Reversible pendulum (physical pendulum)

When a pendulum bob suspended on a string is displaced and released, it seeks its equilibrium position and starts to swing. In the experiment depicted here, the torsion dynamometer holds the bob at its maximum displacement. The value of the force displayed directly corresponds to the restoring force of the pendulum. The experiment can be used to determine whether that force is dependent on the displacement of the pendulum. Literature for this experiment as follows: Phys.Demovers. Haftmechanik, 1 01152-01 German Physics, Manual Magnet Board Mechanics, 1 01152-02 English

A reversible pendulum has two marked points from which it can be suspended and for which the periods of oscillation are identical. The distance between the two points, called the reduced pendulum length, is greater than the distance between the points of suspension and the centre of gravity. In this experiment, students will measure the period of oscillation of a reversible pendulum and determine the reduced pendulum length. In addition, a comparison will be made between the periods of oscillation of the reversible pendulum itself and a normal string pendulum with a string length equal to the reduced length of the reversible pendulum.

Principle Motion implies that a body changes its position in space. In order to change location, the body needs a certain amount of time. A position is determined in terms of distances and lengths. Measure the time that a carriage needs to move along a certain length of track when moving uniformly. Measure the distance and time again when the carriage is moving faster. Draw a graph depicting the laws that apply. The speed is thus measured by determining the two quantities, distance and time, which are the two factors that combine to describe a motion.

With the aid of plane waves the dependency of the velocity of the waves' propagation on the depth of the water can be determined. Moreover, the reflection of waves as well as the refraction of waves at a plate, a prism, a concave lens and at a convex lens can be clearly demonstrated. It is shown, that water waves are a proved method to demonstrate the behaviour of waves in general. Tasks 1.

Interference and diffraction of water waves with the ripple tank

Principle A set of circular water waves is generated simultaneously and the resulting interference is observed. By increasing the number of interfering circular waves, Huygens' Principle can be verified. With the aid of plane water waves, diffraction phenomena of waves at different obstacles (slit, edge, double-slit etc.) are investigated. In a further experiment, the principle of "phased array antennas" can be demonstrated. To do so, two circular waves are generated to interfere and the resulting interference pattern on varying the phase of one of the circular waves with respect to the other one is observed. Tasks 1. Use the comb to generate two circular waves and observe the resulting interference. Increase the number of interfering circular waves up to ten by using all teeth of the comb to demonstrate Huygens' Principle. 2. Generate plane water waves and use a barrier to demonstrate diffraction at an edge. Then, form a slit and observe diffraction behind the slit. Repeat this experiment for a double-slit. 3. By using the integrated wave generator as well as the external wave generator, generate two circular waves and observe the interference.

Interference of ultrasonic waves by a Lloyd mirror

Principle A partial packet of radiation passes directly from a fixed ultrasonic transmitter to a fixed ultrasonic receiver. A further partial packet hits against a metal screen that is positioned parallel to the connecting line between the transmitter and receiver, and is reflected in the direction of the receiver. The two packets of radiation interfere with each other at the receiver. When the reflector is moved parallel to itself, the difference in the path lengths of the two packets changes. According to this difference, either constructive or destructive interference occurs. Tasks The sliding device is to be used to move the reflector screen positioned parallel to the connecting line between the transmitter and receiver parallel to itself in steps of d = (0.5 -1) mm.

Vapour pressure of water below 100°C - molar heat of vaporisation

Principle The vapour pressure of water in the range of 40°C to 85°C is investigated. It is shown that the Clausius-Clapeyron equation describes the relation between temperature and pressure in an adequate manner. An average value for the heat of vaporization of water is determined. Tasks 1. 2.

About 250 ml of de-mineralized water are allowed to boil for about 10 minutes to eliminate all traces of dissolved gas. The water is then cooled down to room temperature. The 3-neck round flask is filled about three-quarters full with gas-free water and heated. At 35°C the space above the water within the round flask is evacuated. Further heating causes an increase in pressure p and temperature t of water within the round flask. p and t are read in steps of 5°C up to a maximum of t = 85°C.

2.5 Optics 2.5.1 Geometrical optics

Deviating prisms

Additive colour mixing

Principle A prism is a body made of a material with a higher refractive index than the prism's surroundings. This causes two effects to occur: 1) Beams of light that pass into the prism at 90° to one of the short sides undergo total internal reflection from the long side of the prism and emerge from the other short side. This is how mirrors for high-precision optical devices such as binoculars and telescopes are made. 2) When light beams are refracted by the long side of the prism, they are separated into their various colours. This means that light can be dispersed into a spectrum. Using normal optical glass, short-wavelength blue light is refracted more than longerwavelength red light, whereas optical gratings diffract the longer wavelength red light more. The physical reason for this is based on the refractive index of the material, which is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Literature for this experiment as follows:

Principle Additive mixing of colours is an optical model in which, unlike with subtractive mixing, colours are not produced by repeated restriction of the spectrum but by adding in new regions of the spectrum. Screens or projectors use the three primary colours, red, blue and green (called the RGB model), which can be combined to create virtually any colour perceptible by the human eye. In additive mixing of colours, the sum of all the colours is white and black appears where light is absent. Literature for this experiment as follows: Software interTESS Physics, DVD 01050-00

An optical grating has a large number of slits arranged at regular intervals. This results in a series of diffraction maxima.

Fibre optics

Principle The beam of a laser diode is treated in a way that it can be coupled into a monomode fibre. The problems related to coupling the beam into the fibre are evaluated and verified. In consequence a low frequency signal is transmitted through the fibre. The numerical aperture of the fibre is recorded. The transit time of light through the fibre is measured and the velocity of light within the fibre is determined. Finally the measurement of the relative output power of the diode laser as a function of the supply current leads to the characteristics of the diode laser such as "threshold energy" and "slope efficiency". Tasks 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Couple the laser beam into the fibre and adjust the setting-up in a way that a maximum of output power is achieved at the exit of the fibre. Demonstrate the transmission of a LF-signal through the fibre. Measure the numerical aperture of the fibre.

Quantum eraser

Principle A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is lit by a diverged laser beam. Ring-shaped interference patterns then appear on the screen behind the interferometer. If polarisation filters with perpendicular alignments are placed in the two arms of the interferometer, the interference patterns vanish. The quantum-mechanical interpretation of this is that the photons have been lent a property (polarisation), which helps to make it possible to see which of the two interferometer arms the photon has passed through. However, this “which path?” information is not compatible with a quantum-mechanical interpretation of interference. A third polarising filter behind the interferometer output works like a “quantum eraser”. Placing this filter in an alignment at 45° to both the other filters causes the interference pattern to return beyond it, i.e. the path information has been “erased”.

Principle A beam of potassium atoms generated in a hot furnace travels along a specific path in a magnetic two-wire field. Because of the magnetic moment of the potassium atoms, the non-homogeneity of the field applies a force at right angles to the direction of their motion. The potassium atoms are thereby deflected from their path. By measuring the density of the beam of particles in a plane of detection lying behind the magnetic field, it is possible to draw conclusions as to the magnitude and direction of the magnetic moment of the potassium atoms. Tasks 1. 2. 3. 4.

The Chamber's pedestal holds the refrigerating unit, power supply, a tank for alcohol, a pump for alcohol and a timer. On top of the pedestal, the observation chamber is installed. The top and the sides of the observation chamber are made of glass. Underneath the upper sheet of glass, thin heating wires are installed, which heat up this part of the chamber and thus keep the chamber from misting over. These wires simultaneously serve as high-voltage mesh to gather up ions.

This detector has a detection probability of 1for alpha-particles and virtually no zero effect, so that the number of pulses agrees exactly with the number of alpha-particles striking the detector. In order to obtain maximum possible counting rates, a measurement geometry is used which dates back to Chadwick. It is also possible in this case to shift the foil and source in an axial direction (thus deviating from Chadwick's original apparatus), so that the angle of scattering can be varied over a wide range. In addition to the annular diaphragm with gold foil, a second diaphragm with aluminium foil is provided in order to study the influence of the scattering material on the scattering rate. Tasks 1. 2.

Poisson's and Gaussian distribution of radioactive decay with Cobra3 (influence of the dead time of the counter tube)

Principle 1) The aim of this experiment is to show that the number of pulses counted during identical time intervals by a counter tube which bears a fixed distance to along-lived radiation emitter correspond to a Poisson´s distribution. A special characteristic of the Poisson´s distribution can be observed in the case of a small number of counts n < 20: The distribution is unsymmetrical, i. e. the maximum can be found among smaller numbers of pulses than the mean value. In order to show this unsymmetry the experiment is carried out with a short counting period and a sufficiently large gap between the emitter and the counter tube so that the average number of pulses counted becomes sufficiently small. 2) Not only the Poisson's distribution, but also the Guassian distribution which is always symmetrical is very suitable to approximate the pulse distribution measured by means of a long-lived radiation emitter and a counter tube arranged with a constant gap between each other.A premise for this is a sufficiently high number of pulses and a large sampling size. The purpose of the following experiment is to confirm these facts and to show that the statistical pulse distribution can even be be approximated by a Guassian distribution, when (due to the dead time of the counter tube) counting errors occur leading to a distribution which deviates from the Poisson's distribution. 3) If the dead time of the counter tube is no longer small with regard to the average time interval between the counter tube pulses, the fluctuation of the pulses is smaller than in the case of a Poisson's distribution. In order to demonstrate these facts the limiting value of the mean value (expected value) is compared to the limiting value of the variance by means of a sufficiently large sampling size.

Principle An alpha-spectrometer, consisting of a silicon surface barrier layer detector, a preamplifier, a pulse height analyser and a recording device for registration of the spectra is calibrated by means of an open alpha-emitter of known alpha-energy (241Am). The energy spectrum of a radium source which is in equilibrium with its decay products, is recorded and evaluated. The alpha-energies found in this way are allocated to the corresponding nuclides of the radium decay series. Tasks 1.

The alpha-spectrum of the 226Ra is recorded, the settings of the pulse analyzer (amplification) and recorder (x and y input sensitivity) being selected so as to make best possible use of the recording width. The calibration spectrum of the open 241Am-emitter is recorded at the same settings. The alpha-energies corresponding to the individual peaks of the alpha spectrum of the radium are calculated and, on the assumption of a constant energy loss in the source covering, the alpha-active nuclides of the radium decay series corresponding to the individual peaks are determined on the basis of the values in the literature.

Energy loss of alpha particles in gases with Cobra3

Principle A study is made of the connection between the energy E of alpha-particles and the path x travelled by them in air at standard pressure. The measurements recorded enable the differencial energy loss dE/dx to be calculated as a function of x. Tasks 1.

The spectrum of a covered 241Am source is measured at a fixed distance s as a function of the pressure p. The distance s is selected in such a way as to correspond to the maximum range at the highest pressure measurable with the manometer used. The energy corresponding to the central points of the individual spectra are determined (after calibration of the measurement layout with an open 241Am-emitter, see 3.) and plotted as a function of the distance x converted to a 1013 hPa basis. Using this function, the differential energy loss (dE/dx) is then calculated as a function of x and again plotted on the graph. The spectrum of the source used in 1.is measured initially under the same geometric conditions under vacuum and subsequently with the vessel filled with helium, nitrogen or carbon dioxide, in each case under identical pressures. The different energy loss values are compared with the electron concentration in the particular gas. The mean energy with which the alpha-particles leave the covered americium source is determined by calibration against the open americium emitter (E = 5.485 MeV). (This value is required for the evaluation in 1.)

Energy dependence of the gamma absorption coefficient with the multi-channel analyser

Principle The intensity of gamma-radiation decreases when it passes through solid matter. The attenuation can be the result of Compton scattering, the photo effect or the pair production. An absorption coefficient can be attributed to each of the three phenomena. These absorption coefficients, as well as the total absorption, are highly energy-dependent. The energy dependence of the total absorption coefficient for aluminium in the range below 1.3 MeV is verified. Tasks 1.

For each of the emitting isotopes Na22, Cs137 and Am241 the gamma-spectrum is traced and a threshold energy, E, just below the photo-peak in the high energy range determined. Using the scintillation counter in conjunction with the pulse height analyser as a monochromator, the gamma-intensity is measured as a function of the thickness of different aluminium layers.The three gamma- emitting isotopes are used successively as the source, assuming that the energy of the emitted gamma-radiation is known.

Simulates a generalised nerve cell with an apical dendrite and its synaptic contacts, a cell body (soma) and a nerve fibre (axon) with myelin sheathes and a Ranvier's ring. The dendrite comprises exciting, inhibiting, presynaptic and Hebbian synapses which are marked by the corresponding colours of the sockets. Here the axons end in presynaptic buttons. These are represented together with a part of the (afferent) fibre providing the signal. The connection between the (efferent) axon of a neuron unit which leads away or the stimulus output socket of the operating unit and a synapse is established by means of a white cable which is inserted into the desired synapse socket. The yellow sockets serve for the derivation of the state of excitement of the simulated neuron. They are connected to a computer interface. The action potentials can be made audible with the aid of the integrated acoustic monitor. The turning knob "S" serves for setting the "firing threshold" of the neuron.

Function and applications: Measures up to 4 times simultaneously. Multiple time measuring instrument for a variety of applications in teaching, wherever times are to be accurately measured. The timer unit has four 4 digit displays. The starting and stopping of the four built-in independent timers is actuated by the opening or closing of electrical circuits, or by means of light barriers or other TTL signal sources (e.g. a microphone). Benefits: The 6 different operating modes allow the timer unit to be adjusted to suit almost any experimental requirement. Three different operating modes are suitable for track experiments (distance-time law for four tracks, measurement of speed at four positions, principles of collisions), and in each case all four displays are utilized. Two further operating modes allow, for example, the measurement of the orbiting time of a rotary movement and the direct measurement of the duration of a complete swing of a mechanical pendulum. If required, two of the 4-digit displays can be combined to give an 8-digit display (0000.0000 to 9999.9999). Technical data: ▪ ▪
