XI - 2.3 Addition of vectors - Video Lectures


Addition of vectors

Magnitude of av+bv = SQRT(a²+b²+ 2ab cos θ)

The angle of the resultant with av is α where
tanα = b sin θ/(a+b cos θ)

Interesting point to make note of:
Two vectors having equal magnitudes of a make an angle θ with each other. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant(Resultant is output of the addition of two vectors.)

Magnitude = 2a cos θ/2
and
tan α = a sin θ/(a + a cos θ) = (2asin(θ/2)cos(θ/2))/(2acos²(θ/2))
= tan (θ/2)

Example: Two vectors are of equal magnitude of 10 units. One of them is inclined at 45° to the X-axis and the other is inclined at 75° to the X-axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant with respect to X-axis.

The angle between vectors is 30°.
Hence magnitude of the resultant will be 20 cos 15°
The direction - The resultant is inclined at 60° to the X axis.

CBSE 2010 Class XI (2008-09) Syllabus

PHYSICS (Code No. 042)

Senior Secondary stage of school education is a stage of transition from general
education to discipline-based focus on curriculum. The present updated syllabus keeps
in view the rigour and depth of disciplinary approach as well as the comprehension
level of learners. Due care has also been taken that the syllabus is not heavy and is at
the same time, comparable to the international standards. Salient features of the syllabus
include:
_ Emphasis on basic conceptual understanding of the content.
_ Emphasis on use of SI units, symbols, nomenclature of physical quantities and
formulations as per international standards.
_ Providing logical sequencing of units of the subject matter and proper placement of
concepts with their linkage for better learning.
_ Reducing the curriculum load by eliminating overlapping of concepts/ content within
the discipline and other disciplines.
_ Promotion of process-skills, problem-solving abilities and applications of Physics
concepts.

Besides, the syllabus also attempts to
_ strengthen the concepts developed at the secondary stage to provide firm foundation
for further learning in the subject.
_ expose the learners to different processes used in Physics-related industrial and
technological applications.
_ develop process-skills and experimental, observational, manipulative, decision
making and investigatory skills in the learners.
_ promote problem solving abilities and creative thinking in learners.
_ develop conceptual competence in the learners and make them realize and appreciate
the interface of Physics with other disciplines.

JEE Question 2007 Paper I

In an experiment to determine the focal length (f) of a concave mirror by the u–v method, a student places the object pin A on the principal axis at a distance x from the pole P. The student looks at the pin and its inverted image from a distance keeping his/her eye in line with PA. When the student shifts his/her eye towards left, the image appears to the right of the object pin. Then,

(A) x < f (B) f < x < 2f (C) x = 2f (D) x > 2f

2. The nature of light waves

In a wave motion, there is some quantity which changes its value with time and space.

That quantity is the electric field existing in space where light travels.

The electric field is transverse to to the direction of propagation of light.
The equation of such light wave may be written as

E - E0 sin ω(t-x/v)

Light of single wavelength is called monochromatic light.

Huygen's principle

Various points of an arbitrary surface, when reached by a wave front, become secondary sources of light emitting secondary wavelets. The disturbance beyond the surface results from the superposition of these secondary wavelets.
