Consider a neutron star with a mass of $\quad 2.0 .10^{30} \mathrm{~kg}$, an average radius of $\quad 1.0 .10^{4} \mathrm{~m}$, and a rotation period of $2.0 .10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}$. a - Calculate the flattening factor, given that the gravitational constant is $6.67 .10^{-11}$ N. m ${ }^{2} . \mathrm{kg}^{-2}$.
$3,7.10^{-4}$
For equilibrium we have $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{c}}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{g}}+\mathrm{N}$ where N is normal to the surface. Resolving into horizontal and vertical components, we find: $$ \begin{gathered} F_{g} \cdot \cos (\phi)=F_{c}+N \cdot \sin (\alpha) \\ \quad F_{g} \cdot \sin (\phi)=N \cdot \cos (\alpha) \end{gathered} \rightarrow F_{g} \cdot \cos (\phi)=F_{c}+F_{g} \cdot \sin (\phi) \cdot \operatorname{tg}(\alpha) $$ From: $$ F_{g}=\frac{G \cdot M}{r^{2}}, \quad F_{c}=\omega^{2} \cdot r, \quad x=r \cdot \cos (\phi), \quad y=r \cdot \sin (\phi) \text { en } \operatorname{tg}(\alpha)=\frac{d y}{d x} $$ we find: $$ y \cdot d y+\left(1-\frac{\omega^{2} \cdot r^{3}}{G \cdot M}\right) \cdot x \cdot d x=0 $$ where: $$ \frac{\omega^{2} . r^{3}}{G . M} \approx 7.10^{-4} $$ This means that, although r depends on x and y , the change in the factor in front of xdx is so slight that we can take it to be constant. The solution of Eq. (1) is then an ellipse: $$ \frac{x^{2}}{r_{e}^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{r_{p}^{2}}=1 \rightarrow \frac{r_{p}}{r_{e}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{\omega^{2} \cdot r^{3}}{G \cdot M}} \approx 1-\frac{\omega^{2} \cdot r^{3}}{2 \cdot G \cdot M} $$ and from this it follows that: $$ \epsilon=\frac{r_{e}-r_{p}}{r_{e}}=\frac{\omega^{2} \cdot r^{3}}{2 . G . M} \approx 3,7.10^{-4} $$

In the long run (over many years) the rotation of the star slows down, due to energy loss, and this leads to a decrease in the flattening. The star has however a solid crust that floats on a liquid interior. The solid crust resists a continuous adjustment to equilibrium shape. Instead, starquakes occur with sudden changes in the shape of the crust towards equilibrium. During and after such a star-quake the angular velocity is observed to change according to figure 1. <image> Figure 1 time (days) --> A sudden change in the shape of the crust of a neutron star results in a sudden change of the angular velocity. b - Calculate the average radius of the liquid interior, using the data of Fig. 1. Make the approximation that the densities of the crust and the interior are the same. (Ignore the change in shape of the interior).

For a point mass of 1 kg on the surface, $$ U_{p o t}=-\frac{G \cdot M}{r} \quad U_{k i n}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \omega^{2} \cdot r^{2} \cdot \cos ^{2}(\phi) $$ The form of the surface is such that $\mathrm{U}_{\text {pot }}-\mathrm{U}_{\text {kin }}=$ constant. For the equator ( $\Phi=0$, $r=r_{e}$ ) and for the pole ( $\Phi=\pi / 2, r=r_{p}$ ) we have: $$ \frac{G . M}{r_{p}}=\frac{G . M}{r_{e}}+\frac{1}{2} \cdot \omega^{2} \cdot r_{e}^{2} \rightarrow \frac{r_{e}}{r_{p}}=1+\frac{\omega^{2} \cdot r_{e}^{3}}{2 . G . M} $$ Thus: $$ \epsilon=\frac{r_{e}-r_{p}}{r_{e}}=\frac{1+\frac{\omega^{2} \cdot r_{e}^{3}}{2 \cdot G \cdot M}-1}{1+\frac{\omega^{2} \cdot r_{e}^{3}}{2 \cdot G \cdot M}} \approx \frac{\omega^{2} \cdot r_{e}^{3}}{2 \cdot G \cdot M} \approx 3,7 \cdot 10^{-4} $$ b - As a consequence of the star-quake, the moment of inertia of the crust $I_{m}$ decreases by $\Delta I_{m}$. From the conservation of angular momentum, we have: $$ I_{m} \cdot \omega_{0}=\left(I_{m}-\Delta I_{m}\right) \cdot \omega_{1} \quad \rightarrow \quad \Delta I_{m}=I_{m} \cdot \frac{\omega_{1}-\omega_{0}}{\omega_{1}} $$ After the internal friction has equalized the angular velocities of the crust and the core, we have: $$ \begin{gathered} \left(I_{m}+I_{c}\right) \cdot \omega_{0}=\left(I_{m}+I_{c}-\Delta I_{m}\right) \cdot \omega_{2} \rightarrow \Delta I_{m}=\left(I_{m}+I_{c}\right) \cdot \frac{\omega_{2}-\omega_{0}}{\omega_{2}} \\ \frac{I_{m}}{I_{m}+I_{c}}=\frac{\left(\omega_{2}-\omega_{0}\right) \cdot \omega_{1}}{\left(\omega_{1}-\omega_{0}\right) \cdot \omega_{2}} \rightarrow 1-\frac{I_{c}}{I_{m}+I_{c}}=\frac{\left(\omega_{2}-\omega_{0}\right) \cdot \omega_{1}}{\left(\omega_{1}-\omega_{0}\right) \cdot \omega_{2}} \\ I(:) R^{2} \\ \rightarrow \frac{I_{c}}{I_{m}+I_{c}}=\frac{r_{c}^{2}}{r^{2}} \rightarrow \frac{r_{c}}{r}=\sqrt{1-\frac{\left(\omega_{2}-\omega_{0}\right) \cdot \omega_{1}}{\left(\omega_{1}-\omega_{0}\right) \cdot \omega_{2}}} \approx 0.95 \end{gathered} $$

An electron after leaving a device, which accelerated it with the potential difference $U$, falls into a region with an inhomogeneous field $\boldsymbol{B}$ generated with a system of stationary coils $L_{1}, L_{2}, \ldots, L_{n}$. The known currents in the coils are $i_{1}, i_{2}, \ldots, i_{n}$, respectively. What should the currents $i_{1}{ }^{\prime}, i_{2}{ }^{\prime}, \ldots, i_{n}$ ' in the coils $L_{1}, L_{2}, \ldots, L_{n}$ be, in order to guide the proton (initially accelerated with the potential difference $-U$ ) along the same trajectory (and in the same direction) as that of the electron?
$$ i^{\prime}{ }_{n}=-35.0 i_{n} . $$
At the beginning one should notice that the kinetic energy of the electron accelerated with the potential difference $U=511 \mathrm{kV}$ equals to its rest energy $E_{0}$. Therefore, at least in the case of the electron, the laws of the classical physics cannot be applied. It is necessary to use relativistic laws. The relativistic equation of motion of a particle with the charge $e$ in the magnetic field B has the following form: $$ \frac{d}{d t} \mathbf{p}=\mathbf{F}_{L} $$ where $\mathbf{p}=m_{0} \gamma \mathbf{v}$ denotes the momentum of the particle (vector) and $$ \mathbf{F}_{L}=e \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} $$ is the Lorentz force (its value is $e v B$ and its direction is determined with the right hand rule). $m_{0}$ denotes the (rest) mass of the particle and $v$ denotes the velocity of the particle. The quantity $\gamma$ is given by the formula: $$ \gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}} $$ The Lorentz force $\mathbf{F}_{L}$ is perpendicular to the velocity $\mathbf{v}$ of the particle and to its momentum $\mathbf{p}=m_{0} \gamma \mathbf{v}$. Hence, $$ \mathbf{F}_{L} \cdot \mathbf{v}=\mathbf{F}_{L} \cdot \mathbf{p}=0 . $$ Multiplying the equation of motion by $\mathbf{p}$ and making use of the hint given in the text of the problem, we get: $$ \frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{d t} p^{2}=0 . $$ It means that the value of the particle momentum (and the value of the velocity) is constant during the motion: $$ p=m_{0} v \gamma=\text { const; } \quad v=\text { const. } $$ The same result can be obtained without any formulae in the following way: The Lorentz force $\mathbf{F}_{L}$ is perpendicular to the velocity $\mathbf{v}$ (and to the momentum $p$ as $\mathbf{p}=m_{0} \gamma \mathbf{v}$ ) and, as a consequence, to the trajectory of the particle. Therefore, there is no force that could change the component of the momentum tangent to the trajectory. Thus, this component, whose value is equal to the length of $\mathbf{p}$, should be constant: $\mathbf{p}=$ const. (The same refers to the component of the velocity tangent to the trajectory as $\mathbf{p}=m_{0} \gamma \mathbf{v}$ ). Let $s$ denotes the path passed by the particle along the trajectory. From the definition of the velocity, we have: $$ \frac{d s}{d t}=v . $$ Using this formula, we can rewrite the equation of motion as follows: $$ \begin{gathered} v \frac{d}{d s} \mathbf{p}=\frac{d s}{d t} \frac{d}{d s} \mathbf{p}=\frac{d}{d t} \mathbf{p}=\mathbf{F}_{L} \\ \frac{d}{d s} \mathbf{p}=\frac{\mathbf{F}_{L}}{v} \end{gathered} $$ Dividing this equation by $p$ and making use of the fact that $p=$ const, we obtain: $$ v \frac{d}{d s} \frac{\mathbf{p}}{p}=\frac{\mathbf{F}_{L}}{v p} $$ and hence $$ \frac{d}{d s} \mathbf{t}=\frac{\mathbf{F}_{L}}{v p} $$ where $\mathbf{t}=\mathbf{p} / p=\mathbf{v} / v$ is the versor (unit vector) tangent to the trajectory. The above equation is exactly the same for both electrons and protons if and only if the vector quantity: $$ \frac{\mathbf{F}_{L}}{v p} $$ is the same in both cases. Denoting corresponding quantities for protons with the same symbols as for the electrons, but with primes, one gets that the condition, under which both electrons and protons can move along the same trajectory, is equivalent to the equality: $$ \frac{\mathbf{F}_{L}}{v p}=\frac{\mathbf{F}_{L}^{\prime}}{v^{\prime} p^{\prime}} . $$ However, the Lorentz force is proportional to the value of the velocity of the particle, and the directions of any two vectors of the following three: $\mathbf{t}$ (or $\mathbf{v}$ ), $\mathbf{F}_{\mathrm{L}}, \mathbf{B}$ determine the direction of the third of them (right hand rule). Therefore, the above condition can be written in the following form: $$ \frac{e \mathbf{B}}{p}=\frac{e^{\prime} \mathbf{B}^{\prime}}{p^{\prime}} $$ Hence, $$ \mathbf{B}^{\prime}=\frac{e}{e^{\prime}} \frac{p^{\prime}}{p} \mathbf{B}=\frac{p^{\prime}}{p} \mathbf{B} $$ This means that at any point the direction of the field $\mathbf{B}$ should be conserved, its orientation should be changed into the opposite one, and the value of the field should be multiplied by the same factor $p^{\prime} / p$. The magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ is a vector sum of the magnetic fields of the coils that are arbitrarily distributed in the space. Therefore, each of this fields should be scaled with the same factor $-p^{\prime} / p$. However, the magnetic field of any coil is proportional to the current flowing in it. This means that the required scaling of the fields can only be achieved by the scaling of all the currents with the same factor $-p^{\prime} / p$ : $$ i_{n}^{\prime}=-\frac{p^{\prime}}{p} i_{n} $$ Now we shall determine the ratio $p^{\prime} / p$. The kinetic energies of the particles in both cases are the same; they are equal to $E_{k}=e|U|=511 \mathrm{keV}$. The general relativistic relation between the total energy $E$ of the particle with the rest energy $E_{0}$ and its momentum $p$ has the following form: $$ E^{2}=E_{0}^{2}+p^{2} c^{2} $$ where c denotes the velocity of light. The total energy of considered particles is equal to the sum of their rest and kinetic energies: $$ E=E_{0}+E_{k} . $$ Using these formulae and knowing that in our case $E_{k}=e|U|=E_{e}$, we determine the momenta of the electrons ( $p$ ) and the protons ( $p^{\prime}$ ). We get: a) electrons: $$ \begin{gathered} \left(E_{e}+E_{e}\right)^{2}=E_{e}^{2}+p^{2} c^{2} \\ p=\frac{E_{e}}{c} \sqrt{3} \end{gathered} $$ b) protons $$ \begin{gathered} \left(E_{p}+E_{e}\right)^{2}=E_{p}^{2}+p^{\prime 2} c^{2} \\ p^{\prime}=\frac{E_{e}}{c} \sqrt{\left(\frac{E_{p}}{E_{e}}+1\right)^{2}-\left(\frac{E_{p}}{E_{e}}\right)^{2}} \end{gathered} $$ Hence, $$ \frac{p^{\prime}}{p}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \sqrt{\left(\frac{E_{p}}{E}+1\right)^{2}-\left(\frac{E_{p}}{E_{e}}\right)^{2}} \approx 35.0 $$ and $$ i^{\prime}{ }_{n}=-35.0 i_{n} . $$ It is worthwhile to notice that our protons are 'almost classical', because their kinetic energy $E_{k}\left(=E_{e}\right)$ is small compared to the proton rest energy $E_{p}$. Thus, one can expect that the momentum of the proton can be determined, with a good accuracy, from the classical considerations. We have: $$ \begin{gathered} E_{e}=E_{k}=\frac{p^{\prime 2}}{2 m_{p}}=\frac{p^{\prime 2} c^{2}}{2 m_{p} c^{2}}=\frac{p^{\prime 2} c^{2}}{2 E_{p}}, \\ p^{\prime}=\frac{1}{c} \sqrt{2 E_{e} E_{p}} . \end{gathered} $$ On the other hand, the momentum of the proton determined from the relativistic formulae can be written in a simpler form since $E_{\mathrm{p}} / E_{\mathrm{e}} » 1$. We get: $$ p^{\prime}=\frac{E_{e}}{c} \sqrt{\left(\frac{E_{p}}{E_{e}}+1\right)^{2}-\left(\frac{E_{p}}{E_{e}}\right)^{2}}=\frac{E_{e}}{c} \sqrt{2 \frac{E_{p}}{E_{e}}+1} \approx \frac{E_{e}}{c} \sqrt{2 \frac{E_{p}}{E_{e}}}=\frac{1}{c} \sqrt{2 E_{e} E_{p}} . $$ In accordance with our expectations, we have obtained the same result as above.

How many times would the resolving power of the above microscope increase or decrease if the electron beam were replaced with the proton beam? Assume that the resolving power of the microscope (i.e. the smallest distance between two point objects whose circular images can be just separated) depends only on the wave properties of the particles.
35
The resolving power of the microscope (in the meaning mentioned in the text of the problem) is proportional to the wavelength, in our case to the length of the de Broglie wave: $$ \lambda=\frac{h}{p} $$ where $h$ denotes the Planck constant and $p$ is the momentum of the particle. We see that $\lambda$ is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particle. Therefore, after replacing the electron beam with the proton beam the resolving power will be changed by the factor $p / p^{\prime} \approx 1 / 35$. It means that our proton microscope would allow observation of the objects about 35 times smaller than the electron microscope.

Consider two liquids A and B insoluble in each other. The pressures $p_{i}(i=\mathrm{A}$ or B$)$ of their saturated vapors obey, to a good approximation, the formula: $$ \ln \left(p_{i} / p_{o}\right)=\frac{\alpha_{i}}{T}+\beta_{i} ; \quad i=\mathrm{A} \text { or } \mathrm{B}, $$ where $p_{o}$ denotes the normal atmospheric pressure, $T-$ the absolute temperature of the vapor, and $\alpha_{i}$ and $\beta_{i}(i=\mathrm{A}$ or B$)-$ certain constants depending on the liquid. (The symbol ln denotes the natural logarithm, i.e. logarithm with base $e=2.7182818 \ldots$ ) The values of the ratio $p_{i} / p_{0}$ for the liquids A and B at the temperature $40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ are given in Tab. 1.1. Table 1.1 | $t\left[{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right]$ | $p_{i} / p_{0}$ | | | :---: | :---: | :---: | | | $i=\mathrm{A}$ | $i=\mathrm{B}$ | | 40 | 0.284 | 0.07278 | | 90 | 1.476 | 0.6918 | The errors of these values are negligible. A. Determine the boiling temperatures of the liquids A under the pressure $p_{0}$. ( unit: $\circ \mathrm{C}$ )

The liquid boils when the pressure of its saturated vapor is equal to the external pressure. Thus, in order to find the boiling temperature of the liquid $i(i-\mathrm{A}$ or B$)$, one should determine such a temperature $T_{b i}$ (or $t_{b i}$ ) for which $p_{i} / p_{0}=1$. Then $\ln \left(p_{i} / p_{0}\right)=0$, and we have: $$ T_{b i}=-\frac{\alpha_{i}}{\beta_{i}} . $$ The coefficients $\alpha_{i}$ and $\beta_{i}$ are not given explicitly. However, they can be calculated from the formula given in the text of the problem. For this purpose one should make use of the numerical data given in the Tab. 1.1. For the liquid A , we have: $$ \begin{aligned} & \ln 0.284=\frac{\alpha_{A}}{(40+273.15) \mathrm{K}}+\beta_{A}, \\ & \ln 1.476=\frac{\alpha_{A}}{(90+273.15) \mathrm{K}}+\beta_{A} . \end{aligned} $$ After subtraction of these equations, we get: $$ \begin{gathered} \ln 0.284-\ln 1.476=\alpha_{A}\left(\frac{1}{40+273.15}-\frac{1}{90+273.15}\right) \mathrm{K}^{-1} \\ \alpha_{A}=\frac{\ln \frac{0.284}{1.476}}{\frac{1}{40+273.15}-\frac{1}{90+273.15}} \mathrm{~K} \approx-3748.49 \mathrm{~K} \end{gathered} $$ Hence, $$ \beta_{A}=\ln 0.284-\frac{\alpha_{A}}{(40+273.15) \mathrm{K}} \approx 10.711 . $$ Thus, the boiling temperature of the liquid A is equal to $$ T_{b A}=3748.49 \mathrm{~K} / 10.711 \approx 349.95 \mathrm{~K} . $$ In the Celsius scale the boiling temperature of the liquid A is $$ t_{b A}=(349.95-273.15)^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=76.80^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \approx 77^{\circ} \mathrm{C} . $$

A cylindrical wheel of uniform density, having the mass $\mathrm{M}=0,40 \mathrm{~kg}$, the radius $\mathrm{R}=0,060 \mathrm{~m}$ and the thickness $\mathrm{d}=0,010 \mathrm{~m}$ is suspended by means of two light strings of the same length from the ceiling.

$A$ beam of electrons emitted by a point source $P$ enters the magnetic field $\vec{B}$ of a toroidal coil (toroid) in the direction of the lines of force. The angle of the aperture of the beam $2 \cdot \alpha_{0}$ is assumed to be small ( $2 \cdot \alpha_{0} \ll 1$ ). The injection of the electrons occurs on the mean radius R of the toroid with acceleration voltage $\mathrm{V}_{0}$. Neglect any interaction between the electrons. The magnitude of $\vec{B}, B$, is assumed to be constant. <image>1. To guide the electron in the toroidal field a homogeneous magnetic deflection field $\vec{B}_{1}$ is required. Calculate $\vec{B}_{1}$ for an electron moving on a circular orbit of radius $R$ in the torus. ( unit: $\frac{\mathrm{Vs}}{\mathrm{~m}^{2}}$ )
$1.48 \cdot 10^{-2}$
Determination of B : The vector of the velocity of any electron is divided into components parallel with and perpendicular to the magnetic field $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}$ : $$ \vec{v}=\vec{v}_{\|}+\vec{v}_{\perp} $$ The Lorentz force $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=-\mathrm{e} \cdot(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})$ influences only the perpendicular component, it acts as a radial force: $$ \mathrm{m} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{v}_{\perp}{ }^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}=\mathrm{e} \cdot \mathrm{v}_{\perp} \cdot \mathrm{B} $$ Hence the radius of the circular path that has been travelled is $$ \mathrm{r}=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{e}} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{v}_{\perp}}{\mathrm{B}} $$ and the period of rotation which is independent of $\mathrm{v}_{\perp}$ is $$ \mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \cdot \pi \cdot \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{v}_{\perp}}=\frac{2 \cdot \pi \cdot \mathrm{~m}}{\mathrm{~B} \cdot \mathrm{e}} $$ The parallel component of the velocity does not vary. Because of $\alpha_{0} \ll 1$ it is approximately equal for all electrons: $$ \mathrm{V}_{\| 0}=\mathrm{V}_{0} \cdot \cos \alpha_{0} \approx \mathrm{~V}_{0} $$ Hence the distance b between the focusing points, using eq. (5), is $$ \mathrm{b}=\mathrm{v}_{\| 0} \cdot \mathrm{~T} \approx \mathrm{v}_{0} \cdot \mathrm{~T} $$ From the law of conservation of energy follows the relation between the acceleration voltage $\mathrm{V}_{0}$ and the velocity $\mathrm{v}_{0}$ : $$ \frac{m}{2} \cdot v_{0}^{2}=e \cdot V_{0} $$ Using eq. (7) and eq. (4) one obtains from eq. (6) $$ \mathrm{b}=\frac{2 \cdot \pi}{\mathrm{~B}} \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \frac{\mathrm{~m}}{\mathrm{e}} \cdot \mathrm{~V}_{0}} $$ and because of $b=\frac{2 \cdot \pi \cdot R}{4}$ one obtains $$ \mathrm{B}=\frac{4}{\mathrm{R}} \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot \frac{\mathrm{~m}}{\mathrm{e}} \cdot \mathrm{~V}_{0}}=1.48 \cdot 10^{-2} \frac{\mathrm{Vs}}{\mathrm{~m}^{2}} $$

The angle of the aperture of the beam $2 \cdot \alpha_{0}$ is assumed to be small ( $2 \cdot \alpha_{0} \ll 1$ ). The injection of the electrons occurs on the mean radius R of the toroid with acceleration voltage $\mathrm{V}_{0}$. Neglect any interaction between the electrons. The magnitude of $\vec{B}, B$, is assumed to be constant. <image> Determine the value of $\vec{B}$ which gives four focussing points separated by $\pi / 2$ as indicated in the diagram.

When sine waves propagate in an infinite LC-grid (see the figure below) the phase of the acvoltage across two successive capacitors differs by $\Phi$. <image>Determine how $\Phi$ depends on $\omega$, L and C ( $\omega$ is the angular frequency of the sine wave).

$$ \text { Current law: } \quad \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{n}-1}}+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}}}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{n}}}=0 $$ Voltage law: $\quad \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}-1}}+\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{n}-1}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}}}=0$ Capacitive voltage drop: $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}-1}}=\frac{1}{\omega \cdot \mathrm{C}} \cdot \tilde{\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}-1}}$ Note: In eq. (3) $\tilde{\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{n}-1}$ is used instead of $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}-1}}$ because the current leads the voltage by $90^{\circ}$. Inductive voltage drop: $\quad \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{n}-1}}=\omega \cdot \mathrm{L} \cdot \tilde{\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{n}-1}}$ Note: In eq. (4) $\tilde{I}_{L_{n-1}}$ is used instead of $I_{L_{n-1}}$ because the current lags behind the voltage by $90^{\circ}$. The voltage $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}}}$ is given by: $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}}}=\mathrm{V}_{0} \cdot \sin (\omega \cdot \mathrm{t}+\mathrm{n} \cdot \varphi)$ Formula (5) follows from the problem. From eq. (3) and eq. (5): $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}}}=\omega \cdot \mathrm{C} \cdot \mathrm{V}_{0} \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot \mathrm{t}+\mathrm{n} \cdot \varphi)$ From eq. (4) and eq. (2) and with eq. (5) $$ \begin{aligned} & I_{L_{n-1}}=\frac{V_{0}}{\omega \cdot L} \cdot\left[2 \cdot \sin \left(\omega \cdot t+\left(n-\frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \varphi\right) \cdot \sin \frac{\varphi}{2}\right] \\ & I_{L_{n}}=\frac{V_{0}}{\omega \cdot L} \cdot\left[2 \cdot \sin \left(\omega \cdot t+\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \varphi\right) \cdot \sin \frac{\varphi}{2}\right] \end{aligned} $$ Eqs. (6), (7) and (8) must satisfy the current law. This gives the dependence of $\varphi$ on $\omega, \mathrm{L}$ and C . $$ 0=\mathrm{V}_{0} \cdot \omega \cdot \mathrm{C} \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot \mathrm{t}+\mathrm{n} \cdot \varphi)+2 \cdot \frac{\mathrm{~V}_{0}}{\omega \cdot \mathrm{~L}} \cdot \sin \frac{\varphi}{2} \cdot\left[2 \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot \mathrm{t}+\mathrm{n} \cdot \varphi) \cdot \sin \left(-\frac{\varphi}{2}\right)\right] $$ This condition must be true for any instant of time. Therefore it is possible to divide by $\mathrm{V}_{0} \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot \mathrm{t}+\mathrm{n} \cdot \varphi)$. Hence $\omega^{2} \cdot \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{C}=4 \cdot \sin ^{2}\left(\frac{\varphi}{2}\right)$. The result is $$ \varphi=2 \cdot \arcsin \left(\frac{\omega \cdot \sqrt{\mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{C}}}{2}\right) \text { with } 0 \leq \omega \leq \frac{2}{\sqrt{\mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{C}}} $$

The distance $\ell$ is covered in the time $\Delta \mathrm{t}$ thus the propagation velocity is $$ \mathrm{v}=\frac{\ell}{\Delta \mathrm{t}}=\frac{\omega \cdot \ell}{\varphi} \quad \text { or } \quad \mathrm{v}=\frac{\omega \cdot \ell}{2 \cdot \arcsin \left(\frac{\omega \cdot \sqrt{\mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{C}}}{2}\right)} $$

When sine waves propagate in an infinite LC-grid (see the figure below) the phase of the acvoltage across two successive capacitors differs by $\Phi$. <image>State under what conditions the propagation velocity of the waves is almost independent of $\omega$. Determine the velocity in this case.
$\frac{\omega \cdot \sqrt{\mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{C}}}{2} \ll 1$ and $ \mathrm{v}_{0}=\frac{\ell}{\sqrt{\mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{C}}} $
Slightly dependent means arc $\sin \left(\frac{\omega \cdot \sqrt{\mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{C}}}{2}\right) \sim \omega$, since v is constant in that case. This is true only for small values of $\omega$. That means $\frac{\omega \cdot \sqrt{\mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{C}}}{2} \ll 1$ and therefore $$ \mathrm{v}_{0}=\frac{\ell}{\sqrt{\mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{C}}} $$

After an earthquake an observer measures the time delay between the arrival of the S wave, following the $P$ wave, as 2 minutes 11 seconds. Deduce the angular separation of the earthquake from the observer using the data given in Section (iii).(iii) Using the data $$ \begin{array}{ll} R & =6370 \mathrm{~km} \\ R_{C} & =3470 \mathrm{~km} \\ v_{C P} & =10.85 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \\ v_{S} & =6.31 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \\ v_{C P} & =9.02 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \end{array} $$
$114^{\circ}$
Using the result $t=\frac{2 r \sin \theta}{v}$ the time delay $\Delta t$ is given by $\Delta t=2 R \sin \theta\left[\frac{1}{v_{S}}-\frac{1}{v_{P}}\right]$ Substituting the given data $131=2(6370)\left[\frac{1}{6.31}-\frac{1}{10.85}\right] \sin \theta$ Therefore the angular separation of E and X is $2 \theta=17.84^{\circ}$ This result is less than $2 \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{R_{C}}{R}\right)=2 \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3470}{6370}\right)=114^{\circ}$ And consequently the seismic wave is not refracted through the core.

a) Let the electrical signals supplied to rods 1 and 2 be $E_{1}=E_{0} \cos \omega t$ and $E_{2}=E_{0} \cos (\omega t+\delta)$, respectively. The condition for a maximum signal in direction $\mathfrak{9}_{A}$ (Fig. 4) is: $$ \frac{2 \pi a}{\lambda} \sin 9_{A}-\delta=2 \pi N $$ and the condition for a minimum signal in direction $\vartheta_{B}$ : $$ \frac{2 \pi a}{\lambda} \sin 9_{B}-\delta=2 \pi N^{\prime}+\pi $$ where $N$ and $N^{\prime}$ are arbitrary integers. In addition, $\vartheta_{A}-\vartheta_{B}=\varphi$, where Fig. 4 $\varphi$ is given. The problem can now be formulated as follows: Find the parameters $a, 9_{A}, 9_{B}, \delta, N$, and $N^{\prime}$ satisfying the above equations such, that $a$ is minimum. We first eliminate $\delta$ by subtracting the second equation from the first one: $$ a \sin \vartheta_{A}-a \sin \vartheta_{B}=\lambda\left(N-N^{\prime}-\frac{1}{2}\right) . $$ Using the sine addition theorem and the relation $\vartheta_{B}=\vartheta_{A}-\varphi$ : $$ 2 a \cos \left(9_{A}-\frac{1}{2} \varphi\right) \sin \frac{1}{2} \varphi=\lambda\left(N-N^{\prime}-\frac{1}{2}\right) $$ or $$ a=\frac{\lambda\left(N-N^{\prime}-\frac{1}{2}\right)}{2 \cos \left(\vartheta_{A}-\frac{1}{2} \varphi\right) \sin \frac{1}{2} \varphi} . $$ The minimum of $a$ is obtained for the greatest possible value of the denominator, i. e.: $$ \cos \left(\vartheta_{A}-\frac{1}{2} \varphi\right)=1, \quad \vartheta_{A}=\frac{1}{2} \varphi $$ and the minimum value of the numerator, i. e.: $$ N-N^{\prime}=1 . $$ The solution is therefore: $$ a=\frac{\lambda}{4 \sin \frac{1}{2} \varphi}, \quad \mathcal{G}_{A}=\frac{1}{2} \varphi, \quad \mathcal{G}_{B}=-\frac{1}{2} \varphi \quad \text { and } \quad \delta=\frac{1}{2} \pi-2 \pi N $$ ( $\mathrm{N}=0$ can be assumed throughout without loosing any physically relevant solution.)

In the origin of the $O x$ axis is placed a perfectly reflecting wall. A friction force, with a constant modulus $F_{f}=1,00 \mathrm{~N}$, acts everywhere on the particle. The particle starts from the point $x=x_{0}=1,00 \mathrm{~m}$ having the kinetic energy $E_{c}=10,0 \mathrm{~J}$. a. Find the length of the path of the particle until its' final stop ( unit: m ) <image>

a. It is possible to make a model of the situation in the problem, considering the Ox axis vertically oriented having the wall in its' lower part. The conservative force $F_{x}$ could be the weight of the particle. One may present the motion of the particle as the vertical motion of a small elastic ball elastically colliding with the ground and moving with constant friction through the medium. The friction force is smaller than the weight. The potential energy of the particle can be represented in analogy to the gravitational potential energy of the ball, $m \cdot g \cdot h$, considering $m \cdot g=\left|F_{x}\right| ; h=x$. As is very well known, in the field of a conservative force, the variation of the potential energy depends only on the initial and final positions of the particle, being independent of the path between those positions. For the situation in the problem, when the particle moves towards the wall, the force acting on it is directed towards the wall and has the modulus I $$ \begin{aligned} & F_{\leftarrow}=\left|F_{x}\right|-F_{f} \\ & F_{\leftarrow}=9 \mathrm{~N} \end{aligned} $$ As a consequence, the motion of the particle towards the wall is a motion with a constant acceleration having the modulus $$ a_{\leftarrow}=\frac{F_{\leftarrow}}{m}=\frac{\left|F_{x}\right|-F_{f}}{m} $$ During the motion, the speed of the particle increases. Hitting the wall, the particle starts moving in opposite direction with a speed equal in modulus with the one it had before the collision. When the particle moves away from the wall, in the positive direction of the $O x$ axis, the acting force is again directed towards to the wall and has the magnitude $$ \begin{aligned} & F_{\rightarrow}=\left|F_{x}\right|+F_{f} \\ & F_{\rightarrow}=11 \mathrm{~N} \end{aligned} $$ Correspondingly, the motion of the particle from the wall is slowed down and the magnitude of the acceleration is $$ a_{\rightarrow}=\frac{F_{\rightarrow}}{m}=\frac{\left|F_{x}\right|+F_{f}}{m} $$ During this motion, the speed of the particle diminishes to zero. Because during the motion a force acts on the particle, the body cannot have an equilibrium position in any point on axis - the origin making an exception as the potential energy vanishes there. The particle can definitively stop only in this point. The work of a conservative force from the point having the coordinate $x_{0}=0$ to the point $x, L_{0 \rightarrow x}$ is correlated with the variation of the potential energy of the particle $U(x)-U(0)$ as follows $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} U(x)-U(0)=-L_{0 \rightarrow x} \\ U(x)-U(0)=-\int_{0}^{x} \vec{F}_{x} \cdot \overrightarrow{d x}=\int_{0}^{x}\left|F_{x}\right| \cdot d x=\left|F_{x}\right| \cdot x \end{array}\right. $$ Admitting that the potential energy of the particle vanishes for $x=0$, the initial potential energy of the particle $U\left(x_{0}\right)$ in the field of conservative force $$ F_{x}(x)=F_{0} $$ can be written $$ U\left(x_{0}\right)=\left|F_{0}\right| \cdot x_{0} $$ The initial kinetic energy $E\left(x_{0}\right)$ of the particle is - as given $$ E\left(x_{0}\right)=E_{c} $$ and, consequently the total energy of the particle $W\left(x_{0}\right)$ is $$ W\left(x_{0}\right)=U\left(x_{0}\right)+E_{c} $$ The draw up of the particle occurs when the total energy of the particle is entirely exhausted by the work of the friction force. The distance covered by the particle before it stops, $D$, obeys $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} W\left(x_{0}\right)=D \cdot F_{f} \\ U\left(x_{0}\right)+E_{c}=D \cdot F_{f} \\ \left|F_{x}\right| \cdot x_{0}+E_{c}=D \cdot F_{f} \end{array}\right. $$ so that , $D=\frac{\left|F_{x}\right| \cdot x_{0}+E_{c}}{F_{f}}$ and D $=20 \mathrm{~m}$ The relations (1.13) and (1.14) represent the answer to the question I.a.

That is $$ \lambda=1194 \mathrm{~nm} $$ or $$ \lambda \cong 1,2 \mu m $$ The relation (3.26) represents the answer of question $\mathbf{d}$.

A photon of wavelength $\lambda_{i}$ is scattered by a moving, free electron. As a result the electron stops and the resulting photon of wavelength $\lambda_{0}$ scattered at an angle $\theta=60^{\circ}$ with respect to the direction of the incident photon, is again scattered by a second free electron at rest. In this second scattering process a photon with wavelength of $\lambda_{f}=1,25 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$ emerges at an angle $\theta=60^{\circ}$ with respect to the direction of the photon of wavelength $\lambda_{0}$. Find the de Broglie wavelength for the first electron before the interaction. The following constants are known: $h=6,6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \cdot \mathrm{~s}$ - Planck's constant $m=9,1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$ - mass oh the electron $c=3,0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ - speed of light in vacuum ( unit: m )
$1,24 \times 10^{-10} $
The purpose of the problem is to calculate the values of the speed, momentum and wavelength of the first electron.

For initial, free electron in motion the momentum $\vec{p}_{o e}$ and the energy $E_{o e}$ are $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \vec{P}_{o e}=m \cdot \vec{v}_{1 e}=\frac{m_{0} \cdot \vec{v}_{1 e}}{\sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}} \\ E_{o e}=m \cdot c^{2}=\frac{m_{0} \cdot c^{2}}{\sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}} \end{array}\right. $$ where $m_{0}$ is the rest mass of electron and $m$ is the mass of moving electron. As usual, $\beta=\frac{V_{1 e}}{c}$. De Broglie wavelength of the first electron is $\lambda_{\text {oe }}=\frac{h}{p_{0 e}}=\frac{h \cdot}{m_{0} \cdot v_{1 e}} \sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}$ The situation after the scattering of photon is described in the figure 4.2. To characterize the scattered photon we will use his momentum $\vec{p}_{0}$ and his energy $E_{0}$ $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\vec{P}_{0}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{0}}=\frac{h \cdot f_{0}}{c} \\ E_{0}=h \cdot f_{0}\end{array}\right.$ where $f_{0}=\frac{C}{\lambda_{0}}$ is the frequency of scattered photon. The magnitude of momentum of the electron ( that remains in rest) after the scattering is zero; his energy is $E_{1 e}$. The mass of electron after collision is $m_{0}$ - the rest mass of electron at rest. So, $E_{1 e}=m_{0} \cdot c^{2}$ To determine the moment of the first moving electron, one can write the principles of conservation of moments and energy. That is $\vec{P}_{i}+\vec{p}_{\text {oe }}=\vec{p}_{0}$ and $E_{i}+E_{0 e}=E_{0}+E_{1 e}$ The conservation of moment on $O x$ direction is written as $\frac{h \cdot f_{i}}{c}+m \cdot v_{1 e} \cdot \cos \alpha=\frac{h \cdot f_{0}}{c} \cos \theta$ and the conservation of moment on $O y$ is $m \cdot v_{1 e} \cdot \sin \alpha=\frac{h \cdot f_{0}}{c} \sin \theta$ To eliminate $\alpha$, the last two equation must be written again as $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\left(m \cdot v_{1 e} \cdot \cos \alpha\right)^{2}=\frac{h^{2} \cdot}{c^{2}}\left(f_{0} \cdot \cos \theta-f_{i}\right)^{2} \\ \left(m \cdot v_{1 e} \cdot \sin \alpha\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{h \cdot f_{0}}{c} \sin \theta\right)^{2}\end{array}\right.$ and then added. The result is $m^{2} \cdot v_{1 e}^{2}=\frac{h^{2} \cdot}{c^{2}}\left(f_{0}^{2}+f_{1}^{2}-2 f_{0} \cdot f_{i} \cdot \cos \theta\right)$ or $\frac{m_{0}^{2} \cdot c^{2}}{1-\left(\frac{v_{1 e}}{c}\right)^{2}} \cdot v_{1 e}^{2}=h^{2} \cdot\left(f_{0}^{2}+f_{1}^{2}-2 f_{0} \cdot f_{i} \cdot \cos \theta\right)$ The conservation of energy (4.7) can be written again as $m \cdot c^{2}+h \cdot f_{1}=m_{0} \cdot c^{2}+h \cdot f_{0}$ or $\frac{m_{0} \cdot c^{2}}{\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{v_{1 e}}{c}\right)^{2}}}=m_{0} \cdot c^{2}+h \cdot\left(f_{0}-f_{1}\right)$ Squaring the last relation results $\frac{m_{0}^{2} \cdot c^{4}}{1-\left(\frac{v_{1 e}}{c}\right)^{2}}=m_{0}^{2} \cdot c^{4}+h^{2} \cdot\left(f_{0}-f_{1}\right)^{2}+m_{0} \cdot h \cdot c^{2} \cdot\left(f_{0}-f_{1}\right)$ Subtracting (4.12) from (4.15) the result is $2 m_{0} \cdot c^{2} \cdot h \cdot\left(f_{0}-f_{1}\right)+2 h^{2} \cdot f_{1} \cdot f_{0} \cdot \cos \theta-2 h^{2} \cdot f_{1} \cdot f=0$ or $\frac{h}{m_{0} \cdot c}(1-\cos \theta)=\frac{c}{f_{1}}-\frac{c}{f_{0}}$ Using $\Lambda=\frac{h}{m_{0} \cdot c}$ the relation (4.17) becomes $\Lambda \cdot(1-\cos \theta)=\lambda_{i}-\lambda_{0}$ The wavelength of scattered photon is $\lambda_{0}=\lambda_{i}-\Lambda \cdot(1-\cos \theta)$ shorter than the wavelength of initial photon and consequently the energy of scattered photon is greater that the energy of initial photon. $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\lambda_{i}<\lambda_{0} \\ E_{i}>E_{0}\end{array}\right.$ Let's analyze now the second collision process that occurs in point $N$. To study that, let's consider a new referential having $O x$ direction on the direction of the photon scattered after the first collision. The figure 4.3 presents the situation before the second collision and the figure 4.4 presents the situation after this scattering process. The conservation principle for moment in the scattering process gives $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{h}{\lambda_{0}}=\frac{h}{\lambda_{f}} \cos \theta+m \cdot v_{2 e} \cdot \cos \beta \\ \frac{h}{\lambda_{f}} \sin \theta-m \cdot v_{2 e} \cdot \sin \beta=0\end{array}\right.$ To eliminate the unknown angle $\beta$ must square and then add the equations (4.22) That is $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\left(\frac{h}{\lambda_{0}}-\frac{h}{\lambda_{f}} \cos \theta\right)^{2}=\left(m \cdot v_{2 e} \cdot \cos \beta\right)^{2} \\ \left(\frac{h}{\lambda_{f}} \sin \theta\right)^{2}=\left(m \cdot v_{2 e} \cdot \sin \beta\right)^{2}\end{array}\right.$ or $\left(\frac{h}{\lambda_{f}}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{h}{\lambda_{0}}\right)^{2}-\frac{2 \cdot h^{2}}{\lambda_{0} \cdot \lambda_{f}} \cos \theta=\left(m \cdot v_{2 e}\right)^{2}$ The conservation principle of energy in the second scattering process gives $\frac{h \cdot c}{\lambda_{0}}+m_{0} \cdot c^{2}=\frac{h \cdot c}{\lambda_{f}}+m \cdot c^{2}$ (4.24) and (4.25) gives $\frac{h^{2} \cdot c^{2}}{\lambda_{f}^{2}}+\frac{h^{2} \cdot c^{2}}{\lambda_{0}^{2}}-\frac{2 \cdot h^{2} \cdot c^{2}}{\lambda_{0} \cdot \lambda_{f}} \cos \theta=m^{2} \cdot c^{2} \cdot v_{2 e}^{2}$ and $h^{2} \cdot c^{2} \cdot\left(\frac{1}{\lambda_{f}}-\frac{1}{\lambda_{0}}\right)^{2}+m_{0}^{2} \cdot c^{4}+2 h \cdot c^{3} \cdot m_{0} \cdot\left(\frac{1}{\lambda_{f}}-\frac{1}{\lambda_{0}}\right)=m^{2} \cdot c^{4}$ Subtracting (4.26) from (1.27), one obtain $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{h}{m_{0} \cdot c} \cdot(1-\cos \theta)=\lambda_{f}-\lambda_{0} \\ \lambda_{f}-\lambda_{0}=\Lambda \cdot(1-\cos \theta)\end{array}\right.$ That is $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\lambda_{f}>\lambda_{0} \\ E_{f}<E_{0}\end{array}\right.$ Because the value of $\lambda_{f}$ is know and $\Lambda$ can be calculate as $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \lambda_{f}=1,25 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m} \\ \Lambda=\frac{6,6 \times 10^{-34}}{9,1 \times 10^{-31} \cdot 3 \times 10^{8}} \mathrm{~m}=2,41 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}=0,02 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m} \end{array}\right. $$ the value of wavelength of photon before the second scattering is $$ \lambda_{0}=1,23 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m} $$ Comparing (4.28) written as: $$ \lambda_{f}=\lambda_{0}+\Lambda \cdot(1-\cos \theta) $$ and (4.20) written as $$ \lambda_{i}=\lambda_{0}+\Lambda \cdot(1-\cos \theta) $$ clearly results $$ \lambda_{i}=\lambda_{f} $$ The energy of the double scattered photon is the same as the energy of initial photon. The direction of "final photon" is the same as the direction of "initial" photon. Concluding, the final photon is identical with the initial photon. The result is expected because of the symmetry of the processes. Extending the symmetry analyze on electrons, the first moving electron that collides the initial photon and after that remains at rest, must have the same momentum and energy as the second electron after the collision - because this second electron is at rest before the collision. That is $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \vec{p}_{1 e}=\vec{p}_{2 e} \\ E_{1 e}=E_{2 e} \end{array}\right. $$ Taking into account (4.24), the moment of final electron is $$ p_{2 e}=h \sqrt{\frac{1}{\lambda_{f}^{2}}+\frac{1}{\left(\lambda_{f}-\Lambda(1-\cos \theta)\right)^{2}}-\frac{2 \cdot \cos \theta}{\lambda_{f} \cdot\left(\lambda_{f}-\Lambda(1-\cos \theta)\right)}} $$ The de Broglie wavelength of second electron after scattering (and of first electron before scattering) is $$ \lambda_{1 e}=\lambda_{2 e}=1 /\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{\lambda_{f}^{2}}+\frac{1}{\left(\lambda_{f}-\Lambda(1-\cos \theta)\right)^{2}}-\frac{2 \cdot \cos \theta}{\lambda_{f} \cdot\left(\lambda_{f}-\Lambda(1-\cos \theta)\right)}}\right) $$ Numerical value of this wavelength is $$ \lambda_{1 e}=\lambda_{2 e}=1,24 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m} $$

a. As is very well known in the study of AC circuits using the formalism of complex numbers, a complex inductive reactance $\overline{X_{L}}=L \cdot \omega \cdot j,(j=\sqrt{-1})$ is attached to the inductance $L$ - part of a circuit supplied with an alternative current having the pulsation $\omega$. Similar, a complex capacitive reactance $\overline{X_{C}}=-\frac{j}{C \cdot \omega}$ is attached to the capacityC. A parallel circuit will be characterized by his complex admittance $\bar{Y}$. The admittance of the AC circuit represented in the figure is $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\bar{Y}=\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{L_{1} \cdot \omega \cdot j}+\frac{1}{L_{2} \cdot \omega \cdot j}-\frac{C_{1} \cdot \omega}{j}-\frac{C_{2} \cdot \omega}{j} \\ \bar{Y}=\frac{1}{R}+j \cdot\left[\left(C_{1}+C_{2}\right)-\left(\frac{1}{L_{1}}+\frac{1}{L_{2}}\right)\right]\end{array}\right.$ The circuit behave as if has a parallel equivalent capacity $C$ $C=C_{1}+C_{2}$ and a parallel equivalent inductance $L$ $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{L}=\frac{1}{L_{1}}+\frac{1}{L_{2}} \\ L=\frac{L_{1} L_{2}}{L_{1}+L_{2}}\end{array}\right.$ The complex admittance of the circuit may be written as $\bar{Y}=\frac{1}{R}+j \cdot\left(C \cdot \omega-\frac{1}{L \cdot \omega}\right)$ and the complex impedance of the circuit will be $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \bar{Z}=\frac{1}{\bar{Y}} \\ \bar{Z}=\frac{\frac{1}{R}+j \cdot\left(\frac{1}{L \cdot \omega}-C \cdot \omega\right)}{\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{R}\right)^{2}+\left(C \cdot \omega-\frac{1}{L \cdot \omega}\right)^{2}}} \end{array}\right. $$ The impedance $Z$ of the circuit, the inverse of the admittance of the circuit $Y$ is the modulus of the complex impedance $\bar{Z}$ $Z=|\bar{Z}|=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{R}\right)^{2}+\left(C \cdot \omega-\frac{1}{L \cdot \omega}\right)^{2}}}=\frac{1}{Y}$ The constant current source supplying the circuit furnish a current having a momentary value $i(t)$ $i(t)=1 \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot \sin (\omega \cdot t)$, where $I$ is the effective intensity (constant), of the current and $\omega$ is the current pulsation (that can vary) . The potential difference at the jacks of the circuit has the momentary value $u(t)$ $u(t)=U \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot \sin (\omega \cdot t+\varphi)$ where $U$ is the effective value of the tension and $\varphi$ is the phase difference between tension and current. The effective values of the current and tension obey the relation $U=I \cdot Z$ The active power in the circuit is $P=\frac{U^{2}}{R}=\frac{Z^{2} \cdot I^{2}}{R}$ Because as in the enounce, $\left\{\begin{array}{l}I=\text { constant } \\ R=\text { constant }\end{array}\right.$ the maximal active power is realized for the maximum value of the impedance that is the minimal value of the admittance . The admittance $Y=\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{R}\right)^{2}+\left(C \cdot \omega-\frac{1}{L \cdot \omega}\right)^{2}}$ has- as function of the pulsation $\omega$ - an „the smallest value" $Y_{\text {min }}=\frac{1}{R}$ for the pulsation $\omega_{m}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{L \cdot C}}$ In this case $\left(C \cdot \omega-\frac{1}{L \cdot \omega}\right)=0$. So, the minimal active power in the circuit has the value $P_{m}=R \cdot I^{2}$ and occurs in the situation of alternative current furnished by the source at the frequency $f_{m}$ $f_{m}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \omega_{m}=\frac{1}{2 \pi \cdot \sqrt{C \cdot L}}$ To ensure that the active power is half of the maximum power it is necessary that $\left\{\begin{array}{l}P=\frac{1}{2} P_{m} \\ \frac{Z^{2} \cdot I^{2}}{R}=\frac{1}{2} R \cdot I^{2} \\ \frac{2}{R^{2}}=\frac{1}{Z^{2}}=Y^{2}\end{array}\right.$ That is $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{2}{R^{2}}=\frac{1}{R^{2}}+\left(C \cdot \omega-\frac{1}{L \cdot \omega}\right)^{2} \\ \pm \frac{1}{R}=C \cdot \omega-\frac{1}{L \cdot \omega}\end{array}\right.$ The pulsation of the current ensuring an active power at half of the maximum power must satisfy one of the equations $\omega^{2} \pm \frac{1}{R \cdot C} \omega-\frac{1}{L \cdot C}=0$ The two second degree equation may furnish the four solutions $\omega= \pm \frac{1}{2 R \cdot C} \pm \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{R \cdot C}\right)^{2}+\frac{4}{L \cdot C}}$ Because the pulsation is every time positive, and because $\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{R \cdot C}\right)^{2}+\frac{4}{L \cdot C}}>\frac{1}{R \cdot C}$ the only two valid solutions are $\omega_{ \pm}=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{R \cdot C}\right)^{2}+\frac{4}{L \cdot C}} \pm \frac{1}{2 R \cdot C}$ It exist two frequencies $f_{ \pm}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \omega_{ \pm}$allowing to obtain in the circuit an active power representing half of the maximum power. $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} f_{+}=\frac{1}{2 \pi}\left(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{R \cdot C}\right)^{2}+\frac{4}{L \cdot C}}+\frac{1}{2 R \cdot C}\right) \\ f_{-}=\frac{1}{2 \pi}\left(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{R \cdot C}\right)^{2}+\frac{4}{L \cdot C}}-\frac{1}{2 R \cdot C}\right) \end{array}\right. $$ The difference of these frequencies is $\Delta f=f_{+}-f_{-}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \frac{1}{R \cdot C}$ the bandwidth of the circuit - the frequency interval around the resonance frequency having at the ends a signal representing $1 / \sqrt{2}$ from the resonance signal. At the ends of the bandwidth the active power reduces at the half of his value at the resonance. The asked ratio is $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{f_{m}}{\Delta f}=\frac{R \cdot C}{\sqrt{L \cdot C}}=R \sqrt{\frac{C}{L}} \\ \frac{f_{m}}{\Delta f}=R \sqrt{\frac{\left(C_{1}+C_{2}\right) \cdot\left(L_{1}+L_{2}\right)}{L_{1} \cdot L_{2}}}\end{array}\right.$ Because $\left\{\begin{array}{l}C=15 n F \\ L=\frac{20}{3} m H\end{array}\right.$ it results that $\omega_{m}=10^{5} \mathrm{rad} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ and $\frac{f_{m}}{\Delta f}=R \sqrt{\frac{C}{L}}=100 \times 10^{3} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{3.15 \times 10^{-9}}{20 \times 10^{-3}}}=150$ The (2.26) relation is the answer at the question $\mathbf{a}$.

b. The fact that immediately after the source is detached it is a current in the coils, allow as to admit that currents dependents on time will continue to flow through the coils. Figure 2.1 The capacitors will be charged with charges variable in time. The variation of the charges of the capacitors will results in currents flowing through the conductors linking the capacitors in the circuit. The momentary tension on the jacks of the coils and capacitors - identical for all elements in circuit - is also dependent on time. Let's admit that the electrical potential of the points $C$ and $D$ is $u(t)$ and the $\qquad$ potential of the points $A$ and $B$ is zero. If through the inductance $L_{1}$ passes the variable current having the momentary value $i_{1}(t)$, the relation between the current and potentials is $u(t)-L_{1} \frac{d i_{1}}{d t}=0$ The current passing through the second inductance $i_{2}(t)$ has the expression, $u(t)-L_{2} \frac{d i_{2}}{d t}=0$ If on the positive plate of the capacitor having the capacity $C_{1}$ is stocked the charge $q_{1}(t)$, then at the jacks of the capacitor the electrical tension is $u(t)$ and $q_{1}=C_{1} \cdot u$ Deriving this relation it results $\frac{d q_{1}}{d t}=C_{1} \cdot \frac{d u}{d t}$ But $\frac{d q_{1}}{d t}=-i_{3}$ because the electrical current appears because of the diminishing of the electrical charge on capacitor plate. Consequently $i_{3}=-C_{1} \cdot \frac{d u}{d t}$ Analogous, for the other capacitor, $i_{4}=-C_{4} \cdot \frac{d u}{d t}$ Considering all obtained results $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{d i_{1}}{d t}=\frac{u}{L_{1}} \\ \frac{d i_{2}}{d t}=\frac{u}{L_{2}}\end{array}\right.$ respectively $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{d i_{3}}{d t}=-C_{1} \frac{d^{2} u}{d t^{2}} \\ \frac{d i_{4}}{d t}=C_{2} \frac{d^{2} u}{d t^{2}}\end{array}\right.$ Denoting $i_{5}(t)$ the momentary intensity of the current flowing from point $B$ to the point $A$, then the same momentary intensity has the current through the points $C$ and $D$. For the point $A$ the Kirchhoff rule of the currents gives $i_{1}+i_{5}=i_{3}$ For $B$ point the same rule produces $i_{4}+i_{5}=i_{2}$ Considering (2.37) and (2.38) results $i_{1}-i_{3}=i_{4}-i_{2}$ and deriving $\frac{d i_{1}}{d t}-\frac{d i_{3}}{d t}=\frac{d i_{4}}{d t}-\frac{d i_{2}}{d t}$ that is $\left\{\begin{array}{l}-\frac{u}{L_{1}}-\frac{u}{L_{2}}=C_{1} \frac{d^{2} u}{d t^{2}}+C_{2} \frac{d^{2} u}{d t^{2}} \\ -u \cdot\left(\frac{1}{L_{1}}+\frac{1}{L_{2}}\right)=\frac{d^{2} u}{d t^{2}} \cdot\left(C_{1}+C_{2}\right)\end{array}\right.$ Using the symbols defined above $\left\{\begin{array}{l}-\frac{u}{L}=\frac{d^{2} u}{d t^{2}} \cdot C \\ \ddot{u}+\frac{1}{L C} u=0\end{array}\right.$ Because the tension obeys the relation above, it must have a harmonic dependence on time $u(t)=A \cdot \sin (\omega \cdot t+\delta)$ The pulsation of the tension is $\omega=\frac{1}{\sqrt{L \cdot C}}$ Taking into account the relations (2.43) and (2.36) it results that $\left\{\begin{array}{l}i_{3}=-C_{1} \frac{d}{d t}(A \cdot \sin (\omega \cdot t+\delta))=-C_{1} \cdot A \cdot \omega \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t+\delta) \\ i_{4}=-C_{2} \frac{d}{d t}(A \cdot \sin (\omega \cdot t+\delta))=-C_{2} \cdot A \cdot \omega \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t+\delta)\end{array}\right.$ and $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{d i_{1}}{d t}=\frac{u}{L_{1}}=\frac{1}{L_{1}} \cdot A \cdot \sin (\omega \cdot t+\delta) \\ \frac{d i_{2}}{d t}=\frac{u}{L_{2}}=\frac{1}{L_{2}} \cdot A \cdot \sin (\omega \cdot t+\delta)\end{array}\right.$ It results that $\left\{\begin{array}{l}i_{1}=\frac{1}{L_{1} \cdot \omega} \cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t+\delta)+M \\ i_{2}=\frac{1}{L_{2} \cdot \omega} \cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t+\delta)+N\end{array}\right.$ In the expression above, $A, M, N$ and $\delta$ are constants that must be determined using initially conditions. It is remarkable that the currents through capacitors are sinusoidal but the currents through the coils are the sum of sinusoidal and constant currents. In the first moment $\left\{\begin{array}{l}u(0)=u_{0}=40 \mathrm{~V} \\ i_{1}(0)=i_{01}=0,1 \mathrm{~A} \\ i_{2}(0)=i_{02}=0,2 \mathrm{~A}\end{array}\right.$ Because the values of the inductances and capacities are $\left\{\begin{array}{l}L_{1}=0,01 \mathrm{H} \\ L_{2}=0,02 \mathrm{H} \\ C_{1}=10 \mathrm{nF} \\ C_{2}=5 \mathrm{nF}\end{array}\right.$ the equivalent inductance and capacity is $\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{L}=\frac{1}{L_{1}}+\frac{1}{L_{2}} \\ L=\frac{L_{1} \cdot L_{2}}{L_{1}+L_{2}} \\ L=\frac{2 \times 10^{-4}}{3 \times 10^{-2}} H=\frac{1}{150} H\end{array}\right.$ respectively $\left\{\begin{array}{l}C=C_{1}+C_{2} \\ C=15 n F\end{array}\right.$. From (2.44) results $\omega=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{150} \cdot 15 \times 10^{-9}}}=10^{5} \mathrm{rad} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ The value of the pulsation allows calculating the value of the requested frequency $\mathbf{b}$. This frequency has the value $f$ $f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{10^{5}}{2 \pi} \mathrm{~Hz}$

If the momentary tension on circuit is like in (2.43), one may write $\left\{\begin{array}{l}u(0)=A \cdot \sin (\delta)=u_{0} \\ \sin (\delta)=\frac{u_{0}}{A}\end{array}\right.$ From the currents (2.47) is possible to write $\left\{\begin{array}{l}i_{01}=\frac{1}{L_{1} \cdot \omega} \cdot A \cdot \cos (\delta)+M \\ i_{02}=\frac{1}{L_{2} \cdot \omega} \cdot A \cdot \cos (\delta)+N\end{array}\right.$ On the other side is possible to express (2.39) as $\left\{\begin{array}{l}i_{1}-i_{3}=i_{4}-i_{2} \\ \frac{1}{L_{1} \cdot \omega} \cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t+\delta)+M+C_{1} \cdot A \cdot \omega \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t+\delta)= \\ -C_{2} \cdot A \cdot \omega \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t+\delta)-\frac{1}{L_{2} \cdot \omega} \cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t+\delta)-N\end{array}\right.$ An identity as $A \cdot \cos \alpha+B \equiv C \cdot \cos \alpha+D$ is valuable for any value of the argument $\alpha$ only if $\left\{\begin{array}{l}A=C \\ B=D\end{array}\right.$ Considering (2.58), from (2.56) it results $\left\{\begin{array}{l}M+N=0 \\ A \cdot \omega \cdot\left(C_{1}+C_{2}\right)=-\frac{A}{\omega} \cdot\left(\frac{1}{L_{1}}+\frac{1}{L_{2}}\right)\end{array}\right.$ For the last equation it results that the circuit oscillate with the pulsation in the relation (2.44) Adding relations (2.55) and considering (2.54) and (2.59) results that $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} i_{01}+i_{02}=A \cdot \cos (\delta) \cdot \frac{1}{\omega} \cdot\left(\frac{1}{L_{1}}+\frac{1}{L_{1}}\right) \\ A=\frac{i_{01}+i_{02}}{\cos (\delta) \cdot \frac{1}{\omega} \cdot\left(\frac{1}{L_{1}}+\frac{1}{L_{1}}\right)} \\ \cos \delta=\frac{i_{01}+i_{02}}{A \cdot \frac{1}{\omega} \cdot\left(\frac{1}{L_{1}}+\frac{1}{L_{1}}\right)} \\ \cos \delta=\frac{\left(i_{01}+i_{02}\right) \cdot L \cdot \omega}{A} \end{array}\right. $$ $\qquad$ The numerical value of the amplitude of the electrical tension results by summing the last relations from (2.54) and (2.60) $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \sin (\delta)=\frac{u_{0}}{A} \\ \cos \delta=\frac{\left(i_{01}+i_{02}\right) \cdot L \cdot \omega}{A} \\ (\cos (\delta))^{2}+(\sin (\delta))^{2}=1 \\ \left(\frac{u_{0}}{A}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{\left(i_{01}+i_{02}\right) \cdot L \cdot \omega}{A}\right)^{2}=1 \\ A=\sqrt{\left(u_{0}\right)^{2}+\left(\left(i_{01}+i_{02}\right) \cdot L \cdot \omega\right)^{2}} \end{array}\right. $$ The numerical value of the electrical tension on the jacks of the circuit is $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} A=\sqrt{(40)^{2}+\left((0,3) \cdot \frac{1}{150} \cdot 10^{5}\right)^{2}} \\ A=\sqrt{(40)^{2}+(200)^{2}}=40 \sqrt{26} \mathrm{~V} \end{array}\right. $$ And consequently from (2.54) results $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \sin (\delta)=\frac{U_{0}}{A} \\ \sin (\delta)=\frac{40}{40 \sqrt{26}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{26}} \end{array}\right. $$ and $$ \cos (\delta)=\frac{5}{\sqrt{26}} $$ Also $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \operatorname{tg}(\delta)=\frac{1}{5} \\ \delta=\operatorname{arctg}(1 / 5) \end{array}\right. $$ From (2.55) $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} M=i_{01}-\frac{1}{L_{1} \cdot \omega} \cdot A \cdot \cos (\delta) \\ N=i_{02}-\frac{1}{L_{2} \cdot \omega} \cdot A \cdot \cos (\delta) \end{array}\right. $$ the corresponding numerical values are $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} M=\left(0,1-\frac{1}{0,01 \cdot 10^{5}} \cdot 40 \sqrt{26} \cdot \frac{5}{\sqrt{26}}\right) A=-0,1 A \\ N=\left(0,2-\frac{1}{0,02 \cdot 10^{5}} \cdot 40 \sqrt{26} \cdot \frac{5}{\sqrt{26}}\right) A=0,1 A \end{array}\right. $$ The relations (2.47) becomes $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} i_{1}=\left(\frac{4 \sqrt{26}}{100} \cdot \cos \left(10^{5} \cdot t+\operatorname{arctg}(1 / 5)\right)-0,1\right) A=\tilde{i}_{1}-I_{0} \\ i_{2}=\left(\frac{2 \sqrt{26}}{100} \cdot \cos \left(10^{5} \cdot t+\operatorname{arctg}(1 / 5)\right)+0,1\right) A=\tilde{i}_{2}+I_{0} \end{array}\right. $$ The currents through the coils are the superposition of sinusoidal currents having different amplitudes and a direct current passing only through the coils.

d) For small height differences ( 10 m in comparison to 843 m ) the exponential pressure drop (or density drop respectively) with height can be approximated by a linear function of height. Therefore the driving force is proportional to the elongation out of the equilibrium position. This is the condition in which harmonic oscillations result, which of course are damped by the air resistance.

What amount of fuel should be spent so that when activating the braking engine at point A of the trajectory, the rocket would land on the Moon at point B (Fig.1)? ( unit: $\mathrm{~kg}$ )

1) During the rocket moving along the circular orbit its centripetal acceleration is created by moon gravity force: $$ G \frac{M M_{M}}{R^{2}}=\frac{M v_{0}^{2}}{R}, $$ where $R=R_{M}+h$ is the primary orbit radius, $v_{0}$-the rocket velocity on the circular orbit: $$ v_{0}=\sqrt{G \frac{M_{M}}{R}} $$ Since $g_{M}=G \frac{M_{M}}{R_{M}^{2}}$ it yields $$ v_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{g_{M} R_{M}^{2}}{R}}=R_{M} \sqrt{\frac{g_{M}}{R_{M}+h}} $$ The rocket velocity will remain perpendicular to the radius-vector OA after the braking engine sends tangential momentum to the rocket (Fig.1). The rocket should then move along the elliptical trajectory with the focus in the Moon's center. Denoting the rocket velocity at points A and B as $v_{A}$ and $v_{B}$ we can write the equations for energy and momentum conservation as follows: $$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{M v_{A}^{2}}{2}-G \frac{M M_{M}}{R}=\frac{M v_{B}^{2}}{2}-G \frac{M M_{M}}{R_{M}} \\ & M v_{A} R=M v_{B} R_{M} \end{aligned} $$ Solving equations (2) and (3) jointly we find $$ v_{A}=\sqrt{2 G \frac{M_{M} R_{M}}{R\left(R+R_{M}\right)}} $$ Taking (1) into account, we get $$ v_{A}=v_{0} \sqrt{\frac{2 R_{M}}{R+R_{M}}} . $$ Thus the rocket velocity change $\Delta v$ at point A must be $$ \Delta v=v_{0}-v_{A}=v_{0}\left(1-\sqrt{\frac{2 R_{M}}{R+R_{M}}}\right)=v_{0}\left(1-\sqrt{\frac{2 R_{M}}{2 R_{M}+h}}\right)=24 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} $$ Since the engine switches on for a short time the momentum conservation low in the system "rocket-fuel" can be written in the form $$ \left(M-m_{1}\right) \Delta v=m_{1} u $$ where $m_{1}$ is the burnt fuel mass. This yields $$ m_{1}=\frac{\Delta v}{u+\Delta v} $$ Allow for $\Delta v \ll u$ we find $$ m_{1} \approx \frac{\Delta v}{u} M=29 \mathrm{~kg} $$

2) In the second case the vector $\vec{v}_{2}$ is directed perpendicular to the vector $\vec{v}_{0}$ thus giving $$ \vec{v}_{A}=\vec{v}_{0}+\Delta \vec{v}_{2}, \quad v_{A}=\sqrt{v_{0}^{2}+\Delta v_{2}^{2}} $$ Based on the energy conservation law in this case the equation can be written as $$ \frac{M\left(v_{0}^{2}+\Delta v_{2}^{2}\right)}{2}-\frac{G M M_{M}}{R}=\frac{M v_{C}^{2}}{2}-\frac{G M M_{M}}{R_{M}} $$ and from the momentum conservation law $$ M v_{0} R=M v_{C} R_{M} $$ Solving equations (4) and (5) jointly and taking into account (1) we find $\Delta \nu_{2}=\sqrt{g_{M} \frac{\left(R-R_{M}\right)^{2}}{R}}=h \sqrt{\frac{g_{M}}{R_{M}+h}} \approx 97 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.

The valve in the dividing wall opens if the pressure on the right side is greater than on the left side. Initially there is 12 g helium in the left side and 2 g helium in the right side. The lengths of both sides are 11.2 dm each and the temperature is $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Outside we have a pressure of 100 kPa . The specific heat at constant volume is $c_{\mathrm{v}}=3.15 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{gK}$, at constant pressure it is $c_{\mathrm{p}}=5.25 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{gK}$.

An adiabatic compression happens until the pressure in the right side reaches 600 kPa ( $\kappa=5 / 3$ ). $$ 100 \cdot 11.2^{5 / 3}=600 \cdot V^{5 / 3}, $$ hence the volume on the right side (when the valve opens): $$ V=3.82 \mathrm{dm}^{3} . $$ From the ideal gas equation the temperature is on the right side at this point $$ T_{1}=\frac{p V}{n R}=552 \mathrm{~K} . $$ During this phase the whole work performed increases the internal energy of the gas: $$ W_{1}=(3.15 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{gK}) \cdot(2 \mathrm{~g}) \cdot(552 \mathrm{~K}-273 \mathrm{~K})=1760 \mathrm{~J} $$ Next the valve opens, the piston is arrested. The temperature after the mixing has been completed: $$ T_{2}=\frac{12 \cdot 273+2 \cdot 552}{14}=313 \mathrm{~K} . $$ During this phase there is no change in the energy, no work done on the piston.

I) $\quad \mathrm{A}=0$ (i.e., the coefficient of $n^{2}$ in equation (5) vanishes) In this case the following relationships exists: $$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{r}_{1}-\mathrm{r}_{2}=\mathrm{d} \\ & n=\frac{f \cdot d}{f \cdot d+r_{1} \cdot r_{2}}>1 \end{aligned} $$ II) $\quad \mathrm{B}=0$ (i.e. the coefficient of $n$ in equation (5) vanishes) In this case the equation has a positive and a negative solution. Only the positve solution makes sense from the physical point of view. It is: $$ \begin{aligned} & f \cdot\left(r_{2}-r_{l}\right)+2 \cdot f \cdot d+r_{l} \cdot r_{2}=0 \\ & n^{2}=-\frac{C}{A}=-\frac{d}{\left(r_{2}-r_{l}+d\right)}>1 \end{aligned} $$ III) $\quad \mathrm{B}^{2}=4 \mathrm{AC}$ In this case two identical real solutions exist. It is: $$ \begin{aligned} & {\left[f \cdot\left(r_{2}-r_{l}\right)+2 \cdot f \cdot d+r_{l} \cdot r_{2}\right]^{2}=4 \cdot\left(r_{2}-r_{l}+d\right) \cdot f^{2} \cdot d} \\ & n=-\frac{B}{2 \cdot A}=\frac{f \cdot\left(r_{2}-r_{l}\right)+2 \cdot f \cdot d+r_{l} \cdot r_{2}}{2 \cdot f\left(r_{2}-r_{l}+d\right)}>1 \end{aligned} $$

a) The kinetic energy of the ion after acceleration by a voltage $U$ is: $$ 1 / 2 m v^{2}=e U $$ From equation (1) the velocity of the ions is calculated: $$ v=\sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot e \cdot U}{m}} $$ On a moving ion (charge $e$ and velocity $v$ ) in a homogenous magnetic field $B$ acts a Lorentz force $F$. Under the given conditions the velocity is always perpendicular to the magnetic field. Therefore, the paths of the ions are circular with Radius $R$. Lorentz force and centrifugal force are of the same amount: $$ e \cdot v \cdot B=\frac{m \cdot v^{2}}{R} $$ From equation (3) the radius of the ion path is calculated: $$ R=\frac{1}{B} \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot m \cdot U}{e}} $$

A hydrogen atom in the ground state, moving with velocity $v$, collides with another hydrogen atom in the ground state at rest. Using the Bohr model find the smallest velocity $v_{0}$ of the atom below which the collision must be elastic. At velocity $v_{0}$ the collision may be inelastic and the colliding atoms may emit electromagnetic radiation. Estimate the difference of frequencies of the radiation emitted in the direction of the initial velocity of the hydrogen atom and in the opposite direction as a fraction (expressed in percents) of their arithmetic mean value. Data: $$ \begin{aligned} & E_{i}=\frac{m e^{4}}{2 \hbar^{2}}=13.6 \mathrm{eV}=2.18 \cdot 18^{-18} \mathrm{~J} ;(\text { ionization energy of hydrogen atom }) \\ & m_{H}=1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg} ;(\text { mass of hydrogen atom }) \end{aligned} $$
$2 \cdot 10^{-2} \%$
According to the Bohr model the energy levels of the hydrogen atom are given by the formula: $$ E_{n}=-\frac{E_{i}}{n^{2}}, $$ where $n=1,2,3, \ldots$ The ground state corresponds to $n=1$, while the lowest excited state corresponds to $n=2$. Thus, the smallest energy necessary for excitation of the hydrogen atom is: $$ \Delta E=E_{2}-E_{1}=E_{i}\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right)=\frac{3}{4} E_{i} . $$ During an inelastic collision a part of kinetic energy of the colliding particles is converted into their internal energy. The internal energy of the system of two hydrogen atoms considered in the problem cannot be changed by less than $\Delta E$. It means that if the kinetic energy of the colliding atoms with respect to their center of mass is less than $\Delta E$, then the collision must be an elastic one. The value of $v_{0}$ can be found by considering the critical case, when the kinetic energy of the colliding atoms is equal to the smallest energy of excitation. With respect to the center of mass the atoms move in opposite direction with velocities $\frac{1}{2} v_{0}$. Thus $$ \frac{1}{2} m_{H}\left(\frac{1}{2} v_{0}\right)^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m_{H}\left(\frac{1}{2} v_{0}\right)^{2}=\frac{3}{4} E_{i} $$ and $$ v_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{3 E_{i}}{m_{H}}} \quad\left(\approx 6.26 \cdot 10^{4} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\right) $$ Consider the case when $v=v_{0}$. The collision may be elastic or inelastic. When the collision is elastic the atoms remain in their ground states and do not emit radiation. Radiation is possible only when the collision is inelastic. Of course, only the atom excited in the collision can emit the radiation. In principle, the radiation can be emitted in any direction, but according to the text of the problem we have to consider radiation emitted in the direction of the initial velocity and in the opposite direction only. After the inelastic collision both atom are moving (in the laboratory system) with the same velocities equal to $\frac{1}{2} v_{0}$. Let $f$ denotes the frequency of radiation emitted by the hydrogen atom in the mass center (i.e. at rest). Because of the Doppler effect, in the laboratory system this frequency is observed as ( $c$ denotes the velocity of light): a) $f_{1}=\left(1+\frac{\frac{1}{2} v_{0}}{c}\right) f$ - for radiation emitted in the direction of the initial velocity of the hydrogen atom, b) $f_{2}=\left(1-\frac{\frac{1}{2} v_{0}}{c}\right) f$ - for radiation emitted in opposite direction. The arithmetic mean value of these frequencies is equal to $f$. Thus the required ratio is $$ \frac{\Delta f}{f}=\frac{f_{1}-f_{2}}{f}=\frac{v_{0}}{c} \quad\left(\approx 2 \cdot 10^{-2} \%\right) . $$ In the above solution we took into account that $v_{0} \ll c$. Otherwise it would be necessary to use relativistic formulae for the Doppler effect. Also we neglected the recoil of atom(s) in the emission process. One should notice that for the visible radiation or radiation not too far from the visible range the recoil cannot change significantly the numerical results for the critical velocity $v_{0}$ and the ratio $\frac{\Delta f}{f}$. The recoil is important for high-energy quanta, but it is not this case.

We see that $$ \sin \angle \mathrm{COC}^{\prime}=\frac{R-x}{R}=\sin \beta(x) . $$ Therefore, the angle $\angle \mathrm{COC}^{\prime}$ must be equal to the angle $\beta(x)$ formed at the point C by the light ray and $\mathrm{CC}^{\prime}$. It means that at the point C the ray must be tangent to the circle. Moreover, the ray that is tangent to the circle at some point must be tangent also at farther points. Therefore, the ray cannot leave the circle (as long as it is inside the plate)! But at the beginning the ray (at the point A ) is tangent to the circle. Thus, the ray must propagate along the circle shown in Fig. 4 until reaching point $B$ where it leaves the plate. Already we know that $A^{\prime} B=1 \mathrm{~cm}$. Thus, $B^{\prime} B=12 \mathrm{~cm}$ and from the rectangular triangle $\mathrm{BB}^{\prime} \mathrm{O}$ we get $$ d=\mathrm{B}^{\prime} \mathrm{O}=\sqrt{13^{2}-12^{2}} \mathrm{~cm}=5 \mathrm{~cm} . $$

Three cylinders with the same mass, the same length and the same external radius are initially resting on an inclined plane. The coefficient of sliding friction on the inclined plane, $\mu$, is known and has the same value for all the cylinders. The first cylinder is empty (tube), the second is homogeneous filled, and the third has a cavity exactly like the first, but closed with two negligible mass lids and filled with a liquid with the same density like the cylinder's walls. The friction between the liquid and the cylinder wall is considered negligible. The density of the material of the first cylinder is $n$ times greater than that of the second or of the third cylinder. Determine:a) The linear acceleration of the cylinders in the non-sliding case. Compare all the accelerations.

In fact $\mathrm{n}>1$, so that the products is les than 1 . It results: $$ \mathrm{I}_{1}>\mathrm{I}_{2}>\mathrm{I}_{3} $$

Two cylinders A and B, with equal diameters have inside two pistons with negligible mass connected by a rigid rod. The pistons can move freely. The rod is a short tube with a valve. The valve is initially closed (fig. 2.1). <image> Fig. 2.1 The cylinder A and his piston is adiabatically insulated and the cylinder B is in thermal contact with a thermostat which has the temperature $\theta=27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Initially the piston of the cylinder A is fixed and inside there is a mass $\mathrm{m}=32 \mathrm{~kg}$ of argon at a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. Inside the cylinder B there is a mass of oxygen at the normal atmospheric pressure. Liberating the piston of the cylinder A, it moves slowly enough (quasi-static) and at equilibrium the volume of the gas is eight times higher, and in the cylinder B de oxygen's density increased two times. Knowing that the thermostat received the heat $Q^{\prime}=747,9.10^{4} \mathrm{~J}$, determine:a) Establish on the base of the kinetic theory of the gases, studying the elastic collisions of the molecules with the piston, that the thermal equation of the process taking place in the cylinder A is $\mathrm{TV}^{2 / 3}=$ constant.
$$ T V^{2 / 3}=\text { const. } $$
a) We consider argon an ideal mono-atomic gas and the collisions of the atoms with the piston perfect elastic. In such a collision with a fix wall the speed $\vec{v}$ of the particle changes only the direction so that the speed $\vec{v}$ and the speed $\vec{v}^{\prime}$ after collision there are in the same plane with the normal and the incident and reflection angle are equal. $$ v_{n}^{\prime}=-v_{n}, v_{t}^{\prime}=v_{t} $$ In the problem the wall moves with the speed $\vec{u}$ perpendicular on the wall. The relative speed of the particle with respect the wall is $\vec{v}-\vec{u}$. Choosing the Oz axis perpendicular on the wall in the sense of $\vec{u}$, the conditions of the elastic collision give: $$ \begin{gathered} (\vec{v}-\vec{u})_{z}=-\left(\vec{v}^{\prime}-\vec{u}\right)_{z},(\vec{v}-\vec{u})_{x, y}=\left(\vec{v}^{\prime}-\vec{u}\right)_{x, y} ; \\ v_{z}-u=-\left(v_{z}^{\prime}-u\right), v_{z}^{\prime}=2 u-v_{z}, v_{x, y}^{\prime}=v_{x, y} \end{gathered} $$ The increase of the kinetic energy of the particle with mass $m_{o}$ after collision is: $$ \frac{1}{2} m_{o} v^{\prime 2}-\frac{1}{2} m_{o} v^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m_{o}\left(v_{z}^{\prime 2}-v_{z}^{2}\right)=2 m_{o} u\left(u-v_{z}\right) \cong-2 m_{o} u v_{z} $$ because u is much smaller than $v_{z}$. If $n_{k}$ is the number of molecules from unit volume with the speed component $v_{z k}$, then the number of molecules with this component which collide in the time dt the area dS of the piston is: $$ \frac{1}{2} n_{k} v_{z k} d t d S $$ These molecules will have a change of the kinetic energy: $$ \frac{1}{2} n_{k} v_{z k} d t d S\left(-2 m_{o} u v_{z k}\right)=-m_{o} n_{k} v_{z k}^{2} d V $$ where $d V=u d t d S$ is the increase of the volume of gas. The change of the kinetic energy of the gas corresponding to the increase of volume dV is: $$ d E_{c}=-m_{o} d V \sum_{k} n_{k} v_{z k}^{2}=-\frac{1}{3} n m_{o} \bar{v}^{2} d V $$ and: $$ d U=-\frac{2}{3} N \frac{m_{o} \bar{v}^{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{d V}{V}=-\frac{2}{3} U \frac{d V}{V} $$ Integrating equation (7) results: $$ U V^{2 / 3}=\text { const. } $$ The internal energy of the ideal mono-atomic gas is proportional with the absolute temperature T and the equation (8) can be written: $$ T V^{2 / 3}=\text { const. } $$

Two cylinders A and B, with equal diameters have inside two pistons with negligible mass connected by a rigid rod. The pistons can move freely. The rod is a short tube with a valve. The valve is initially closed (fig. 2.1). <image> Fig. 2.1 The cylinder A and his piston is adiabatically insulated and the cylinder B is in thermal contact with a thermostat which has the temperature $\theta=27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Initially the piston of the cylinder A is fixed and inside there is a mass $\mathrm{m}=32 \mathrm{~kg}$ of argon at a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. Inside the cylinder B there is a mass of oxygen at the normal atmospheric pressure. Liberating the piston of the cylinder A, it moves slowly enough (quasi-static) and at equilibrium the volume of the gas is eight times higher, and in the cylinder B de oxygen's density increased two times. Knowing that the thermostat received the heat $Q^{\prime}=747,9.10^{4} \mathrm{~J}$, determine:b) Calculate the parameters $\mathrm{p}$, and T of argon in the initial and final states.

The internal energy will be modified only by the adiabatic process suffered by argon gas: $$ \Delta U=v C_{V} \Delta T=m c_{V} \Delta T $$ where $v$ is the number of kilomoles. For argon $C_{V}=\frac{3}{2} R$. For the entire system $\mathrm{L}=0$ and $\Delta U=Q$.

c) When the valve is opened the gases intermix and at thermal equilibrium the final pressure will be $p^{\prime}$ and the temperature T . The total number of kilomoles is constant: $$ \begin{aligned} v_{1}+v_{2}=v^{\prime}, \frac{p_{1}^{\prime} V_{1}^{\prime}}{R T_{1}^{\prime}}+\frac{p_{2}^{\prime} V_{2}^{\prime}}{R T}=\frac{p\left(V_{1}^{\prime}+V_{2}^{\prime}\right)}{R T} \\ p_{1}^{\prime}+p_{2}^{\prime}=2 \mathrm{~atm}, T_{2}=T_{2}^{\prime}=T=300 \mathrm{~K} \end{aligned} $$ The total volume of the system is constant: $$ V_{1}+V_{2}=V_{1}^{\prime}+V_{2}^{\prime}, \quad \frac{V_{2}^{\prime}}{V_{2}}=\frac{\rho_{2}}{\rho_{2}^{\prime}}, \quad V_{2}^{\prime}=\frac{V_{2}}{2}=7,14 m^{3} $$ From equation (18) results the final pressure: $$ p=p_{1}^{\prime} \cdot \frac{1}{V_{1}+V_{2}} \cdot\left(V_{1}^{\prime} \cdot \frac{T}{T_{1}^{\prime}}+V_{2}^{\prime}\right)=2,2 \mathrm{~atm}=2,23 \cdot 10^{5} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2} $$
