CHAPTER 3 ACCELERATION

Uses:

1) To find the displacement.

2) To find the velocity at any time.

3) To find the acceleration at any time.

4) To know the nature of motion.

Displacement from velocity - time graph

The figure shows v - t graph of

uniformly accelerated object. v, and v, are V m/sec the velocities corresponding to the points P, and P, at time t, and t, respectively. The 2. shaded area gives the displacement in the time interval t, - t,.

PARTICLE NATURE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION: PHOTO ELECTRIC EFFECT

Particle Nature of Electromagnetic Radiation:  Planck’s Quantum Theory The important postulates of quantum theory proposed by Max Planck are: 1. Atoms and molecules could emit or absorb energy not in a continuous manner, but discontinuously  in small packets of energy called quanta or photons.  2. The energy (E ) of each quantum of radiation is proportional to its frequency (ν). It is expressed by the equation, E = hν Where ‘h’ is known as Planck’s constant and its value is 6.626×10–34 J s. Photoelectric effect It is the phenomenon of ejection of electrons by certain metals (like potassium, rubidium, caesium  etc.) when light of suitable frequency incident on them. The electrons ejected are called photoelectrons.  This phenomenon was first observed by H Hertz. The important characteristics of photoelectric effect are: 1. The electrons are ejected from the metal surface as soon as the beam of light strikes the surface. i.e.,  there is no time lag between the...
