WAVE PARTICLE DUALITY

Phenomena such as Interference, Diffraction and Polarisation can be explained by wave theory of light, however, phenomena such as photo electric effect and Compton effect can be explained by particle theory of light.

According to Planck Quantum Theory emission and absorption of light is not continuous but it is discrete and light is in form of small bundles or packets of energy which is called Photons. Hence light behaves as a wave on one hand and a particle on the other hand. This nature of light is known as dual nature and this property of light is known as Wave-Particle Duality.

On the basis of this dual nature of light, De-Broglie suggested that dual nature is not only of light but each moving material particle has dual nature. He assumed a wave to be associated with each moving material particle which is called the "Matter Wave".

BRAGG'S EQUATION -- BRAGG'S LAW

X-rays are electromagnetic radiations with high energies and wavelengths of the order 〖10〗^(-10) meter. These rays can be diffracted whenever they meet barrier with one or more openings that is about the same size as the wavelength. The layers of atoms or ions in crystals are separated by a distance of around 100 or 200 pm, which is the right range to cause X-rays to be diffracted. Thus layers of atoms in a crystal act as a diffracting for X-rays.

Just One Mission for Our Nation


Wish that the affinity of our past had exposed the best out of us. But on the contrary, our political system is heading towards futility. The most dismal situation is that we have become a subject of mockery in the western media too and without any astonishment most of us agree with: what the world is saying about us. I am no such person who feels enlightened by the derogatory remarks about my countrymen who happen to be the renowned politicians. But there is no escapism for this situation.

This country, famous for diverse religion and culture is being known for en-rooted corruption. It's a moment of sigh for each one of us and the blame game is not working either. Corrupts being alert, still follow their grotesque practice as they are more confident of their power. Censuring just the UPA is not much of a worthy idea. In fact, each person involved should be questioned and punished for this disparaging situation. What Anna Hazare and other renowned troops are doing is commendable but we being responsible citizens either watch them on TV and praise them or sometimes come out on streets shouting slogans. Our outcry has not yet made much of a difference because even politicians are aware "action speaks louder than words." My implication is not at all a violent one, just an appeal to fellow citizens to demonstrate their national love. Last year, witnessed an absurd situation, during the initial days of Anna Hazare's national program, one of his energetic follower wearing a cap by his name, crossed a red light (the act was intentional). It was a disgrace to Anna ji, as seeing this incidence a group poked fun at the leader and his counterparts. It was a sad moment, for all the other supporters, that young man had brought disgrace to our movement. Anyways, what I want to convey is, being the supporters of anti-corruption movement we have to be moralistic. Corruption is not just measured in monetary terms but any unethical act is a part of corrupt commotion. As little things make difference, so we should abstain from abiding law, dishonesty, deceiving and violence. In simple term, together we achieve which no one can achieve alone.

Induction Type Instruments, Working Principle of Induction Type Instruments


INDUCTION TYPE INSTRUMENTS

The principle of operation of induction instrument is similar to that of induction motor. A rotating magnetic field is produced by the coils of the instrument. A aluminum disc is suspended near to the coil in which eddy currents are induced by rotating flux. The rotating flux interacts with the induced eddy current and produces torque which causes the aluminum disc to rotate.

ELECTRODYNAMIC OR DYNAMOMETER TYPE INSTRUMENTS

It is very similar to PMMC instruments except that the permanent magnet field is replaced by coils (usually 2 fixed air cored coils) which carry current to be measured. The coils are usually air cored to avoid hysteresis, eddy currents and other errors.
Deflecting torque is produced by interaction of magnetic fields. One field is due to current in fixed coil and other field is due to current in moving coil.

BALANCED SYSTEM AND UNBALANCED SYSTEM

A set of three sinusoidal voltages (or current) that are equal in magnitude but having a progressive phase differences of 120 degree constitute a balanced three phase voltage system. The three phase quantities are otherwise said to be unbalanced.
Phase sequence is the order or sequence in which the current or voltages in different phases attain their maximum values one after the other.

PHASE SEQUENCE OF 3 PHASE SUPPLY IS ESSENTIAL FOR: The direction of rotation of 3 phase induction motor depends upon the phase sequence of 3-phase supply, to reverse the direction of rotation; the phase sequence of the supply given to the motor has to be changed.
The parallel operation of 3-phase alternator and transformer is only possible if phase sequence is known.

B-H Curve Hysteresis, Hysteresis Loop including B-H Curve, Hysteresis Loss


HYSTERISIS LOSS - B-H CURVE - DERIVATION FOR THE HYSTERESIS LOSS

In the state of Ferromagnetic Substances the magnetic domain form closed chain due to which the net magnetic moment of the substance is zero. When the substance is placed in an external magnetic field, the domains rotate and arrange themselves such that their magnetic moment becomes in the direction of external magnetic field. Work is done by the external magnetic field in this alignment. But on removal of the external magnetic field, these domains could not come back to their initial state and some magnetism is left within the substance. Hence some amount of energy is not returned back to demagnetization. Thus in each Hysteresis loop there is some loss in energy. This energy loss is called Hysteresis Loss.
