image located in front of the mirror’s surface where light rays converge. The image can be projected onto a screen. Magnification – a ratio of the size of the image relative to the size of the object. Images can be: Erect – images that are virtual are in the same direction as the object. Inverted – images that are real are projected upside-down. What kind of images do plane mirrors produce? Virtual, Erect, M = 1: the image appears to be behind the mirror the same distance as the object in front of the mirror, and is the same size and direction as the object. Assignment Ch. 13: 14, 16, 17, 19 54 What happens when you view yourself in the large concave mirror? When it is close enough you see a virtual, enlarged image. Why do they produce images like these? A curved mirror reflects light in front of the mirror creating real images – a real focal pt. What happens when the hovercraft is sent down the hallway toward the curved end? The hovercraft will bounce off of the curved wall and go through the same point on the normal axis. Recall: the Law of Reflection – light reflects at equal angles Demo: concave mirror, hovercraft at the end of the hall r f C C Principal Axis C = center of curvature (circle radius) f = focal point Principal Axis – the imaginary perpendicular line to the surface of the curved mirror that goes through the center of curvature, and focal point. Focal Point – the point where light rays converge to form real images. Equation for focus: 2f=C 55 Every point on an object reflects light in all directions and those light rays are reflected from a mirror. It is easier to simplify the object images by applying one of the properties of light rays coming from an object. You need only 2 light rays to determine the properties of the images from the object: Principles for Drawing Ray Diagrams Light Rays travel in straight lines from all points Parallel Light Rays will converge at the focal point Light Rays that go through the focal point will reflect as parallel lines A light ray will travel through the center of curvature to the same point on the object’s image. 56 Identify the images produced in each of these situations, whether they are real or virtual, erect or inverted, enlarged or reduced: Mirror Interactive a. If the object (O) is outside of the C: Image properties: inverted, reduced (M<1), real C f b. If the O is between the C and f: Image properties: inverted, enlarged (M>1), real C f c.

A mirror that “bulges” outward like a part of a silvered ball Demo: convex mirror Why do they produce images like these? All light rays diverge and appear to come from a point behind the mirror. Properties of Convex Mirrors: Light rays always diverge Focal point is behind the mirror therefore, focal point is always = -f Forms images smaller than normal and are virtual images. Follow the same ray diagram rules to find the properties of the images formed by convex mirrors: f C Calculate the focal point of a convex mirror with a radius of 30 cm. A 10 cm object is placed 50 cm away from the mirror. What will be the virtual image height and location of the object? See Solution Assignment Ch. 13: 25, 26, 36, 50, 51, 57 60 61 What happens when a pencil is placed in a beaker of water? It appears to be broken and bent. Why do you see fish underwater at a different location than where it actually is at? The light rays are bent away from the original location. Refraction – the bending of light rays due to the difference in density between transparent materials. Refraction animation The incident light is parallel to the light ray transmitted on the other side when the object’s sides are parallel The amount a light ray is refracted depends on the difference in densities of the two materials. o Less dense to more dense – the light is bent toward the normal. o More dense to less dense – the light is bent away from the normal. What happens to the light rays as the angle of incidence is increased from 0 to 90 degrees? The light rays are bent more and more away from the normal Demo: light ray box on glass Diagram of a light ray through a more dense material: The incident light ray is parallel to the transmitted light ray on the opposite side of the glass Air Glass Air 62 Snell’s Law - describes the amount light will be refracted based on a material’s index of refraction. * The index of refraction is a unit-less number that is a property of the transparent material and is found experimentally. The index of refraction is related to how fast light will travel in a medium Air = n = 1 ni sin i nr sin r Where ni is index of refraction for the incident material, and nr is the index of refraction for the new material. 63 Calculate the index of refraction of glass and plastic using a laser pointer and block of the material. 64 What is the speed of light? 3 x 108 m/s or 186,000 miles/sec in a vacuum. What happens to the speed of light as it enters a new material? It gets slower. Why does it do this? The material is more dense and it takes light longer to jump from atom to atom through the material. If this occurs, then as light enters a new material the frequency of the light must remain the same (red light is still red light in glass). f air f glass v f therefore, Recall: v f c air v glass c glass v glass air nr glass ni The ratios are a constant = index of refraction ni = usually air = 1 c v glass nr Examples: Find the speed of light in water, glass, and another substance. vw = 2.26 x 108 m/s, vg = 1.974 x 108 m/s What is the index of refraction of a material whose speed of light is 1.87 x 108 m/s? nr = 1.604 Assignment Ch.14: 1-5, 10-14, 39-42, 50 65 How does fiber optics work? They work on a physics principle called total internal reflection. What happens to the light beam as the glass is rotated 90 degrees? The light beam is refracted to a larger and larger angle until the light beam is reflected back into the glass. Demo: light beam on prism, fiber optic strand Critical Angle - the angle at which the refracted angle is 90 degrees. air glass only occurs when light travels from higher to lower indices of refraction. Total Internal Reflection – occurs when angle of the light wave in the more dense medium is greater than the critical angle. It creates a perfect reflection with no energy loss. Application to Snell’s Law: ni sin i nr sin r 1. Calculate the critical angle (c) for air and glass. 41.1 degrees 2. Calculate the critical angle for air and water. 48.75 degrees Video: Lightspeed Assignment Ch. 14: 27, 35, 36-38, 51, 56, 58, 59 66 Why do we see rainbows? Light refracts in the water droplets. Demo: rainbow pictures What happens when white light travels through a prism? The light gets separated into the different colors. Why does it do that? Each frequency of light has a slightly different speed through the material. It will then refract at slightly different angles. Demo: light ray box and prism Dispersion – occurs when white light is refracted into the different color frequencies. Red frequencies can travel through transparent materials slightly faster than the higher, violet frequencies. The violet refracts more than red. Related to the index of refraction – Each light frequency experiences a slightly different index of refraction – red light is smallest, violet light has the largest. Each light frequency will travel at slightly different velocities through material. Application to Snell’s Law: Rainbows Water Droplet White light Violet Red 67 Calculate the speed of light for red and violet light in crown glass: Red light n = 1.514, Violet light n = 1.528 vr = 1.982 x 108 m/s vv = 1.963 x 108 m/s Why are sunrises/sunsets red? The atmosphere refracts light like a lens. It disperses the blue the most (why the sky is blue) and red the least. The red passes almost straight through to our eyes. What are Mirages? Light waves that are refracted due to the less dense (hotter air) near the ground. What creates them? Light is bent upward towards our eyes. The light that would normally be absorbed by the ground is totally internally reflected up to our eyes. Demo: mirage images Assignment Ch. 14: 28-30, 49 68 What is a lens? a circularly curved piece of glass. What are they used for? For focusing light rays or magnifying images. What are they made out of? Commonly made out of glass, but technically any type of transparent material that has a different index of refraction. Lens – a curved piece of transparent material that refracts light through or away from a focal point. Lenses have two focal points on either side Two kinds of lenses: 1. Convex – a lens that is thicker in the center, it bulges outward. Bends light inward – has a focus Concave – a lens that is thinner in the center than the outside edge, curves inward. Bends light outward – always disperses and only creates virtual images. 69 The ray diagrams for lenses are very similar to those drawn for spherical mirrors. However, the light rays are not reflected but refracted through the focus on the opposite side of the lens. Recall the lens/mirror equations: h q M h p 1 1 1 f q p p h h’ q Principles for Drawing Ray Diagrams for Lenses Light Rays travel in straight lines from all points Parallel Light Rays will converge at the focal point Light Rays that go through the focal point will refract as parallel lines A light ray that travels through the center of the lens will travel in a straight line. 70 Identify the properties of a convex lens: Lens Ray Diagram Interactive 1. 2f f f 2f 2f f f 2f 2f f f 2f f 2f 2. 3.

Theory: The focal length of a lens can be calculated based on the object and image positions measured relative to the lens. The lens/mirror equation will be used to calculate the focal length. The magnification of the image will also be calculated and verified by directly measuring the size of the image formed on the screen. h q M h p 1 1 1 f q p Set-up/Procedure: lens Meter stick stand Light bulb Screen Measure the size of the 15 W light bulb from the top of the bulb to the location where the glass bulb meets the base. _______________ cm Given the set-up illustrated above: 1. Place the object at a convenient location on the meter stick (ex. 20 cm mark). 2. Place the lens at a convenient location in front of the object (lightbulb). 3. Slide the screen back-and-forth on the meter stick until a sharp image of the lightbulb is formed. Pay particular attention to the image of the filament because the filament is located in the center of the lightbulb. 4. Measure the image distance from the screen to the lens. 5. Measure the height of the image produced on the screen, from the top to the bottom. 6. Repeat this process for each of the remaining lenses 73 Calculate the focal length of each of the 6 numbered lenses. Also calculate the magnification of the image formed on the screen and then compare it to the actual magnification of the image. How close were you to the actual magnification? Do an error analysis of each lens to quantitatively define how well you did your calculations.

What is making those sounds? Small charged particles (or gamma rays) that are being shot outward from the nucleus at a very high speed. Demo: detector and source Stable vs. Unstable Atoms, what makes an atom unstable? Generally, if the electrostatic repulsion of the nucleons is stronger than the nuclear force the nucleus will decompose into a more stable state. Before these questions can be completely understood we need to understand some of the properties and the fundamental structure of atoms. Fundamental Structure of Atoms 76 Atoms have the majority of their mass located in the center of the atom called the nucleus. Relative size of atoms: If the nucleus of a hydrogen atom were the size of a ball bearing 1cm in diameter, where would the electron be located? Proton = 1.6 fm and hydrogen atom = 10-10 m D = 625 m Representing the atomic structure of atoms: The atoms represented on the periodic table on pg. 872-873 in your textbook have different chemical properties based on the number of electrons that are orbiting around the nucleus. However, the nuclear structure determines what kind of atom it is based on how many protons exist in the nucleus. 207 82 Pb 207 = A = mass number 82 = Z = atomic number What is the difference between these two numbers? The number of neutrons in the atom. These numbers represent the different kinds and number of nucleons in an atom. Nucleon –a massive particle located in the nucleus of an atom. Proton – a nucleon with a positive charge of 1.6 x 10-19 C Neutron – a nucleon that has no net-charge. A Z N Calculating the number of neutrons in an atom: where, A, Z, and N are all positive integer numbers – can’t have ½ proton! 77 Isotope – atoms with the same atomic number but with different mass numbers due to differing numbers of neutrons. Nuclear Density = 2.3 x 1017 kg/m3 How much would a ball bearing with a diameter of 1cm weigh if it had the same density of a nucleus? 1.204 x 1011 kg = 2.65 x 1011 lb. Atomic Mass Units – (amu = “u” ) – the SI unit of mass used to measure the masses of nucleons. 1 neutron ~ 1 proton ~ 1 u 1 u = 1.66053886 x 10-27 kg 1 electron ~ 5.5 x 10-4 u 1 proton = 1.007825 u 1 neutron = 1.008665 u Electron Volts – (eV) – a unit used to measure the rest energy of particles. It is used to relate the amount of energy a particle possesses due to its mass. One eV is the energy one electron will give up when moving across a potential difference of 1 Volt. Assign. HW Ch.22: 1-3, 33, 34 78 What did Einstein Propose in 1905 in his Theory of Relativity? Einstein proposed that the rest mass of an object is actually a measure of the energy an object possesses. Mass/ Energy Equivalence – ER = mc2 - a derivation of Einstein’s special theory of relativity that explains how mass is not conserved in nuclear reactions but the mass of an object is due to the energy it possesses, based on the constancy of the speed of light. Where, c = 299 792 458 m/s Converting mass in amu to eV of energy: 1.66053886 x10 27 kg299792458m / s 1u 931.49MeV 1.60217653x10 19 J / eV M = 1 x106 2 Nucleon Mass (kg) Mass (u) Rest Energy (MeV) Proton 1.6735 x 10-27 kg 1.007825 u 938.78 MeV Neutron 1.6749 x 10-27 kg 1.008665 u 939.56 MeV Electron 9.109 x 10-31 kg 5.4858 x 10-4 u 0.511 MeV Calculate the rest energy of each of the above atomic particles: 79 What makes a nucleus stable? Why don’t they fly apart and disintegrate? The strong nuclear force between the protons and neutrons. Remember Coulomb’s Law? What is the repulsive force between protons? Fe = ? Fe = kq1q2, where k = 9 x 109 d2 Calculate the repulsive force between one of the protons in a Uranium nucleus: 1f = 1 x 10-15 m Diameter of 1 proton = 1.6 fm ; 1 uranium nucleus = 15 fm See Solution How fast would the proton have to travel to be absorbed by a Uranium nucleus? Recall, KE = PE See Solution Strong Nuclear Force – the strongest of the natural forces that keeps nucleons bound together against the electric force of repulsion. Short range force ~ 1fm Stable light elements: Z = N ; # of protons = # of neutrons Stable heavy elements: Z < N ; # of protons < # of neutrons Neutrons add strong nuclear __________ without adding the electric force. More protons = more electric repulsion _____________ 80 For atoms where the number of neutrons greatly outnumber the number of protons, they are unstable due to a property where neutrons need to be bonded to protons, neutrons by themselves are unstable and will transform into a proton and an electron Conceptually: = neutrons = protons For Z > 83 – nucleus is not stable – strong nuclear force only acts to a distance of adjacent nucleons – neutrons keep protons together. 81 What is the atomic mass of 2 protons? 2 neutrons? What about a Helium atom? (see Appendix H, pg. 874) 2(1.007825u) + 2(1.008665u) = 4.03298u He = 4.00260u When compared together what accounts for the mass discrepancy? The amount of energy released when combining these particles together or in reverse – the amount of energy needed to strip them apart. Binding Energy – the energy released when nucleons form a more stable, less energetic nucleus. The energy released is equal to the mass deficit according to Einstein’s special theory of relativity. It is also the energy needed to completely break apart an atom. Ebind mc2 Where m = mass deficit m Z (m p ) N (mn ) atomicmass Ebind m(amu) 931.49MeV / u 82 9 Ex.

What are the binding energies for each of these Na = 186.6 MeV – has less # of protons and more neutrons which makes it more stable – less repulsive force and more strong nuclear force – more energy required to rip it apart Mg = 181 MeV Isobars – atoms that have the same atomic mass but different atomic numbers Assign. HW Ch.22: 5 - 9 83 What is radioactivity? Why does it do this? Atoms that emit particles, or gamma rays from their nucleus to create a more stable atom. About 400 stable nuclei exist, however, there are 100’s of unstable nuclei and they break apart into other more stable particles. Radioactivity – the emission of particle(s) and energy from the nucleus that break it down into a less energetic and more stable nucleus. Nucleus before decay is called the ____ Parent ___ nucleus. Nucleus after decay is called the _____ Daughter ___ nucleus. All radiation gives off energy according to E = mc2 Three basic types of radiation: Alpha – () – a type of radiation that is composed of 2 protons and 2 neutrons – essentially a Helium nucleus. Charge = +2 Results in– decreasing the atomic number by 2 and decreasing the mass number by 4 84 Beta – () – 2 types of decays: the emission of particles that changes the atomic number but does not change the nucleon number. B- - (beta minus) – the emission of an electron and a small neutral particle called a neutrino (actually an anti-neutrino) Charge = -1 Results in – the decomposition of a neutron into a proton in the nucleus – increasing the atomic number by 1 B+ - (beta plus) – the emission of a positron and a neutrino Charge = +1 Occurs only when the available nuclear energy is > 2 mec2 = 2(0.511 MeV) = 1.022 MeV Results in – the decomposition of a proton into a neutron – decreasing the atomic number by 1 85 * Anti-matter – predicted by Schrodinger when he applied his wave equation to quantum mechanics. In this theory, all particles have an antiparticle, that when combined, annihilate each other and change their mass into energy. Positron – (e+) – an anti-electron - a particle that has the same mass, but opposite charge and magnetic moment of the electron. Gamma – () – the emission of gamma ray photons by an excited (more energetic) state of an atom. The nucleus re-arranges itself more compactly. Charge = no charge Results in – a less energetic nucleus. the nucleus rearranges itself making it more stable and compact in the nucleus – it loses energy in this process which emits a high energy photon. Conceptually: Neutrons and protons are touching but not in the most stable state Neutrons and protons squeeze together more compactly decreasing their distance of separation Assign. HW Ch.22: 10, 13, 14, 17, 18 86 Recall balancing reaction equations in Chemistry – Do you remember the rules that were used to balance the equation? The same basic rules apply to nuclear equations as well. (sometimes referred to as nuclear chemistry) Energy/ Mass Conservation: The total amount of energy, including the rest energy of mass before a nuclear reaction, is equal to the total amount afterwards. Charge conservation: The net-charge before a nuclear reaction is equal to the net-charge afterwards. Spin (magnetic moment) Conservation: every particle has a certain magnetic value or spin. The net-magnetic moments of the particles before a reaction, is equal to the net-magnetic moments afterwards. * not specifically covered in this text. U ?

Decay Series Animation Assign. HW Ch.22: 11 89 When will an unstable atom decay? It is all based on probability. No one knows exactly when the decay will occur, but when a large number of atoms are present, you can measure when a decay will most likely occur based on an average. A probability of decay gives a better idea when a larger number of these atoms are present Becquerel - (Bq) – SI unit of activity – the rate of decays per unit time = 1 decay/ second. Atomic Decay Animation rate of decays / second Curie - (Ci) – original unit of decay = 3.7 x 1010 Bq, is approximately the activity of 1 g of radium. 1 Ci = 3.7 x 1010 Bq Half-Life – (T1/2) – the time it takes ½ of the atoms in a sample to decay into a daughter atom. 1 T1/2 = 1/2 of the atoms are still present 2 T1/2 = 1/4 of the atoms are still present 3 T1/2 = 1/8 of the atoms are still present Equation for finding half-life: T1 / 2 ln 2 Where, , is the decay constant for the specific type of atom. 90 How to find the value of N Nt t is the time period for the decays N is the number of parent nuclei N is the number of daughter nuclei or the number of parent nuclei that have decayed A larger decay constant (the rate of change will be quicker. A smaller decay constant (the rate of change will be slower. Rearranging the equation gives: N N activity t Activity is the rate of decays per unit of time = Becquerel Integrating both sides of this equation over a period of time (t) gives: N f Ni e Nf is the number of nuclei left after a period of time -t t Ni is the number of original parent nuclei Calculate the activity of Ra-226 whose half-life is 5.0 x 1010 s, and beginning with 3.0 x 1016 atoms.

HW Ch.22: 15, 16, 22-24, 44, 45 91 Modified from http://www.albany.edu/faculty/jae/quarknet/html/soda.html Purpose: to demonstrate that the bubbles, made by pouring a fresh bottle of Fanta or Coke, pop randomly and thus the foam head decays exponentially just as particles decay randomly. Materials: bottle of Fanta, Coca-Cola, or other soda, funnel if necessary, graduated cylinder, foam drinking cup, dry erase markers, stopwatch, scientific calculator Procedure: Each lab group needs at least three students: one to pour the soda and time, and two observers to mark the top and bottom of the foam at time intervals. 1. Set up the graduated cylinder with a funnel over it as shown. 2. Using soda from a foam cup, pour soda into the graduated cylinder quickly but carefully to create a lot of soda foam. Mark the top and bottom of the foam immediately and begin timing. 3. The timer calls “Go!” every 5 sec. At each call from the timer, the observers mark the volume at the top of the foam and at the bottom of the foam on the graduated cylinder using a dry erase marker. 4. The observers mark down the volumes every 5 sec. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, continue until the foam is just about all gone. 6. Students should find the volume of the foam for each time entered by subtracting the bottom volume from the top volume. They should then calculate V/Vi , where Vi is the first recorded volume of the foam. 7. Calculate the natural logarithm of the volume fraction, ln (V/Vi ). 8. Graph your data on the computer and use a best fit graph, exponential decay, for your first set of data and Linear, for ln(V/Vi), for the second set. With the data recorded, students should graph V/VO as a function of time. They should attempt to verify that the curve is similar to exponential decay and try to calculate the half-life from the curve by finding the time at which the value of V/Vi is equal to 0.5 . They should also graph ln (V/Vi ) as a function of time. If the decay is a true exponential, this graph should be a straight line with a negative slope. The negative of the slope = the decay constant for that soda.

Use your decay equation: T1 / 2 ln 2 of your soda foam in pops/sec. Each mL of foam has approx. 1400 bubbles. Act. = N, where N is the number of bubbles: 93 What happens when two atomic nuclei interact? This occurs naturally as well as artificially. When close enough, the strong nuclear force will attract the other nuclei and will combine into one. The new atom will most likely be unstable and emit radiation or other types of particles.

The free neutrons then react with other uranium-235 atoms which fission as well creating a chain reaction. Uranium-238 absorbs neutrons without fissioning, therefore uranium ore is processed to increase the percentage of uranium-235. 95 Breeder Reactors are designed to increase nuclear fuel efficiency. The energy that would be normally lost by free neutrons is absorbed by other atoms to create new fissile fuel. This results in less radioactive waste.

HW Ch.22: 12, 19 – 21, 32, 37 - 40 98 n Protons and electrons were once considered to be the elementary particles that make up all matter. Protons are now thought to be composed of dimensionless elementary particles called quarks. How many different particles do you think have been currently recorded? +300 different particles have been catalogued; this includes matter, antimatter, and field particles. Review of the 4 Natural Forces Mediating Particle Strong Nuclear Force Electromagnet ic Force Weak Nuclear Force Gravity Range ~ 1 fm Relative Strength 1 Infinite 10-2 ~10-2 fm 10-13 Infinite 10-38 According to particle physics, the process of force is mediated by the exchange of virtual or short lived massive particles. (Quantum Electrodynamics – QED) A virtual photon is seen as the force exchanger between charged particles An attractive force can be seen as a “boomerang” from particles coming from infinity If given enough energy “virtual” photons can become real – i.e. light 99 Matter Hadrons Leptons Baryons Mesons Anti-Matter – particles that have the same properties as regular matter but have opposite spin and charge. Electron – an elementary dimensionless particle with a negative charge, it does not interact with the strong nuclear force. Positron – an anti-electron, it has a positive charge. when matter and anti-matter meet they annihilate each other creating high energy photons Leptons – considered elementary particles that are influenced only by three of the natural forces but not the strong nuclear force. Muons – have the same charge as an electron and significantly more mass, however are very short lived and will disintegrate. No measurable size Leptons No internal structure Electron Muon Tau Electron neutrino Muon neutrino Tau neutrino Note: each particle has a corresponding anti-particle. 100 Hadrons – particles that have an internal structure, composed of a combination of elementary particles called quarks. They are influenced by all of the natural forces.

Therefore quarks will always appear in pairs or triplets maintaining whole numbers of elementary charge. Ripping apart a baryon (3 quarks) creates a meson (2 quarks) Proton D U D D U U U High Energy Photon Pion U Neutron D D U D * by E=mc2, the energy required to remove a quark (up quark) is greater than twice the rest energy of a quark. Upon colliding with the high energy photon, the energy is converted into a quark and its corresponding anti-quark – in this example a proton is converted into a neutron and pion. Compare the net-charges of the proton, neutron, and pion using the charges of their corresponding quarks: Proton = -1/3e + 2/3e + 2/3e = +1e, Neutron = -1/3e – 1/3e + 2/3e = 0e, Pion = +1/3e + 2/3 e = +1e Assign - HW Ch. 22: 25 - 31 102 103 Class Activity: Draw and Color a picture on white construction paper using only these colors: Red, Blue, Green, What happens when the pictures you made are viewed under specific colors of light?
