Minor PREFACE This manual presents the laboratory exercises of the Courses in General Physics offered at the University of California. It is printed in four parts, each part accom- panied by appropriate tables. Parts I and II contain experiments on Heat, Properties of Matter, and Mechan- ics. Part III deals with Magnetism and Electricity, and Part IV is devoted to Sound and Light. While the manual is largely based upon the exercises printed in Physical Measurements in Properties of Matter and Heat-Minor and Elston, and Physical Measurements in Sound, Light and Electricity-Minor, it represents a revision in which the writer has attempted two things. First, to base the college laboratory work squarely upon the foundation afforded by a first course, and second, to omit exercises based upon topics which properly belong to the lecture demonstration and which experience has shown to be adequately treated there. The writer's predecessors, Professor Harold Whiting, Professor E. R. Drew, Professor Elmer E. Hall, Dr. T. Sidney Elston, A. C. Alexander, G. K. Burgess, Bruce V. Hill, A. S. King, and T. C. McKay have all influenced the development of these exercises. Material has been freely drawn from the literature of the subject whether in magazine or text book form with- out specific credit being always indicated. RALPH S.

INTRODUCTION This book is intended to be mainly a manual of direc- tions. It is complete enough, however, so that when used in conjunction with Duff's Physics, the text-book, it will cover the minimum requirement for the year's work. Experiments are assigned on the bulletin boards. Note your assignment and find out what you are going to do before you enter the laboratory. The necessary apparatus may be obtained from the store-keeper. In writing re- ports, use the paper and binders sold for the purpose. Take the data in duplicate, and drop the carbon copy in the box in the hall on leaving. Make your report concise. Criticize your results. If they are not satisfactory to you, explain why. Within one week after you have finished taking data, drop your completed report in the box in the hall under your recitation instructor's name. In writing the report, follow the general directions printed in the binder. All curves must be plotted on millimeter paper. Your report will be returned to you by your recitation instructor. If it is graded, note corrections, and keep it. If it is not graded, make indicated corrections, and return it as soon as possible. Errors Every measurement is subject to errors. In the simple case of measuring the distance between two points by means of a meter rod, a number of measurements usually give different results, especially if the distance is several meters long and the measurements are made to fractions of a millimeter. The errors here arise from inaccuracy 8 SIGNIFICANT FIGURES in setting, inaccuracy in estimating the fraction of a division, parallax in reading, faults in the meter rod, ex- pansion due to change in temperature, and so on. Blun- ders in putting down a wrong reading or in not adding correctly are not classed as errors. SIGNIFICANT FIGURES It is necessary always, in recording measurements, to put down all the figures that can be trusted, even if some of them are ciphers. For instance, if a distance has been measured to hundredths of a centimeter and found to be 50.00 cm., it is not correct to put the distance down as 50 cm., for the statement that the distance is 50 cm. implies that the distance has been only roughly measured and is found to be more nearly equal to 50 cm. than it is 49 or 51 cm., whereas the statement that the distance is 50.00 cm. implies that the distance lies between 49.99 and 50.01 cm. When the distance is said to be 50 cm., the implication is that the second figure, counting from the left, is the last in which any confidence can be placed; but when the distance is said to be 50.00 cm., the implication is that confidence can be placed in the quantity as far out as the fourth figure from the left. This fact is indicated by saying that in the first case the quantity can be trusted to the second significant figure, and in the other case to the fourth. The number of significant figures in a quantity is irre- spective of the decimal point; thus there is one significant figure in 0.01, two in 0.000026, and three in 2.10. A convenient method of writing a number so as to show its precision is to place the point after the first significant figure and multiply by an appropriate positive or negative power of ten. If a mass, for instance, is about 25,000 gm. and the third significant figure is the last in which any SIGNIFICANT FIGURES 9 confidence can be placed, this fact is indicated by saying that the mass is 2.50 X 10 4 gm. The power of ten is the characteristic of the logarithm of the number. In indirect measurements the result is usually calculated by some formula. To find how many figures should be kept in the result and how accurately the several quantities in the formula should be measured, the student should observe the following rules. Sums and Differences. In sums and differences no more decimal places should be retained than can be trusted in the quantity having fewest trustworthy decimal places. Also, Quantities which are to be added or subtracted should be measured accurately to the same decimal place, irrespective of whether they have the same number of significant figures or not. Products and Quotients. In products and quotients no more significant figures should be kept than can be trusted in the factor having fewest trustworthy figures. Also, Quantities which are to be multiplied or divided should be measured to the same number of significant figures. Until the final result is reached, it is often worth while to keep one more figure than the above rules indicate. In cases in which a result must be calculated from several different measurements, it is useless to take some of these measurements with high precision when the precision of the result is limited by that of some measurement whose precision is necessarily low. For example, if you are 10 SIGNIFICANT FIGURES measuring the area of a rectangle which is ten times as long as it is broad, it is a waste of time to determine the length within a tenth of a millimeter if the breadth can be determined at the best only within a tenth of a milli- meter. For if this were done, the length would be measured to one more significant figure than the breadth, whereas the precision of the calculated area would not exceed that of the breadth. Percent Error The number of significant figures used in expressing a quantity is only a rough indication of its precision. A more exact statement of the precision is made in terms of percent error. The error in a quantity may be estimated by comparing two successive determinations. The deviation of either from the mean indicates the order of magnitude of the probable error. Or, if several determinations are made, the average deviation of the different determinations from their mean may be taken as the probable error of a single observation. This, divided by the number of observations, gives the approximate probable error of the mean value. The probable error may be calculated exactly by means of the method of least squares, which will be taken up in later work. The error, as thus determined, is then expressed as a fraction of the quantity measured, in terms of percent. Do not estimate the precision of your measurements by comparing your calculated result with a tabular value. Do not get the impression that a result apparently in good agreement with a tabular value is preferable to an PERCENT ERROR 11 honest reduction of data actually obtained. Frequently the tabular value would be wrong, by reason of the difference in the sample. But even if you have good reason to believe that agreement with tabular results is desirable, you will do better to cultivate the manipulative skill which is necessary to obtain such results rather than to make your data appear better than they are. Manipulative skill is a matter of experience, of which you have little. Correctness of calculations is a matter of arithmetic, but mistakes are common. But when, by a "mistake", poor data give good results, it is a matter of fundamental honesty. A clear scientific conscience is absolutely essential to the validity of any sort of scien- tific work. When the greatest errors involved are of the order of 0.01%, use five-place logarithms; when they are of the order of 0.1%, use four-place logarithms. Careful work with a 10-inch slide rule will introduce errors not exceeding two or three tenths of a percent. 12 WEIGHING BY METHOD OF VIBRATIONS 1. SENSITIVE BEAM BALANCE. DENSITY OF A SOLID. Weighing by Method of Vibrations. When free to swing, the pointer of an equal-arm beam balance oscillates about a mean position called the rest point. This is the position it would occupy if allowed to come to rest. The rest point with no load in either pan is called the zero rest point. The construction of the bal- ance is such that if the two pans contain equal loads the pointer will oscillate about this zero rest point, but if there is a small excess in one pan, the rest point will be shifted slightly in the direction corresponding to a lowering of the heavily loaded pan. To determine a rest point, set the beam to swinging freely. Read an odd number of successive turning points (say 5 or 7), on the scale behind the pointer. This scale has zero on the left and ten in the center. The average of the mean of all the left hand and the mean of all the right hand readings is the rest point. A rest point determination by the method of Vibrations not only eliminates the friction of the knife edges, but Fig. 1. The three turning points shown in this figure indicate 13.3 as the rest point. 1] METHOD OF VIBRATIONS 13 also avoids loss of time which would elapse in waiting for the pointer to stop. In weighing, place the unknown mass in the left pan and load the right pan with known masses until a rest point on the scale can be observed. In making trials proceed systematically, beginning with the large masses. THE BALANCE IS A DELICATE INSTRUMENT. HANDLE IT WITH CARE. Keep the door closed, and only open it to change masses. Never change masses except when the beam is clamped. Handle the masses with forceps, to prevent corrosion. Use the rider instead of masses of less than 10 mg. The rider weighs 12 mg., but when placed at a point on the beam instead of in the pan, is equivalent to a proportion- ately less amount. The sensitiveness of the balance is the shift of the rest- point per mg. excess in one pan. It depends to a certain extent on the load, and must be determined with the pans loaded. Having found the sensitiveness, calculate the amount which would have to be added to or sub- tracted from the mass in the right pan in order to make the rest point come to its zero position. An illustrative set of data follows. From the data in (ii) and (iii) the sensitiveness is found to be (14.87-8.54) / 2 = 3.2 scale-divisions per mg. From this and the data in (i) and (ii) the approximate mass of the body is found by calculation to be equal to 12.2302 Rm. The reciprocal of the sensitiveness, called the "sensi- bility" represents the number of milligrams required to shift the rest point one division. From the data given in (ii) and (iii) the sensibility is 2/(14.87 - 8.54) = 0.316 mg. per scale division. 14 METHOD OF VIBRATION [1 (i) Pans empty; Left Right 0.7 15.2 1.3 14.5 2.1 13.8 13.2 3)4.1 4)56.7 1.37 14.18 Zero rest-point, 7.78 (ii) Body on left pan, 12 + 0.200 + 0.020 + 0.008 12.228 gm. on right pan; Left Right 10.9 18.6 11.4 18.2 11.7 17.8 12.1 4)46.1 3)54.6 11.53 18.20 Rest-point, 14.87 (iii) Body on left pan, 12 + 0.200 + 0.020 + 0.010 12.230 gm. on right pan; Left Right 6.3 11.0 6.5 10.7 6.7 10.4 10.2 3)19.5 4)42.3 6.50 10.58 Rest-point, 8.54 1] DENSITY OF A SOLID 15 (a) Weigh the solid, by the method of vibrations, as outlined above. Record its number and the number of the set of weights. (6) Repeat in detail. (c) Read the barometer and the thermometer. Measure the dimensions of the cylinder with a metric scale and calculate its volume. (d) From your data in (a) and (b) find the mean value of the apparent mass of the solid. The balance only serves to compare forces, and hence indirectly masses. But the forces which you have bal- anced against each other in (a) are not simply the weights of the cylinder on one side and of the marked brass weights on the other. The buoyancy of the air has an appreciable influence. From the approximate volumes of displaced air and the density of air, (see page 62), calculate the bouyant forces and apply the correction to the observed mass to get the true mass. (e) Calculate the percent deviation of each determin- ation of the mass from the mean value. The balance does not even compare forces, if its arms have not exactly equal lengths, but only force-moments. The error introduced by the inequality of the arms may be eliminated by re-weighing with cylinder and masses interchanged. Show using moments that if this be done, the true mass is given by m = / m' m" S where m' and m" are the results of the two weighings. (/) Calculate the density of the solid. 16 DENSITY OF AIR [2 2. DENSITY OF AIR. To find the density of the air at atmospheric pressure. By the density of a body is meant the mass per unit volume of the body, and it is usually found by measuring the mass and the volume and then calculating their quotient. In the case of air the density may be found by an indirect method which does not require that the mass of air filling a given volume shall be known. Let a glass bulb of volume V be weighed full of air at atmospheric pressure Pi, and let M be the mass necessary to balance it. Then let some of the air be pumped out until the pressure is P 2 , the mass as determined by weigh- ing now being (M m), where m is the mass of air that has been pumped out between the weighings. Then, if di and d 2 be the densities corresponding to the pressures Pi and P 2 , it follows, from the definition of density and the interpretation of m, that (1) Vd l Vd> = m. The reciprocal of the density is the volume of unit mass; hence, if Boyle's law is applied to unit mass of the air, the temperature being assumed constant, we have by equating the products of pressure by volume of unit mass before and after the change in pressure, (2) Pi/^-P./d,. Eliminating d 2 from (1) and (2), we get (3) d l 2] DENSITY OF AIR 17 In the application of this formula it is essential that the temperature should be the same during the two weighings. (Why?) This condition is approximately satisfied in practice. If the temperature be not the same, the observed pressure in the second case will need to be corrected (through the application of Charles' law), so as to give the pressure that would have existed had the temperature been the same as during the first weighing. The volume V is obtained by weighing the bulb when empty and then when full of water at a known temperature. (a) Carefully dry the flask by exhausting it several times and admitting air each time through a calcium chloride drying-tube. Ask an assistant for instructions in regard to manipulating the pump. If moisture is visible inside the flask, it may be necessary to put in a little alcohol, rinse the flask, vaporize the alcohol over a Bunsen burner, and rinse with dry air as before. With the dried flask in connection with the drying tube, admit air at atmospheric pressure. Close the pinch-cock and care- fully weigh the flask. Note the temperature. Read the barometer for the pressure. (6) Pump some of the air out until a moderately low pressure is obtained, and weigh again at this reduced pressure. Again note the temperature and record the pressure. The pressure of the air in the partially ex- hausted flask is equal to the difference between the height of the barometer column and the height of the mercury column in the manometer connected with the pump. (c) Repeat (a) and (6) before continuing the exper- iment. Fill the flask completely with water up to the pinch- cock, taking care to have no water above it. The temper- 18 DENSITY OF AIR [2 ature of the water should be recorded. Dry the outside of the flask and then weigh upon trip scales or a decigram balance. (d) Using the data obtained in (a), (b), and (c), find the density of the air, in grams per cc., at the given tem- perature and atmospheric pressure. From this result the density of dry air under standard conditions (that is, at C. and 76 cm. pressure) may be found through the application of Boyle's and Charles' laws, or a combination of the l!wo. If Pi, di, and 7\ represent the pressure, den- sity and absolute temperature of a given kind of gas at one time, and P 2 , d 2 , and T 2 represent the corresponding values at another time, then it follows, from a combina- tion of the two laws, that (4) p l /d 1 r l = p 2 /j 2 r 2 for the given kind of gas to the degree of approximation with which it observes the given laws. Making use of this relation, calculate the density of dry air under stand- ard conditions of temperature and pressure. Calculate the probable error in your result. Point out the chief sources of error. (e) Why is it desirable in (b) to exhaust the flask until the pressure is quite low? In order that the method of this experiment may apply, is it necessary, or not, to exhaust the flask completely? To what form would the formula (3) be reduced in this case? 3] RELATIVE DENSITY OF CARBON DIOXIDE 19 3. RELATIVE DENSITY OF CARBON DIOXIDE. The relative density of carbon dioxide compared with air as a standard is to be measured. The method employed here is that used in Exp. 2. Using the same symbols as there used, and making the weighings and noting the pressures as there indicated, we have for the air, (1) d l If the measurements are then repeated for the carbon dioxide, (2) df =m f P i f /[V(P i f P 2 ')], the symbols having the same meaning as in the case of air. From (1) and (2), if D is the relative density of the carbon dioxide, we get, by division, (3) D = <*//' P/), where PI and P 2 ' are the two pressures in the enclosed air corresponding to the volumes V and V'+k, the first representing the atmospheric pressure. From (1) and (2) the volume of the solid can be found. The density of the solid can then be calculated from its volume and mass. (a) With the tube A uncovered bring the mercury meniscus to M, recording the pressure, evidently just equal to the atmospheric pressure and obtained by reading the barometer. Carefully place the plate on A, so as to insure an air-tight joint. The plate must be clean and have on it only a little grease. By lowering the open tube on the side L cause the mercury meniscus in the tube A to drop from M to N, then note the difference in mercury levels at TV and L and again determine the pressure in the enclosed air. Test for leakage by allowing the tube to remain a minute or more in this position, and make sure that the mercury levels do not change. Note the value of k recorded on the tag attached to the apparatus. (b) Remove the plate, place inside the volumenometer one of the bodies whose density is to be determined, and repeat (a). Weigh the body. (c) Repeat for at least one other body. (d) By applying Boyle's law find the volume of the solids used and then calculate their densities. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this method of determining density? 5] SURFACE TENSION BY JOLLY'S BALANCE 23 5. SURFACE TENSION BY JOLLY'S BALANCE. To obtain a direct measure of the surface tension of a liquid by balancing it against the tension in a stretched spring. A wire rectangle is hung from the spring of a Jolly's balance and allowed to dip in a soap solution which forms a film across the rectangle. When equilibrium is estab- lished, the force due to surface tension in the two surfaces of the film must just balance the tension in the spring. By knowing the force which will stretch the spring the same amount, we have a measure of the total force due to sur- face tension. If T is the value of the surface tension in dynes per centimeter width of the film, / the width in centimeters of the rectangle along the surface of the liquid, and F the force in dynes exerted by the spring, then F - 2 1 r. The force F in dynes is equal to 980 m, where m is the mass in grams whose weight will stretch the spring the given amount and 980 is approximately the number of dynes of force which the earth exerts on 1 gm. Know- ing m and /, the value of T can be calculated. Bare wire, pincers, thread and a piece of emery cloth are provided for the construction of the rectangles. The greatest care must be taken to have the beaker and rectangles clean. Do not touch with the fingers the inside of the beaker, the liquid, or the part of the rectangle on which the film is formed, for a slight trace of grease will very greatly decrease the surface tension of water. (a) Having first cleaned the pincers and the wire with -emery cloth construct three rectangles about 2, 4 and 6 cm. wide respectively. Make the rectangles to 24 SURFACE TENSION BY JOLLY'S BALANCE [5 approximate size and determine their exact width after you have finished using them. These should have the form of a staple with square, corners and legs from 3 to 5 cm. long. Suspend a rectangle, 2 cm. wide, from the spring, and let it be partially immersed in a beaker of soap-solution. Read the extension of the spring when there is no film in the rectangle, and again with a film across it. Repeat until consistent results are obtained, and average. Repeat these measurements, using rectangles 4 cm. and 6 cm. wide. Determine by trial whether the force exerted by the film depends on the length of the film, measured parallel to the direction of the force. (6) Calibrate the balance by observing the extension produced by known weights. Use extensions equal to or somewhat larger than those obtained with the film. (c) Make a new rectangle, 4 cm. wide; clean the beaker thoroughly; and repeat (a) with water fresh from the tap. As a film of no appreciable height will form with water, take the reading of the balance without the film when the under side of the upper wire of the rectangle is just above the surface of the water and not in contact with it; and again, after immersing the upper wire of the rectangle so as to wet it, take a reading when it breaks away from the surface. Repeat until consistent results are obtained, and average. (d) Repeat (c), using water at 50 C. or higher. (e) Repeat (c), using alcohol. 5-6] CAPILLARITY 25 (/") From the data taken in (a), state how the total tension in the film varies with its width. Calculate the surface tension, T, in dynes per cm., for the liquids used in (a), (c), (d), and ( be " obtained if the liquid is continuously and uniformly stirred. Make the necessary weighings. The water-equivalent may be found as explained under Calorimetry. (b) Repeat, using the other liquid. The water in the jacket should have the same initial temperature as in the first case. 10 20 JO 40 50 Fig. 5. Cooling curves of water and turpentine. (c) Plot the cooling curves of oil and water on co- ordinate paper, using temperatures as ordinates and corresponding times as abscissae. (See Fig. 5.) Since the temperature range must be the same in the two cases, draw two lines parallel to the axis of abscissae, marking 50 HEAT OF FUSION BY METHOD OF MIXTURES [14-15 off equal temperature intervals on the two curves. Make this temperature interval as long as possible, consistant with accuracy. The intersections of these lines with the curves will give >the times required. Calculate the specific heat of the oil. If the water had not been changed between the two sets of observations, in what way would the value for the specific heat of the oil have been affected? What source of error still remains even if the water in the jacket is changed before the second measurement? Suggest a way to avoid this uncertainty. 15. HEAT OF FUSION BY METHOD OF MIXTURES. To determine the heat of fusion of Wood's Alloy by the method of mixtures. The melted alloy, with container, is plunged into water in a calorimeter cup. The following changes occur wherein heat is given out: (1) The alloy cools as a liquid from the temperature of the hot water-bath down to the freezing point of the alloy, (2) the alloy changes from a liquid to a solid without change of temperature, (3) the alloy cools as a solid from its freezing point down to the final temperature of the mixture in the calorimeter, (4) meanwhile the nickle crucible and the copper cage cool from the temperature of the hot water-bath to the final temperature of the mixture. The changes wherein heat is absorbed are those accompanying the rise in temperature of the nickeled brass calorimeter cup and contents form the initial temperature of the cold water up to the final temperature of the mixture. From these data, if the 15] HEAT OF FUSION. WOOD'S ALLOY 51 specific heat of the metal in the solid and in the liquid state be known, the heat of fusion may be found. (a) Make the necessary weighings. Determine the melting point by melting the alloy and noting its freezing point on cooling. The heating is conveniently done in a water bath. The thermometer must be placed in the water, and not in the alloy, as the liquid alloy wets the glass. Set up the calorimeter, using the sensitive thermometer. The procedure outlined under (d) gives the desired result with accuracy only in case the initial temperature of the water is the same as that of the room. (b) Bring the water to the boiling point, taking care that no water gets inside the crucible containing the alloy. Remove the crucible, and quickly lower it into the calorimeter, right side up. Note the time when the crucible is immersed in the cold water. Then, at the end of every 5 minutes for 15 minutes, read the temperature of the mixture, keeping it well stirred meanwhile. Do not leave the gas burning near the calorimeter. (c) Repeat (a) and (b) to check your work. (d) Let M be the mass of the alloy; m, the mass of the nickle crucible; W, the mass of the water in the calorimeter cup plus the water-equivalent of the cup, thermometer, and stirrer; si, the specific heat of the liquid alloy; s 2 , that of the solid alloy; s 3 , that of the nickel crucible; s 4 , that of the copper cage; T, the melt- ing point of the alloy; ti, the initial temperature of the alloy and crucible; to, the initial temperature of the calorimeter and contents; /, the final temperature; and L, the heat of fusion per gram of the alloy. Write the 52 HEAT OF FUSION. WOOD'S ALLOY [15 proper equation representing the transfer of heat in the above process, using the symbols indicated, and solve the equation for L. Take the value of the specific heat of substances involved from the table on page 65. From each set of data calculate the heat of fusion of the alloy, and take the average. In order to obtain for each set the value of t, the temperature of the mixture after the immersion of the alloy, proceed as follows: Plot the times as abscissae and the temperature as or- dinates, and draw the straight line which most nearly represents the plotted points. This straight line gives the rate of cooling of the mixture, and will, when prolonged backward to intersection with the axis of ordinates, give 20* i S 10 IS Fig. 6. Showing the method of finding the radiation correction. 15-16] FUEL VALUE OF ALCOHOL 53 the temperature which the mixture would have had if its temperature had been made uniform the instant that the alloy entered it. (e) Calculate the probable error of your result. Point out the principal sources of error in the experiment. Examine the equation set up in (d) and state why only a rough determination of the melting point of the alloy is necessary? 16. FUEL VALUE OF ALCOHOL. To find the amount of heat generated by the combustion of unit mass of the sample furnished. The Junker calorimeter is used (Fig. 7). This consists of a double-walled copper vessel provided with an inner cavity C for running water and with a number of tubes or flues FF for the heated gases from the flame. The heat given up by the gases during their passage through these tubes passes by conduction into the stream of water which flows continuously through the calorimeter from the inlet / to the outlet O. A thermometer T 2 placed at I registers the temperature of the water entering the calorimeter and a second thermometer T\ at registers the temperature of the water leaving it. A steady flow of water is maintained by means of an overflow reservoir placed above the level 6f the calorimeter and kept filled with faucet-water. The warm water, as it issues from the outlet O, is caught in a beaker and weighed. The heat gained by the water is measured by the pro- duct m s t, where ra is the mass of water caught in a given time, s its specific heat, and t the rise in temperature be- tween I and O. This is only an approximate measure of 54 FUEL VALUE OF ALCOHOL [16 the heat liberated by the combustion of the gas since some heat is lost by conduction and radiation while the water is flowing through the calorimeter. (a) Arrange the calorimeter as shown in the figure. Place the overflow reservoir in position so that, when connected with the orifice I, a steady flow of water through the calorimeter will be established. For this purpose it will be found necessary to keep the level of the water constant. This can be done by adjusting the flow of O Fig. 7. Junker's Calorimeter. water from the faucet to the reservoir in such a way as to keep the water-level constant. The rate of flow is conveniently controlled by a pinch-cock. Weigh the alcohol lamp, after filling it, light it at a noted time and place it in position. When the conditions have become steady, as shown by the constancy of the temperatures registered by the 16-17] PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS 55 thermometers Ti and T 2 , place a beaker in position to catch the water as it flows out at 0, and allow the flow to continue for a measured length of time until 200 gm. or more of water have passed. Record the time and the temperature at I and 0. Extinguish the lamp at a noted time and weigh. (6) Make two more determinations with the rate of flow of water different each time. (c) From the data in (a) and (b) calculate the heat liberated per gram of alcohol, assuming that the rate of consumption of alcohol is uniform. (d) Calculate the probable error of your result. To what sources of error is the method of this experiment subject? To what sources of error is the method of this experi- ment subject? The calorimeter may also be used to determine the fuel value of illuminating gas. In this case, in place of the weight of alcohol consumed, the quantities to be measured are volume of gas, corresponding time, baro- metric pressure and gas pressure. 17. THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS: STATICS. To verify the proposition that the sum of the moments about any axis, of forces in equilibrium^ is zero. When forces act on an extended body, they are not necessarily concurrent. The condition of translational equilibrium, however, is just the same as though they were. On the other hand, in order that a body be in 56 THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS [17 rotational equilibrium, the forces must also have zero, net, rotating effect. The rotating effect, or moment of a force, is measured by the product of the force by the normal distance to the axis about which rotation is considered. Since a body in equilibrium is in rotation about no axis, the forces must have zero rotating effect about any axis. As you will see in this experiment, when forces have zero moment about one axis, their moment about any other axis is also zero. The apparatus used to test the principle consists of a circular table with a movable disk resting on bicycle balls. The disk may be pivoted in the center if desired. To pegs, placed at will in the disk, cords are attached which pass over pulleys clamped at different points around the cir- cular table. From the ends of the cords are suspended known masses whose weight produces the forces required. (a) Place the disk on four bicycle balls, widely sepa- rated, and level up the table so that the disk will not tend to move in any one direction in preference to another. Pivot the disk in the center and place a sheet of manila paper upon it. Attach cords to it at three different points chosen at random; and, placing the pulleys at any convenient points, add masses until two of the forces have large values. Adjust the third force, both as to magnitude and direction, until no motion results on removing the peg. See that the disk is free to move on the bicycle balls and that the cords all lie in a plane close to and parallel to the top of the disk; then mark points or lines on the paper to indicate the directions of the forces. Note the magnitude of each force, including the weight of the hanger. (b) Repeat (a), using four forces instead of three. 17] THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS 57 (c) On the papers used, trace the lines of direction of the forces, and make the necessary measurements to determine their moments about a point chosen at random. Find the sum of these moments, taking those as positive which tend to produce a counter-clockwise rotation about the given axis, and those as negative which tend to produce a clockwise rotation. Select in turn as centers of moments three points as widely separated as possible. Find the sum of the moments for each of these centers and do this for both (a) and (b). Put your work in neat tabular form. Give in each case the percent deviation from the mean between the sum of the positive moments and the sum of the negative moments. (d) Prolong two of the lines in (a) until they inter- sect. At what distance from the intersection is the third line at its nearest point? Assuming the principle of moments to be true, give a reason why three forces in equilibrium must be concurrent. Does the same reason apply to four forces? Do the four forces in (6) intersect in a single point? A ladder leaning against a smooth vertical wall is prevented from sliding by the reaction of the ground. Assuming that the force which the wall exerts against the ladder is horizontal, find, by construction, the force exerted on the ladder by the ground. 58 THE PARALLELOGRAM LAW [18 18. THE PARALLELOGRAM LAW: STATICS To verify the parallelogram law by means of the force- table. The force-table is a device for applying known forces at a common point so as to make known angles with each other. When the forces are in equilibrium, the point on which they act will not change position when released. The law will be verified in two different ways, for two different force-groups. (1) In the graphical method, the forces are repre- sented by lines. Every force is characterized by a mag- nitude and a direction. The line representing the force may exhibit the magnitude of the force by its length, and the direction by its direction. It should be drawn with a dot at one end and an arrowhead at the other. A diagram in which each force is represented by such a line is called a force-diagram. Unknown forces may be determined by direct measurement on such a diagram. (2) In the method of components, use is made of the proposition that when a point is in equilibrium, the sum of the components of forces acting on it taken parallel to any direction is zero. (a) Set up the force-table, and adjust three large forces, not equal, and not forming right-angles with each other. Two of the forces should be set with the pin in place, and the third adjusted, both as to direction and magnitude, so as to secure equilibrium when the pin is removed. Record the circular scale readings and the forces. Include the weight of the hangers with that of the weights. 18] THE PARALLELOGRAM LAW 59 (b) Repeat (a), using four forces instead of three. (c) Draw the force- diagram for each of the two cases accurately to scale, with the protractor and dividers. In the first case, construct a parallelogram on any two of the forces, and determine their equilibrant. Record the deviation between this and the third force, both as to magnitude and direction. In the second case, lay off three of the forces in succession to form a force-polygon, and compare the vector required to close the polygon with the fourth force. Also determine, in each of the two cases, the component of each of the forces parallel to some line not coinciding in direction with any of the forces. No diagram is necessary, but you may find it convenient. The com- ponent is calculated simply by multiplying the magnitude of the force by the cosine of the angle through which it is projected. To estimate error, express the percent difference from the mean .of the algebraic sums of the components. Tabulate all results neatly. Solve the following problem: Three men stand in a row on top of a wall and pull a heavy load up the wall by means of ropes attached to the load. The angles at which the ropes act on the load are +22, -12, and -25, measured from the vertical. Each man pulls with the same force. What fraction of the load does each man lift? Calling the load W and the force each man exerts F, write the equation for vertical components. Solve this equation for F, and then find the vertical component of the force exerted by each man. Check your solution by adding vertical components to see if they equal the total load. 60 PHYSICAL TABLES USEFUL NUMERICAL RELATIONS. Mensuration. Circle: circumference = 27rr; area = 7rr z .

the third figure, then increase this mantissa by an amount depending upon the fourth figure of the number and found by means of the interpolation columns at the right; secondly, determine the characteristic, or the exponent of that integer power of 10 which lies next in value below the number; for example, log 600- 0.7782 f 2.; log 73.46=0.8661 + 1.; log .006=0.7782-3.; log .7346=0.8661-1.; log 6.003= 0.7784 + 0. ; log 7349= 0.8662 + 3. The logarithm of a product of two or more numbers is the sum of the logarithms of its factors; for example, log. (.0821 X 463.2)= (0.9143 -2.) + (0.6658 + 2.) = 0.5801 + 1. The logarithm of a quotient is the difference between the logar- ithms of the dividend and divisor; for example, log. (.5321 -916)= (0.7260-1.) - (0.9619 + 2.) = 0.7641-4. The logarithm of a power or root of a number is the exponent times the logarithm of the number; for example, log V.863) 3 =3/2 X (0.9360 1.) = 0.9040 -1. To find the number from its logarithm: Locate in the table the mantissa next less than the given mantissa, then join the figure standing above it at the top of the table to the two figures at the extreme left on the same line as the mantissa, and finally to these three join the figure at the top of the interpolation column which contains the difference between the two mantissae. In the four- figure number thus found, so place the decimal point that the number shall be the product of some number, that lies between 1 and 10, by a power of 10 whose exponent is the characteristic of the logarithm. For example, antilog (0.6440 + 3) = 4405; antilog (0.3069 -2) = .02027. Caution. In adding and subtracting logarithms it is well to remember that the mantissa is always essentially positive and may or may not therefore, have the same sign as its characteristic.

To determine the ratio of the weight unit of force to the absolute unit of force. When the body is acted upon by a constant force, its motion is uniformly accelerated. The force required to produce a given acceleration is directly proportional to the mass on which it acts and to the acceleration produced in the mass. When a body moves under the influence of its own weight, it moves with a certain characteristic accelera- tion, which is the same for all bodies in any given locality. If large bodies are acted on by proportionally large forces, their large mass operates to prevent the increased acceleration which would otherwise occur. Weight- force is rigorously proportional to mass. When a body moves under the influence of some force other than weight, the acceleration produced is propor- tional to the force acting. In weight units, the force exerted on unit mass by the earth is called unit force. In unit mass, it produces an acceleration equal to the characteristic acceleration produced by weight. In absolute units, the force producing unit acceleration in unit mass is called unit force, (the dyne). The ratio of the weight unit to the absolute unit is numerically equal to the acceleration produced by weight-force. In this experiment, the acceleration produced in a given body by a given force will be directly measured, and the force producing the acceleration calculated in 6 UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION [26 absolute units. Knowing the accelerating force in weight units, the ratio of the units may be calculated. The acceleration is to be measured by a device by means of which the body, as it moves, leaves a trace which enables us to infer the position of the body at any instant during its motion. Two forms of apparatus are used. In one, the moving body is a tuning-fork which traces a wavy line on a fixed whitened glass plate. In the other, the fork is stationary and the plate moves. In both, the body moves vertically, between guides. The body may fall freely, under the influence of its weight alone; or, by means of a pulley and counter- weight, the force acting may be reduced to any desired value. (a) Paint the plate with a thin coat of corn-starch, mixed with alcohol. The alcohol will evaporate and leave a surface on which the trace may be taken. Level the apparatus carefully. If the body does not move vertically, friction in the guides will cause error. Adjust the stylus on the fork so that it presses very lightly against the plate. If the stylus does not press tightly enough, parts of the trace may be missing. But if it presses too hard, friction will interfere with the proper motion of the stylus. The traces to be taken are five in number. If con- ditions are favorable, all may be obtained on one plate, and in case this is possible, postpone the measurement of the traces until all of them are ready. Otherwise, the measurements must be taken before the plate is prepared for new traces. First obtain a trace with the body falling freely. To be usable, the trace must be distinct over a distance of at least 30 to 40 cm. 26] UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION 7 For the second trace use a counterweight weighing 300 grams less than the falling fork or plate; then, in succession, others giving accelerating forces of 200 and 100 grams. Finally, by using all the counterweights, reduce the acceperating weight-force to zero. Give the moving system a push, and take a fifth trace showing the negative acceleration due to friction. If the friction were not acting, all the observed accelerations would be greater. (b) In measuring the traces, proceed as follows. Mark the crests of a convenient odd number of consecutive waves near the beginning and also near the end of the trace. Lay the meter stick on the trace and read off the positions of the crests which were marked. Count the number of unmarked crests between those whose posi- tions are noted. Record the vibration frequency marked on the fork. (c) Obtain the mean velocity for the intervals at the beginning and end of each trace by dividing the length of the interval by the corresponding time. This time interval is calculated from the number of wave-lengths in the interval and the frequency of the fork. Determine the number of wave-lengths lying between the centers of the two intervals. The change of velocity during the time interval between these two middle points, divided by the time interval, gives the change in velocity per second, or the acceleration. (d) Make out a table, containing the following columns: (1) acceleration; (2) acceleration, corrected for 8 CENTRIPETAL FORCE [26-27 effect of friction; (3) mass of body accelerated; (4) force acting on body, in absolute units; (5) force acting on body, in weight units (e) By comparing your different values for the ratio of the two units with their mean, estimate the probable error of your work. 27. CENTRIPETAL FORGE. References. Duff, pp. 23, 24, 25; Kimball, pp. 75, 76. To determine the force necessary to keep a body of given mass in a circle of given radius, while it moves with con- stant speed. Experience shows that a body in motion will continue to move with the same speed in the same straight line, unless acted upon by some outside force. An outside force, if acting in the direction of the motion, will cause a change in speed; if acting at right angles to the direction of motion, it will cause no change in speed, but will cause a change in the direction of the motion. A body in motion always moves in a straight line, unless there is a force applied causing it to leave the straight line. If the force perpendicular to the line of the motion be momen- tarily supplied, the direction of the motion is changed, but the body afterward moves in a straight line at an angle with its former direction. If the force be continu- ously applied, the body moves in a curved path. If the body be kept in a circular path, a force of definite magnitude must be continuously applied to the body, the direction of the force being always perpendicular to the instantaneous direction of the motion. Since the instantaneous direction of motion is along the tangent, the force perpendicular to the direction of motion must be 27] CENTRIPETAL FORCE 9 along the radius of the circle. If the force ceases to be applied, the body ceases to leave the straight line and hence continues to move in the tangent to the circle at the position occupied by the body at the instant the force ceased to act. The force, /, required to maintain motion in a circle of radius, r, of a mass, w, moving with rim speed, v, and angular speed, co, is f = k m v 2 / r, or since co r = v, f = k m co 2 r. If the quantities m, v, and r are expressed in C. G. S. units the factor k will be unity and the force will be given in dynes. To a rotator is attached the "centripetal force" appar- atus. Two masses, nti and w 2 , are arranged to slide along the horizontal guides. One of these, m\, is attached, by means of cords passing over pulleys, to a large mass M, which can slide up and down along the vertical rod. As the speed of rotation is increased, more and more force must be supplied in order to hold it to a circular path. Finally, when the speed passes a certain value, the force necessary to keep the mass moving in its circu- lar path is greater than the weight of M can supply, so the mass M is lifted. Its weight, Mg dynes, represents the normal or centripetal force it supplies to the mass m\. (a) To determine the radius for m\, measure the dis- tance from the center of rotation to the center of the mass wi when the mass M is against the lower stop and again when it is against the upper stop and take the average of these distances as the radius r\. Fix m 2 at a distance r\ from the center of rotation. Note the value of the masses. The speed is to be calculated from a determination of the number of revolutions in a measured time. This 10 THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS [27-28 may be most accurately determined by measuring the time required for some even number of hundreds of revo- lutions, starting and stopping the stop-clock while the apparatus is in motion. To eliminate friction the speed should be so regulated that the mass M slowly rises and then falls between the stops continuously during a trial, which should occupy from three to five minutes. Make two more determinations of the speed with the masses at the same distance. (b) Make several additional trials, selecting each time a different value of the mass M, or of the distance of mi and w 2 from the axis. (c) For each trial, test the equality of the weight, (Mg), and. the calculated centripetal force required, and determine the percentage difference from the weight. (d) Point out the principal sources of error in the experiment. 28. THE SIMPLE PENDULUM. Reference. Duff, pp. 78, 82. To determine the acceleration due to gravity from the observed period and length of a simple pendulum. If a conical pendulum and a simple pendulum have the same length, /, and each is oscillating through a small amplitude (2 or less) the periods are equal. The projec- tion of the motion of the conical pendulum on any diameter corresponds to that of the simple pendulum. If r is the radius of the circle the conical pendulum describes, the force toward the center is constant and 28] THE SIMPLE PENDULUM 11 Fig. 1. Showing a conical pendulum (a) and a simple pendulum (b) of the same length. its value is m v* / r or m co 2 r, where v is its linear and co its angular velocity. In t seconds after the conical pendulum has passed one end of the diameter shown in (a) the angle turned through is co/ and the component of the centripetal force along this diameter will be m co 2 r cos co t. Let x be the projection of r on the diameter at this instant. Then cos co t = x / r, and the component of the force along the diameter becomes m co 2 x. When the simple pendulum is an equal distance, x, from its rest position the force urging it toward its rest position is / = m g x / I. If the two pendulums have the same mass, m, these forces must be equal. Then m g x / /, or co 2 = g / I. In any circular motion of period 7, coT = 2w. Substituting this value of co in the preceding equation and solving for T we have T - 27T 12 THE SIMPLE PENDULUM 128 Method of Coincidences. In the present experiment, T is to be measured by comparing, by the "method of coincidences," the period of the simple pendulum with that of a clock pendulum of known period. An electric circuit is completed through an electric bell, the clock pendulum, the simple pendulum, and the contacts at the bottom of each pendulum. As- sume that the period of the clock pendulum is two seconds, that is, that the time of a single swing or half-vibration is one second. If the period of the simple pendulum were the same and the two pendulums be started together, they would vibrate in coincidence and the bell would ring with every passage. If, however, the time of a single swing of the simple pendulum were less than one second, say by l/n th of a second, it would gain on the clock pendulum and thus fall out of coincidence with it, so that the bell would cease to ring until n seconds later, when the two pendulums would be in coincidence again. Let us suppose that the time between these successive coinci- dences is 100 seconds, then we know that in this time the clock pendulum has made one hundred half-vibrations and the simple pendulum one more, or 101 half-vibrations. In other words, the simple pendulum has made 101 half- vibrations in 100 seconds, hence the value of its half- period is 100/101 seconds. If, on the other hand, the simple pendulum had been observed to lag behind the clock pendulum, and the time between successive coinci- dences remained the same, we would know that its half- period is 100/99 seconds. (a) The simple pendulum used consists of a brass sphere suspended from a knife-edge by a wire so that the length is adjustable. Adjust the pendulum so that its length is either greater or less, by 2 or 3 cm., than that of a simple pendulum beating seconds. Two different lengths 28] THE SIMPLE PENDULUM 13 (in successive determinations) should be used such that one is greater and the other less than that of a pendulum beating seconds. In getting the length it is well to measure with a meter rod and square to the top of the ball, and then to determine the diameter of the ball with the cali- pers. The length of the pendulum is the distance from the knife-edge to the center of the ball. Start the ball swinging in an arc of about 10 cm., taking care not to give it a twisting vibratory motion. During the vibra- tions watch the hands of the laboratory clock and record the hour, minute and second of each successive coinci- dence between the simple pendulum and the clock pendu- lum, up to ten or more. If the bell rings for more than one swing during each coincidence, take the mean of the times of the first and last rings as the time of the coin- cidence. (6) To obtain from the data a more precise average value of the time between successive coincidences, proceed as follows: Find the difference in time between the first and sixth coincidences, the second and seventh, and so on, and take the mean. From this the average time be- tween successive coincidences may be found and the period calculated. Be sure to note whether the pendulum was gaining or losing on the clock. (c) Calculate the value of g for the two cases and take the mean. (d) What effect would be produced upon the vibration of a pendulum by carrying it, (1) to a mountain top, (2) from the equator to the pole of the earth? In what way does the pendulum used in this experiment fall short of the requirements for a simple pendulum? What is the object of taking a small amplitude of vibration? 14 MOMENTUM [29 29. MOMENTUM. The object of this experiment is to make a direct test of the truth of the second law of motion in the form in which the law was stated by Newton, viz. : that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force producing it. Incidentally it also serves to determine the acceleration of gravity. The apparatus consists of a brass plate about fifteen inches long and two and a half inches wide to which is soldered, near the bottom, a funnel of sheet brass with a small re-entrant funnel at its mouth and with a side outlet. At the upper end of the vane are two project- ing knife edges. (a) Weigh the vane. Locate its center of gravity and measure the distance from the line of the knife edges to the center of gravity, the distance from the line of the knife edges to the center of the funnel. (b) Measure the diameter of the nozzle with the comparator. (c) Adjust the vane so that it swings freely about a horizontal axis and direct a small swift stream of water from the nozzle horizontally into the funnel. Arrange a scale parallel to the stream and near one side of the vane. Measure its distance from the knife edge. When conditions are steady, make five determinations of the weight of water which is discharged in measured time intervals, noting in each case the deflection of the vane. (d) From the diameter of the nozzle and the quantity of water discharged in a second calculate the initial 28-29] MOMENTUM 15 speed of the water. Assume that the final speed is zero and calculate the change of momentum per second. The deflecting force moment is that due to the impact of the water jet, the restoring force moment is that due to the weight of the vane. When the vane is in equilibrium these two moments are equal. Let the mass of the vane be M, the angle of deflection a, the force of the water F, the distance from the line of the knife edges to the center of gravity /, the distance from the line of the knife edges to the center of the funnel L, then F L cos a = M sin a, and F = M I tan a/ L Using this expression calculate the force F in grams. Find the ratio of the rate of change of momentum to the force in each case and determine its mean value. The constancy of this ratio affords a verification of the law: and the mean value measures the acceleration of gravity. 30. MOMENT OF INERTIA. A heavy disk is mounted so that it may be set in motion by a mass, m, suspended by a cord wound on its cir- cumference. An electrically driven tuning fork presses a stylus against one side which has been smoked in a gum camphor flame. The opposite side has a circular scale graduated in degrees and two microscopes are mounted, one on either side, to facilitate angular measurements. The moment of inertia of a body is defined as 7 = w 1 r 1 2 . For a solid disk this may be shown by elementary calculus 16 MOMENT OF INERTIA [30 to be M R 2 / 2, when M is the mass and R the radius of the disk. When torque L = M g R acts on the disk, an angular acceleration a. is produced such that L-Ia (1) This may be written in the form I = L / a (constant) (2) If the torque L acts for time t, we may write Lt = I at = lu (3) where co = a. Ms the final angular velocity of the disk, supposing it to have started from rest. This may be written / = L t / co (constant) (4) If 6 is the angle turned through in time / starting from rest, 6 = t co/2. Multiply each side of equation (3) by this value and we obtain, on cancelling t, L 6 = / coV2 (5) The product L 6 represents the work done by the torque in turning through the angle 6, expressed in radians. The work may also be represented by m g s where 5 is the distance the mass, m, falls, in giving the disk its velocity co. Equation (5) may be written in the form / = 2L 6 I co 2 (constant) (6) If the weight falls for exactly one turn, 6 = 2 TT. (a) Set the disk so that one edge of it projects past the edge of the table. Smoke one side of the disk. Tie a thread to the 50 gm. wt. of just sufficient length that it does not quite slip off the peg as the weight touches the floor. Wind the thread up exactly one full turn (one circumference of the disk) as shown by the micro- scope and set the brake. Connect the dry cells to the 30] MOMENT OF INERTIA 17 two binding posts on the tuning fork and, after starting it, adjust the nut on the end of the axis till the stylus presses tightly against the disk. Release the brake and turn the handle on the rack only slowly so that the trace on the smoked surface will be a spiral with the successive turns pretty close together. Allow the disk to turn at least two full turns after the weight strikes the floor before applying the brake. The negative acceleration due to friction is to be obtained from this part of the trace. (6) Take the disk from its bearings and mark with the pin the first distinguishable wave crest and number it 0. Mark the 10th, 20th, 40th, 80th, 120, etc., crests. The falling weight should have touched the floor at the end of exactly one turn. Slip ten or more waves on each side of this point and begin again marking the Oth, 40th, 80th, etc., wave crest. (c] Replace the disk in its bearings and set the two microscopes. Read the angular positions of the start and of the interval marks and record. If n is the frequency of the tuning fork, 40 / n sec. is the time interval between two successive marks. The difference of successive readings gives the angular distance in degrees passed over in 40 / n sec. The difference of these successive angular distances gives the angular acceleration in degrees per 40 / n sec. per 40 / n sec. In like manner determine the negative acceleration due to friction and correct the previous value. Express the acceleration in radians / sec. / sec. (d) Repeat (a) using a 100 gm. suspended weight. (e) Plot a curve for each trial using vibrations (0, 40, 80, etc.) as ordinates and the corresponding angular position readings as abscissae. Prolong the curve to 18 MECHANICAL EQUIVALENT OF HEAT [30-31 show the vibration numbers corresponding to the start- ing point of the trace, and 360 later. Read from the curve the . total number of vibrations made while the disk was turning through the first 360. This gives the time interval t. Determine the angular velocity o> from the angular distance passed over in several 40 wave intervals after the weight had struck the floor. (/) Substitute the known values for each trial in formulae (2), (4) and (6) and compare the value of / found with the value of MR 2 / 2. Compare m g s with I o> / 2. Question: In falling, all the potential energy of the falling mass does not go into kinetic energy of rotation of the disk but some remains as kinetic energy of the falling mass (mv 2 /2). This was ignored in the ex- periment. Are the consequent experimental values of / too large or too small? 31. MECHANICAL EQUIVALENT OF HEAT To determine the mechanical equivalent of heat by Callendar's method. The number of units of mechanical work which is equiv- alent to the calorie of heat is called the mechanical equiva- lent of heat. Most of the methods employed in determin- ing it produce the heat by means of mechanical work done against friction. In Callendar's method a measur- able amount of work done against the friction between a stationary silk belt and a revolving vessel is converted into heat in a known mass of water contained in the vessel. The apparatus consists of a brass cylindrical vessel which contains a known mass of water and whose axis is horizontal. This cylinder can be rotated at a moderate speed by hand or by motor. Over the surface 31] MECHANICAL EQUIVALENT OF HEAT 19 of the cylinder a silk belt is wound so as to make one and a half complete turns. From the ends of this belt are sus- pended known masses, adjusted so as to provide a force- moment which will oppose the rotation of the vessel. An automatic adjustment for equilibrium is secured by the use of a light spring balance which acts in direct opposition to the weight at the lighter end of the belt. This spring balance contributes only a small part to the effective difference of load between the two ends of the belt, hence small errors in its reading are relatively unimportant. The masses suspended from the belt are approximately adjusted by trial to suit the friction of the belt, the final adjustment being automatically effected by the spring balance. A counter registers the number of revolutions; and a bent thermometer, inserted through a central open- ing in the front end of the cylinder, measures the tem- perature. If M is the mass at the heavier end of the belt, m the mass at the lighter end, and F the reading of the spring balance, then the force acting to oppose the rotation of the cylinder is (M - m + F) g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. The work done in overcoming this force during one revolution of the cylinder is 2wr (M - m + F) g. If, in n revolutions, the water of mass W is raised from TV* C. to r 2 C., we have, by equating the work done and the heat generated: (1) 2irrn (M - m + F) g = (W + w) (T* - 7\ + R) J, where w is the water-equivalent of the cylinder and the thermometer, .R is a temperature-correction to compensate for radiation, conduction, and the viscosity of the water, and J is the mechanical equivalent of heat. (a) Fill the cylinder half full of water at room tem- perature. Do not use the bent thermometer to determine 20 MECHANICAL EQUIVALENT OF HEAT [31 the room temperature, as bending may have shifted its true scale above the bend. Suspend masses from the ends of the belt, so that, when the cylinder is rotated at moderate speed, the masses hang free. Read the temperature t\ of the water, loosen the belt so as to eliminate the friction between it and the cylinder, and give 100 turns of the cylinder, at the rate just deter- mined. Record the final temperature 2 . This is done to determine the rate at which the temperature of the water is changing, due to radiation, conduction, and the vis- cosity of the water, just before the run in (b) is made. (b) Adjust the belt and masses as at first, read the temperature Ti of the water and rotate the cylinder at uniform speed until the temperature has risen about 3 or 4 degrees. Again record the temperature T 2 . Record the number of revolutions n, the masses M and m, and the force F. (c) Loosen the belt and give 100 turns at about the the same rate as used in (b), recording the initial and final temperatures t 3 and i*. This is done to determine the rate at which the temperature is changing, due to radiation, conduction, and the viscosity of the water, just after the run in (b) is made. (d) For the n revolutions of (b), the loss in temper- ature due to radiation, conduction, and the viscosity of the water is (2) R=^L (*.-*. + *.-*) 100 2 From the data and equations (1) and (2) determine the value of /. (e) Point out the principal sources of error. 32] EFFLUX OF GASES 21 32. EFFLUX OF GASES. RELATIVE DENSITIES* The object of this experiment is to find the relative densities of certain gases from the observation of the relative times of efflux of equal volumes of these gases through a small aperture. The ratio of the densities of two gases, under the same conditions as to pressure, is equal, very approximately, to the inverse ratio of the squares of the speeds with which the gases escape through a fine openijig in a dia- phragm. Since the time of escape of a given volume will be inversely as the speed of efflux, it follows that the ratio of the densities of two gases is equal to the direct ratio of the squares of the time of efflux of equal volumes under the same conditions. This relation was experimentally dis- covered by Bunsen. For a proof of it, from the energy relations, see Duff, Sect. 230. The gas-holder consists of a glass bulb, at the top of which is a three-way stop-cock and a diaphragm with a fine opening. The bulb is connected with a reservoir of oil of low vapor pressure. The three-way cock allows communication to be made with the outside for filling or with the diaphragm. (a) First fill the bulb with dry air. To do this, turn the stop-cock so as to put the bulb in communication with the air, and allow the oil to fill the bulb. This drives out most of the contained gas. Connect the bulb with the calcium chloride drying tube and raise the plunger in the reservoir. This operation will fill the bulb, and by repeatedly emptying and filling the bulb, it will become practically freed of the moist air or other gas previously contained in it. 22 EFFLUX OF GASES [32 Turning the stop-cock so that the gas in the bulb is in communication with the diaphragm, note the time when the surface of the oil is on a level with the lower mark on the bulb. Again note the time when the oil passes the upper mark on the bulb and quickly close the stop-cock. Repeat, making two or three determinations of the time of efflux for the given volume of air, and take the mean. (6) Repeat (a), filling the bulb with illuminating gas, following the directions there given for filling the bulb, the bulb being connected directly to the source of the gas used. Note the time of efflux between the same two positions used in (a). This insures the same con- ditions as to pressure in the two cases. (c) Repeat the experiment, using dry carbon dioxide. (d) Calculate the relative densities, referred to air, of the gas used in (6). Taking the density of dry air under standard conditions to be 0.001293 gm. per cc., find the density, under standard conditions, of the gases used. What laws have been used, or assumptions made, in answering the requirement of the preceding sentence? 33] CALIBRATION OF A SET OF WEIGHTS 23 33. CALIBRATION OF A SET OF WEIGHTS By the calibration of a set of weights is meant the determination of the amount by which each one of them is in error. The simplest way of doing this is by com- paring each weight with a standard of the same nominal (marked) value. When no set of standards is available, it is sufficient to know the variation within a given set of weights from their marked values. This method of calibration* is based on the assumption that one of the weights of the set is correct. The errors in the others are then determined by the following proceedure: Assuming provisionally that one of the smaller weights of the set is correct, we determine the errors in all the other weights using this as our standard. When the error in the largest weight is known in terms of this standard, we reverse matters and adopt the largest weight as a permanent standard, and recalculate the errors on this basis. The largest weight is adopted as the permanent standard because it is least likely to be in error. (a) The comparisons are best carried out by the method of substitution. Place the 1' gram piece on the left-hand pan and balance it approximately by means of the rough unadjusted 1 gram weight. Take two sets of observations for the determination of the rest point by the method of vibrations, and determine the sensitive- ness of the balance for this load, using the rider, if necess- sary, to secure a rest point which is on the scale. Now replace the 1' gram piece by the 1" gram piece to be compared with it. The two are distinguished by *Richards, The Jour, of the Am. Chem. Soc., vol. 22, 1900. 24 CALIBRATION OF A SET OF WEIGHTS [33 small dots punched above and to the right of figure 1. Do not change the load in the right-hand pan (tare). Take readings for a new determination of the rest point. Take similar readings for the 1'" gram piece. (6) Place the 2 gram piece on the left-hand pan and balance it approximately by means of the unadjusted 2 gram weight (tare). Make two determinations of the rest point, and then, replacing the 2 gram weight with the 1' and I" gram weights, make two further deter- minations. (c) Proceeding in this way, compare the 5 gram piece with the sum of the 2 ' + I' + I" + I'", and the 10' gram piece with the sum of the 5+2 + 1' + 1" + 1'", deter- mining the sensitiveness with each load. (d) From the rest point and sensibility observations in (a), determine the values of the 1" gram and V" gram pieces in terms of the V as a standard, remembering that an increase in weight shifts the rest point towards the larger numbers. Using the corrected value of the 1" gram piece, deter- mine from your data taken in (b) the value of the 2 gram piece in terms of your provisional standard. Using these corrected values, determine in a similar fashion the value of the 5 and 10' gram pieces. Assuming that the 10' gram piece is to be your standard, find the proportional part of its value which should be assigned to the 5, 2, and 1 gram pieces. Tabulate your data and .results as follows : Place in the first column the nominal (marked) values of the weights; in the second column, the preliminary 33] CALIBRATION OF A SET OF WEIGHTS 25 values in terms of the 1' gram standard. Place in the third column the proportional part of the value of the 10' gram weight which should be assigned to each weight on the assumption that the 10' gram weight is your new standard. By subtracting the values in the third column from those in the second we obtain the corrections sought, which should be listed in column four. The values in grams with the 10' gram weight as the standard should be listed in column five. A sample tabulation is given below. Calibration of Weights, Set C-7, December, 1915, G. W.

ABSOLUTE CALIBRATION OF A THERMO- METER To plot a curve from which the true temperature may be obtained corresponding to each scale-reading of a given mercurial thermometer. Such a curve is called the calibration curve of the ther- mometer. The process of obtaining it is absolute since it does not involve comparison with a standard ther- mometer. This process consists, first, in determining the absolute corrections for two separate scale-readings on the thermometer, preferably near its fixed points, that is, the points on its scale corresponding to the tem- perature of melting ice and the temperature of water boiling under standard pressure. The thermometer tube between the two points is then calibrated because of the possibility that its bore may not be uniform, and the relative corrections thus determined are superimposed graphically upon the correction curve resulting from the absolute corrections at or near the two fixed points. (a) Calibration of the Tube. Break off a portion of the thread of mercury about ten degrees in length. For this purpose, first invert the thermometer and let enough mercury flow into the small cistern to fill it about half full; then, holding the thermometer in a horizontal position, tap or jar it lightly lengthways to break the mercury in the small cistern loose from the rest. The mercury in the stem will now flow back into the bulb and leave the stem free for the thread of mercury which must be jarred loose from the mercury in the small cis- tern. Ask for assistance, if necessary. Jar the lower end of the thread to the zero-point of the scale and read the position of the upper end (which 34] CORRECTION FOR THE FIXED POINTS 27 will be near the 10 mark) to tenths of a degree. Then jar the lower end of the thread to the 10 mark and read the upper end. Repeat with the lower end at the succes- sive points 20, 30, 40, etc., up to 90. Then take the readings in the reverse order, setting the upper end of the thread successively at 100, 90, etc., down to 10, and reading the position of the lower end each time. The object of these readings is to find the length of the thread in each of the ten intervals between and 100 ; by means of the two series it is possible to find the average value of the length of the thread for each interval. (6) Correction at the Lower Fixed Point. Put the thermometer through the cork in a test-tube, having filled the latter about half full of distilled water. Place the tube in a freezing mixture of shaved ice and salt, and stir the water around the thermometer until it begins to freeze. Read the thermometer. By warming the tube in the hand and repeating the freezing process, obtain several readings. (c) Correction Near the Upper Fixed Point. Place the thermometer through the cork in the tube at the top of the boiler, with the bulb well above the sur- face of the water. Boil the water so that the steam issues freely, but not with any perceptible pressure, from the vent. Read the thermometer when it becomes steady. Allow the boiler to cool slightly, and repeat, making three readings in all. If the instrument be provided with a water-manometer, take the manometer-reading simultaneously with the temperature-reading. Read the barometer. (d) Let the thermometer cool slowly to about the tem- perature of the room, and repeat (6). If the freezing point observed now is different from that observed in 28 CORRECTION FOR THE FIXED POINTS [34 (b), use the mean of the two values in the calibration that follows. (e) Assume that the temperature of freezing water is 0C. From the Tables take the true boiling-point temperature for the pressure observed in (c), find the corrections of the thermometer for the scale-readings observed in (b) and (c). Record these two corrections by points on coordinate paper, having as abscissae the -04 Fig- 2. This plot shows the calibration curve corresponding to the sample data given on page 18, with an observed freezing point of + 0.2C and boiling point of 99.4C when the true temperature was 99.8C. scale-readings of the given thermometer in degrees, and as ordinates the corresponding corrections in tenths of a degree but on a magnified scale. (See Fig. 2). Correc- tions should be plus (+) if they are to be added to the observed to give the true temperatures, minus (. ) if they are to be subtracted. 34] THERMOMETER CALIBRATION 29 Connect these two points by a straight line. The ordinate of this straight line at any point gives the cor- rection of the thermometer at that scale-reading on the assumption that the bore of the thermometer is uniform throughout the whole range. In general this assump- tion is not justified, and there must be added to this correction at each point another correction due to the inequalities of the diameter of the bore. In order to find the bore correction, proceed as follows. Determine the mean length of the thread in all of its different positions. If the bore were uniform, each of the observed lengths would equal this mean value. From the deviation between the observed and mean thread lengths, calculate the length which a thread whose mean length was exactly ten degrees would have when placed in the first interval. This would be in the same ratio to the observed thread length as ten degrees is to the mean thread length. We will call this the reduced thread length. An actual rise of exactly ten degrees in temperature will produce an apparent rise equal to this amount. The difference between this reduced thread length and ten degrees when the sign is reversed, gives the bore correction for a temperature of approximately ten degrees. Proceed similarly with each interval. The total cor- rection which must be applied at any point of the scale is found, by adding together the corrections for all the intervals below that point. Since, by definition, the mean thread length is one tenth the sum of all the observed thread lengths, the total bore correction at 100 will necessarily be zero. The sample set of data given below will illustrate the method. / is the observed thread length in a given interval, so THERMOMETER CALIBRATION [34 which may be an average of several determinations. L is its mean value for all intervals; r is the reduced thread length in a given interval. Its mean value is ten degrees. 10 - r gives the correction for each interval, and the sum of all such corrections gives the total at a certain point of the scale.

For this purpose plot points whose abscissae are 10, 20, 30, etc., and whose corresponding ordinates are found by measuring from the slanting line, already drawn, distances equal to the corresponding bore- corrections measuring up or down from this line accord- ing as the corrections are plus or minus. The smooth curve, which should now be drawn through these plotted points, is the calibration curve of the thermometer.

HEAT OF SOLUTION. To find the quantity of heat liberated by the solution of one gram of a given salt in water. When a salt is dissolved, the temperature may rise or fall, due to the liberation or absorption of heat energy. In the latter case, the heat of solution is said to be nega- tive. The amount of heat evolved depends on the final concentration of the solution, being greatest when the solution is carried to infinite dilution. The quantity of heat evolved is measured in terms of the change in temperature of the solution itself. Now the specific heat of a solution may differ very appreciably from the specific heat of water, and can only be accurately determined by experiment. Approximately, however, the heat capacity of a solution is the same as though it consisted of a simple mixture of water and the dissolved material, in the solid form. We will base our calculations on the assumption that error introduced by this approx- imation is negligible. The following thermal changes occur during solution: (1) Potential energy is transformed into heat (positive heat of solution) or heat into potential energy (negative heat of solution). (2) Heat is absorbed (or given up) by the water, calorimeter, etc., in changing from the initial to the final temperature. (3) Heat is absorbed (or given up) by the salt in changing from the room temperature to the final temperature reached by the solution. Calling M the mass of water used, W the water- equivalent of the calorimeter and accessories, w the water-equivalent of the solid salt, to the room temperature, 32 HEAT OF SOLUTION [35 ti and t z the initial and final temperatures respectively of the water, and 5 C the heat evolved per gram of solute on forming a solution of concentration c, write the equation which will enable you to calculate 5 C . (a) Fill the calorimeter about two-thirds full of water and, by weighing, determine the amount of water used. Weigh out a portion of the salt furnished, sufficient to give a 20 per cent solution (weight of salt 20 per cent of the total.) (b) The stopper and thermometer should fit tightly enough so that the whole calorimeter may be shaken to bring about uniform temperature in the water or solution. Shake until the water has reached a constant temperature. Throw in the salt, and after further shaking read the temperature when it has again become constant. Record the room temperature. (c) Repeat (a) and (b), using portions of salt giving concentrations of 15, 10, and 5 per cent, approximately. (d) Determine the water-eqiuvalent of the calorimeter and accessories by the method explained on page 44, Part 1 (Calorimetry). (e) Calculate the heat evolved per gram of solute in each of the three cases. Use the tabular value of specific heat for the solid salt, and assume it to be at room temperature before solution. Draw a curve showing the relation between heat evolved and concentration. The curve may be assumed to be a straight line, and when produced to the axis of zero concentration, gives the heat of solution. 35-36] HEAT OH NEUTRALIZATION 33 (/) To estimate the error of your result, read off the deviation of each plotted point from the curve. The mean deviation, expressed in per cent, gives the approx- imate probable error. 36. HEAT OF NEUTRALIZATION. When an aqueous solution of a strong acid is poured into an aqueous solution of a strong alkali until a neutral mixture is formed, the essential chemical reaction which occurs is the formation of water. For instance, if aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are made to form a neutral mixture, although the mixture is a solution of sodium chloride (table salt), the only chemical reaction occurring is the formation of water. The heat generated is called the heat of neutralization. The object of the present experiment is to determine the heat of neutral- ization corresponding to the formation of a gram-molecular weight of water. In the case just mentioned, this will occur when 1000 gm. each of normal solutions of the acid and the alkali are mixed. A 0.5 normal solution of each of the above compounds is furnished. By a normal solution is meant one which, in 1000 cubic centimeters of the solution, contains a mass of the compound (which is to enter into the new combination) equal in grams to its molecular weight. Thus the normal solution of sodium hydroxide is a solution which contains, in 1000 cc. of the solution, 40 gm. (23 + 16 + 1) of sodium hydroxide, or 23 gm. of sodium, 16 gm. of oxygen, and 1 gm. of hydrogen. The 0.5 normal solution contains one-half as much in -the same volume of solution. It is evident that if equal volumes of these solutions be mixed, the reaction will be just completed, and the 34 HEAT OF SOLUTION [36 result will be a neutral solution of sodium chloride. The solutions are to be mixed in the calorimeter cup at as nearly as possible the same temperature, and the resulting rise of temperature noted. The alkali should be placed in the cup, and the acid added to it. The acid, being immediately neutralized, will then have no action on the metal of the cup. (a) Measure out 100 cc. of the sodium hydroxide solution in the cup, and the same volume of the hydro- chloric acid solution in the beaker. Wet the inside of the beaker with the acid solution before pouring the measured amount into it. This is to compensate for the liquid which remains in the beaker when later it is emptied. A small error is introduced by taking the second ther- mometer out of the beaker after reading its temperature, but this may be neglected. If care has been taken not to handle the cup and beaker any more than is necessary, the two temperatures should be very nearly the same when ready for use. It may safely be assumed that the resulting solution of sodium chloride has risen to the final temperature from the mean of the two initial temperatures. Make two trials. (b) Repeat the work with solutions of potassium hydroxide and sulphuric acid. Calculate for each set of data the quantity of heat which would have been evolved if 1000 cc. of the normal solution had been used in each case. Will this cause the formation of one gram-molecular weight of water? The specific heat of the sodium chloride solution is 0.987 calories, of the potassium sulphate solution 0.985 calories per gram. 37] VARIATION OF BOILING POINT 35 37. VARIATION OF BOILING POINT WITH PRESSURE. References. Duff, pp. 227, 228; Kimball, p. 298. There are two methods employed in studying the variation in the boiling point of a liquid with the pressure upon its free surface. By the dynamic method the pressure above the boiling liquid is varied by means of an air-pump and the corresponding temperature observed. By the static method the temperature of the liquid, suitably enclosed, is varied by means of baths and the correspond- ing pressure observed. The object of the present experiment is to study the variation in the boiling point of water, employing the dynamic method. The apparatus consists of an air-tight boiler to hold the liquid, a steam-condenser, around which cold water cir- culates, an air-tight chamber large enough to equalize sudden changes in the pressure, an air-pump for reducing the pressure and a manometer for measuring the same. These are connected up in the order named and made air-tight so far as the air outside is concerned. (a) The circulation of water should first be started through the steam-condenser, which is a glass or metal tube to jacket the tube leading from the boiling-flask, thus condensing the steam as it comes from the flask. The thermometer should be passed through the stopper of the flask and so regulated that its bulb will be in the rising steam, and not in the water. The connection with the large glass bottle serves to equalize sudden changes in -.36 VARIATION OF BOILING POINT [37 pressure due to irregularities in the boiling. In heating the water do not play the flame on the flask directly under the glass beads, but rather to one side and below the water-line. First boil the water at atmospheric pressure, reading the manometer and noting the temperature. Then take a series of readings at intervals of about 5 cm. pressure, until the "bumping" becomes so violent as to render further readings impracticable. Before each reading, after pumping to the pressure desired, close the stop- cock over the jet-pump, wait a short time for the pressure to reach equilibrium, and then make the reading of boiler temperature and corresponding pressure. Put the pump again in connection, obtain a new pressure, and repeat the readings. Before turning off the water at the jet, be sure each time to let air into the apparatus by opening the pinch-cock nearest the pump, otherwise water will flow back into the tubing. (b) Take a series of readings with increasing pressures up to atmospheric pressure, choosing values different from the previous ones. (c) Plot the observations on coordinate paper, using pressures as ordinates and temperatures as abscissae. From the curve find the boiling point of water at a pressure of i atmosphere. (d) Discuss the phenomena of this experiment in connection with the difficulties experienced in cooking food at high altitudes. Could determinations of the boiling point of water be used to measure altitude, and how? 38] CONSTANT VOLUME AIR THERMOMETER 37 38. CONSTANT-VOLUME AIR- THERMOMETER. References. Duff, p. 202. The object of this experiment is to study the law of varia- tion of the pressure of a given mass of enclosed air whose volume is kept constant while its temperature is changed. The air is enclosed in a glass bulb mounted on a frame. The frame is placed near a table so that the bulb may be surrounded by a water-bath, by shaved ice, or by a steam- bath, the table and an iron stand being made use of to support each bath in turn. A thermometer is placed in the bath to give its temperature. The pressure on the enclosed gas is regulated by raising or lowering the open tube. The value of this pressure may be determined from the barometer-reading and the difference in the levels of the mercury on the two sides of the frame. Each^time before taking the readings, the volume of the air in the bulb is made the same by bringing the mercury meniscus to the level of the wire point inside the glass tube attached to the bulb. Caution: The mercury oh the bulb side should always be lowered some distance before changing to a lower temperature. Be especially careful to do this before re- moving the steam-bath when you have taken a reading at the boiling point; otherwise, on cooling, the mercury will run into the bulb. Do not hurry in taking the readings after changing the temperature, but wait until the meniscus set at the wire-point remains stationary. (a) Without any bath in the reservoir, while all is at the room-temperature, bring the mercury to the wire point and determine the difference in level of the mercury columns. Record the room-temperature, and the barom- eter-reading. 38 CONSTANT VOLUME AIR THERMOMETER [38 (b) After having lowered the mercury on the bulb side, surround the bulb with shaved ice, and then deter- mine the pressure with the menicus at the wire point. The temperature may be taken as 0C. Melt the ice with warm water, and then make a series of determinations of the pressure when the water in the vessel is successively at a temperature of (approximately) 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, and 80C. Remove the water-bath, substitute a steam-bath in its place, and make another determination. The temperature of the steam-bath may be found by determining the boiling point of water from the known atmospheric pressure (see Tables). Arrange all observations in tabular form. (c) Plot on coordinate paper the results of (6), using temperatures as abscissae and the corresponding pressures as ordinates. Draw a smooth curve which will best repre- sent the average position of the points of the plot, and extend the curve until it intersects the line of zero pressure. Calculate from the curve the mean increase of pressure per degree increase in temperature from 0C. to 100C., and divide the result by the pressure at 0C., using values taken from the plot. This is the temperature coefficient (ft) of pressure of a gas. Write it as a decimal and find its reciprocal. The negative of this represents what point on the absolute scale of temperatures? (d) Write an equation connecting P Q , the pressure at 0; P t , the pressure at t\ t\ and ft. t Using this equation and the pressure obtained in (a), calculate the temperature of the room, thus using the 38-39] VAPOR PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE 39 apparatus as a thermometer. Compare the result with the room temperature as read from a mercury thermometer. Show from your results how the pressure of the gas varies with the absolute temperature, the volume remain- ing constant. 39. VAPOR-PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. References. Duff, p. 222; Kimball, p. 296. The object of this experiment is to study the relation be- tween the temperature and the pressure of saturated water- vapor. The method employed is that referred to in Exp. 37 as the "static" method of determining the boiling point of a liquid at different pressures. Two barometer tubes, filled with mercury, are inverted and mounted side by side in a vessel of mercury. One of the tubes contains, above the mercury, water-vapor with an excess of water present, while the other tube is left to be used as a barom- eter. By means of a water-bath surrounding the upper half of the tubes, the temperature of the water-vapor can be brought to any desired point. The bath is connected to a heater and the change in temperature is brought about by circulation. The pressure of the saturated water-vapor at any temperature will be the difference between the heights of the mercury columns on the two tubes. At each temperature the pressure of a saturated vapor of a given liquid has a definite value which depends on the temperature and the nature of the liquid, but is independ- ent of the volume of the vapor. When the temperature is raised, not only is the vapor heated and the pressure raised, but more liquid is vaporized, so there are two 40 VAPOR PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE [39 influences tending to increase the pressure of the vapor. The purpose of the present experiment is to plot the curve which shows how rapidly the vapor-pressure increases as the temperature is raised, in the case of water-vapor. (a) Read the heights of the mercury columns in the two tubes for ten different temperatures between room- temperature and 80C. Record the height of each column separately. To raise the temperature about 5 or 10 at a time, heat the boiler only for two or three minutes, then remove the burner, and stir the water- bath until a uniform temperature prevails. By this time the water-vapor inside the tube will have reached the temperature of the bath. In taking the temper- ature-readings hold the bulb of the thermometer slightly below the center of the space filled with water- vapor. Always wait until conditions have become steady before taking readings at a new temperature. (b) By replacing the hot water in the bath with cold water, a little at a time, take a second series of readings down to about room temperature. (c) Plot a curve from the results of (a) and (b), with the pressures of the saturated water-vapor as ordinates and the temperatures as abscissae. Draw the curve so that it will represent the average positions of all the plotted points. Determine from the curve the boiling point of water at a pressure of 30 cm. Does the pressure of saturated water-vapor increase with the temperature more or less rapidly than does the pressure of a gas kept at constant volume? Would the results be different if the volume of the saturated vapor were kept constant? 40] HYGROMETRY 41 40. HYGROMETRY. References. Duff, p. 279; Kimball, p. 304; Edser, p. 240. In this experiment the dew-point and the relative and absolute humidity of the air are to be determined. The absolute humidity, d, is the density of the water- vapor present in the air, and is usually expressed in grams per cubic meter. The relative humidity is the ratio of the amount of water-vapor actually present in the air to the amount required to saturate it at the same temperature, the latter quantity being the maximum amount of water- vapor that can be held in suspension at that temperature. The relative humidity is therefore equal to d/D, where D is the maximum density of the water-vapor at the given temperature. The dew-point is the temperature at which the amount of water actually present in the air would sat- urate it, that is, the temperature to which the air must be lowered before the condensation of water will begin. The pressure of water-vapor is the pressure which it would exert by itself if there were no air present in the space considered. By Dalton's law this is the pressure it actually does exert when mixed with air. If the unsaturated vapor -be assumed to behave like a perfect gas, the ratio of actual to saturated vapor density equals the ratio of actual to saturated vapor pressure. Since cooling vapor to the dew-point does not change its pressure, the saturated pressure at the dew-point equals the actual pressure at atmospheric temperature, and this may be read from the table without correction. In this way we justify the ordinary proceedure of determin- ing relative humidity as the ratio of the pressure p of the water-vapor in the air to the pressure P of saturated 42 HYGROMBTRY [40 water- vapor at that temperature; that is, relative humidity is equal to p/P. (I) Alluard's Hygrometer. (a) Partially fill the hygrometer with ether, and place a thermometer in the liquid. Cool the liquid by pumping air slowly through it. When the tube and the air immediately above it are cooled to the dew-point, moisture appears on the tube, this being detected more easily by comparison with the plate on either side. Note the temperature at which the dew begins to form. Allow the tube to become warm and record the temperature at which the dew disappears. Take the mean of these two as the dew-point. Make three such determinations of the dew-point. (6) From the Tables find the pressure of saturated water-vapor at the dew-point and also at the temperature of the room, and calculate the relative humidity. The absolute humidity may be found by multiplying the rela- tive humidity by D, the number of grams of saturated water-vapor in a cubic meter of air at the room-tem- perature (see the Tables). II. Wet- and Dry-bulb Hygrometer, or Augustus Psy- chrometer. (a) In the wet- and dry-bulb hygrometer, one bulb is cov- ered with wicking which dips into water, so that the bulb is cooled by evaporation. Swing the hygrometer back and forth in the air so as to increase the circulation of air about the wet bulb. After the two thermometers come to con- stant temperatures, record the temperature t of the dry 40] HYGROMKTRY 43 bulb, and the temperature ti of the wet bulb. Read the barometer. (b) The following empirical formula may then be used : p = ^-0.00086 (t-ti), where p is the pressure of water-vapor present in the atmosphere and the value of which is to be found; p\ the pressure of saturated vapor at the temperature of the wet-bulb (obtained from the Tables) ; and b is the baro- metric pressure, all being expressed in millimeters of mer- cury. Find the pressure P of saturated water-vapor at the room-temperature from the Tables, and calculate the relative humidity. Find then the absolute humidity as in (b). From the Tables and the readings of the wet- and dry-bulb hygrometer, find the dew-point. Compare the values obtained in I and II for the humid- ity and the dew-point. 44 RATIO OF THE TWO SPECIFIC HEATS [41 41. RATIO OF THE TWO SPECIFIC HEATS OF AIR. References. Duff, p. 283; Edser, p. 321. The object of this experiment is to obtain the value of the ratio y of the specific heat of air at constant pressure to its specific heat at constant volume. The method employed is a modification of that used first by Clement and Desormes. A quantity of the gas, compressed in a large flask, is momentarily put in com- munication with the atmosphere to allow its pressure to fall adiabatically to atmospheric pressure, its temperature simultaneously falling a little. The gas, when shut off again from the atmosphere, gradually warms up to its initial temperature, causing an appreciable rise in its pressure. Let pi be the pressure in the compressed gas at the start, Vi the volume of unit mass of the gas and ti its temperature (the same as that of the room). Let p , v t , and t z be the corresponding values of these quantities immediately after communication between the com- pressed gas and the atmosphere is established. Then p 2 , v 2 , and ti will be the values of these same quantities at the end, if p 2 is the final pressure. The gas has now been in three conditions, as follows: Condition Pressure Vol. of \gm. Temperature I. pi Vi ti II. po V, tt III. p t V* h The change from I to II was adiabatic, since no time was allowed for heat to pass in or out of the gas by conduction or radiation; hence, by the law for adiabatic changes in a perfect gas, (1) v^ pi = v^Y po, or = pi / po. 41] RATIO OF THE TWO SPECIFIC HEATS 45 The change, from I to III was isothermal; hence, by Boyle's law, ( v 2 } 7 ( p l ) 7 (2) Vi P i=v>p 2 ,or j^J - j-j Hence (pi / p^ = (pi / p ) ; or, taking the logarithm and solving for 7 log pi - log pz The desired ratio may be obtained, experimentally, therefore, by observing the values of the three pressures. The apparatus consists of a large carboy with the open- ing ground flat, and covered with a piece of ground glass. The enclosed space may at pleasure be opened to, or shut off from, the atmosphere. The pressure of the enclosed air is measured by an oil manometer, whilst air can be forced into or withdrawn through another inlet. To thoroughly dry the enclosed air, some strong sulphuric acid is poured into the bottom of the carboy. (a) Close the carboy, and with a bicycle pump intro- duce enough air in the carboy to give a reasonably large difference of pressure, as indicated by the manometer. Shut off connection between the carboy and the pump, and wait a few minutes until the temperature of the en- closed air is the same as that of the room, which will be when the manometer shows a steady, constant pressure. Read the manometer and the barometer. To get the value of the pressure-difference recorded by the manom- eter, it will be necessary to know the density of the oil used. This is posted on the apparatus. (b) Open the carboy for a second, by removing the glass plate, then close again. Wait some time until the 46 THE HEAT OF FUSION OF TIN [41-42 temperature of the enclosed air has risen again to that of the room, as indicated by a steady, constant difference in pressure; then read the manometer. (c) Repeat (a) and (b) twice. (d) Using the data in (a) and (6), determine from equation (3) the value of y for air, and take the mean of the results. Obtain from the Tables the value of 7 and compare with the result just found by experiment. Explain why the specific heat of a gas at constant pressure should be greater than its specific heat at con- stant volume. 42. THE HEAT OF FUSION OF TIN. The object of this exercise is the determination of the heat of fusion of tin from the average of the rate of cooling just before and just after solidification. The heat of fusion of any substance is defined as the number of calories required to convert one gram of the solid at the melting point into liquid at the same tem- perature. A single nickel-iron thermocouple is connected with a sensitive galvanometer to determine the temperature, the galvanometer deflections being converted into tem- peratures by means of a calibration curve based upon the deflection of the galvanometer for four standard temper- atures: the melting point of zinc 419C., the melting point of tin 232C., the boiling point of water 100C., and 0C. 42] THE HEAT OF FUSION OF TIN 47 (a) Connect the thermocouple in series with the gal- vanometer. Put one of the junctures in a beaker of shaved ice and the other in a small graphite crucible containing a small quantity of pure zinc. After the zinc has been melted allow it to cool off by radiation. Arrange a suitable shunt for the galvanometer, or insert sufficient resistance in series so that when the deflection becomes constant, as it will during the time of solidification of the zinc, this scale deflection is as large as can conven- iently be obtained on the galvanometer scale. After this adjustment, the resistance of the circuit should remain unchanged throughout the rest of the exercise. (6) Determine the mass of the tin from the weight of the crucible and the tin, and the given value for the weight of the crucible. Lift the juncture from the zinc, taking care to remove whatever particles of zinc cling to it. Place this juncture in a small crucible containing at least 100 grams of pure tin, heating it up until the gal- vanometer deflection is about as large as that obtained with the zinc. Put out the burner and allow the crucible to cool by radiation when placed in a holder with a three- point asbestos contact, reading the scale deflection every 30 seconds. Take five or six readings after the time of constant deflection, which indicated the temperature of solidification of the tin. (c) Lift the juncture from the tin, place it in a small beaker of boiling water and note the deflection. Take a final reading with both junctures placed in shaved ice. (d) Make a plot showing the relation between tem- perature and the galvanometer deflections, using the constant deflections obtained in (a), (6), and (c), which 48 THE HEAT OF FUSION OF TIN [42 correspond to the temperatures 419, 232, 100, re- spectively. Draw a smooth curve through these points. With the aid of the above plot find the temperatures corresponding to each scale deflection contained in (b). Make a plot with temperatures as ordinates and times as abscissae, using the data in (b) for the cooling of the tin. From the curve find the rate of cooling in seconds per degree from the plot, using a line drawn tangent to the curve just before solidification, and a second value from a line tangent to the curve just after solidification. From the heat capacity of the crucible and the fluid tin, find the rate of cooling in calories per second just before solidification. And using the heat capacity of the crucible and that of solid tin, find a similar value for the rate of cooling just after solidification. From the average rate of cooling and the time as taken from the plot, find the total number of calories given out during solidification, and calculate the heat of fusion of the tin. Specific heat of graphite is 0.200, of porcelain 0.225, of fireclay 0.152, of quartz 0.200, of fluid tin 0.0637, of solid tin 0.0588, calories per gram respectively.

The logarithm of a product of two or more numbers is the sum of the logarithms of its factors; for example, log. (.0821 X 463.2) = (0.9143 - 2.) + (0.6658 + 2.) = 0.5801 + 1. The logarithm of a quotient is the difference between the logar- ithms of the dividend and divisor; for example, log. (.5321 -f- 916) = (0.7260 - 1 .) - (0.9619 + 2.) = 0.7641 - 4. The logarithm of a power or root of a number is the exponent times the logarithm of the number; for example, log V^63) 3 =3/2 X (0.9360 1.) = 0.9040 - 1. To find the number from its logarithm: Locate in the table the mantissa next less than the given mantissa, then join the figure standing above it at the top of the table to the two figures at the extreme left on the same line as the mantissa, and finally to these three join the figure at the top of the interpolation column which contains the difference between the two mantissae. In the four- figure number thus found, so place the decimal point that the number shall be the product of some number, that lies between 1 and 10, by a power of 10 whose exponent is the characteristic of the logarithm. For example, antilog (0.6440 + 3) = 4405; antilog (0.3069 - 2) = .02027. Caution. In adding and subtracting logarithms it is well to remember that the mantissa is always essentially positive and may or may not therefore, have the same sign as its characteristic.

A magnetic field of force always exists in the medium surrounding a conduc- tor carrying a current of electricity, and if a conductor be moved across a magnetic field an electromotive force is always induced in the conductor. Whether a magnetic field be due to the magnetism of the earth, to a system of magnets, or to electric currents in conductors, the field at any point is completely determined when the direction and intensity of the force at the point are known. 1. The direction of the magnetic force is arbitrarily de- fined as the direction in which an isolated north-seeking magnet pole would be urged by the magnetic force if placed in a magnetic field. Imaginary lines showing at all points the direction in which the magnetic force acts are called lines of force. Magnetic lines of force are closed curves, i. e., they have no free ends. 2. The strength or intensity of the magnetic force at any point in a magnetic field is numerically equal to the force in dynes which would be exerted by the field upon a unit magnetic pole placed at that point, a unit magnetic pole being defined as a magnetic pole of such strength that when placed in air at a distance of one centimeter from a similar pole it will repel it with a force of one dyne. Dimensionally the intensity of the magnetic field is force divided by pole strength. The unit of magnetic field intensity is called the gauss. The intensity of the earth's magnetic field is usually represented by the letter H, field intensity in general will be designated by H. This might be expressed by saying 8 MAGNETISM that the magnetic force would produce H lines per square centimeter in air. 3. If a piece of iron or other magnetizable substance be placed in the magnetic field some of the magnetic lines pass through the substance and magnetize it; in fact, more lines pass through iron than through the air which it displaces. The actual number of magnetic lines that run through unit area of cross-section in the iron or other material is denoted by the letter B and is a measure of the magnetization. The ratio of B to H is called the permeability, /x. 4. The poles of a magnet are sometimes thought of as points, usually near the ends of a magnet, at which the magnetic charge may be regarded as concentrated. In any given magnet, however, the magnetization is not concentrated in two points, but is distributed over the magnet. A more extended conception of a magnetic pole may be obtained by considering a magnet placed in a uniform magnetic field. Then the forces acting on the elementary positive magnetic charges will be a system of parallel forces all acting in the same direction. By com- position of forces these parallel forces may be replaced by a single force acting at a point TV which is the center for this system of parallel forces. This point, N, is the posi- tive or north-seeking pole of the magnet. In the same way the forces acting on the elementary negative charges may be replaced by a single resultant force acting at 5, the negative pole of the magnet. If in the above case the strength of the uniform field is of unit intensity then the magnitude of the force acting at N or 5 is equal numerically to the pole strength of the magnet. 51] MAPPING MAGNETIC LINES OF FORCE 9 If the field is not uniform the resultant of all the forces acting will not pass through the points N or S, so that as far as the magnet is concerned its poles are a convenient but highly idealized conception. 5. The magnetic moment of a magnet, however, is an important quantity with a perfectly definite physical meaning. It is found that the tendency of a magnet to turn or to be turned by another magnet depends not only upon the strength of its poles, m, but also upon their distance apart, 21. The product of these two quantities mx2l is called the magnetic moment, M, of the magnet. If the magnet be placed in a field of intensity, H, and the turning moment (G) be found, when the axis of the magnet is at right angles to the lines of force, then M H = G. 6. In handling magnets care must be taken not to bring the magnets into strong magnetic fields, or to jar them. Rough treatment may change the strength of the magnet and this change in the middle of an exercise will necessitate the repetition of all previous measurements involving the magnetic moment of the magnet. Always protect the jewel of the compass needle, never move nor leave the compass without first releasing the needle from the pivot. 51. PLOTTING OF MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC FIELDS. Equipotential Lines. A. Magnetic Field. The object of this part of the exercise is to plot the magnetic field due to the combination of the fields of two magnets with the earth's magnetic field. (a) Fasten two Robison spherical-ended magnets with their axes vertical to the underside of the laboratory 10 PLOTTING AN ELECTRIC FIELD [51 table. The magnets should be about 20 centimeters apart and the line through them should coincide with the magnetic meridian. Upon the top of the table, over the magnets, fasten a large sheet of paper. To trace a force line, place the compass needle, which should not be over 2 cm. long, on the paper and make a dot on the paper under each end of the needle. Now move the needle until the S-pole is over the dot just made under the N-pole, and make a dot under the new position of the N-pole. Continue this process until you reach a place where the compass suddenly reverses its direction, or the line runs off the paper; and then, working in the opposite direction from the starting point, proceed until a second such point is found. In this way plot four or five lines symmetrically located, enough to show clearly the complete outline of the field. Plot with especial care the ends of the lines near the singular points, i. e., points in which the needle will assume no definite direction. (6) Using red ink draw a second series of lines which are everywhere approximately perpendicular to the first set. These then are the lines of equipotential. B, Electric Field. The object of this part of the exercise is to plot the equipo- tential lines in an electric field and to draw the electric force lines. (c) Fill the glass bottomed tray to a depth of three or four millimeters with a solution of ammonium chloride. Connect one cell of storage battery to the primary of the small induction coil and then connect the secondary terminals of the coil with two electrodes A and B which 51] PLOTTING AN ELECTRIC FIELD 11 have their pointed ends turned downward so as to dip into the solution. These electrodes should be about 20 centimeters apart. When the coil is in operation the points A and B will be maintained at different potentials, and although this is a constantly varying potential difference the equipoten- tial lines will preserve the same configuration, although, of course, assuming different absolute values. This fact enables us to use a telephone receiver in exploring the equipotential lines. For if both of its terminals lie on the same equipotential surface, no current will pass through the receiver. If, however, the two terminals lie on sur- faces of different potentials, a charge is urged through the receiver from the point of high potential to that of low potential and the receiver responds by buzzing. Connect the telephone receiver to one fixed electrode and one exploring electrode furnished with a handle. Place the fixed electrode about three centimeters from the electrode A on the line A B and with the exploring electrode find enough points for which there is no buzzing in the receiver so that the equipotential line through the position of the fixed electrode can be plotted. Move the fixed electrode about three centimeters toward B and locate a second equipotential line, and continue in this way until four or five lines covering the entire field have been explored. (d) Plot on co-ordinate paper to one half scale the lines so found. The lines of force will form a system everywhere at right angles to these equipotential lines. Draw this system in red ink. 12 LAWS OF MAGNETIC FORCE [52 52. LAWS OF MAGNETIC FORGE. In every real magnet there is always an equal quantity of both kinds of magnetism. It is impossible to isolate a region of positive magnetism ; if the magnet be broken each piece is found still possessed of equal quantities of both kinds of magnetism. If we have a bar magnet the free magnetism is strongest in a region near the end. In short, thick magnets this region is comparatively large; as the length increases and the diameter decreases the free magnetism is found nearer the end. In a very long thin filament the free magnetism will be at the end. The object of this experiment is to study the variation in field intensity with distance in the magnetic field near one end of a long magnet and in a plane perpendicular to its axis. The magnet is a piece of steel ribbon about 150 centi- meters long. To avoid the formation of consequent poles it should be magnetized by placing it inside a long coil of wire carrying a heavy current, the magnetic circuit being completed outside the coil, from one end of the magnet to the other, by means of pieces of soft iron. The compass needle is a magnetized steel disk, 20 mil- limeters in diameter, with a long aluminum pointer set at right angles to the magnetic axis of the disk. The magnet should be mounted with its axis vertical and one end on a level with the compass needle. (a) With the magnet removed to a considerable dis- tance the compass should first be set so that the pointer reads zero and then leveled so that the pointer clears the scale. 52] LAWS OF MAGNETIC FORCE 13 Place he magnet on the east-and-west line, west of the compassjlneedle, and read the deflections produced for the series of distances 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, 30, centimeters between the compass needle and the magnet. Readings should be taken from both ends of the pointer. (b) Repeat the readings for the same distances to the east of the compass needle. (c) Show that if the compass needle is deflected by a horizontal force acting in an east-and-west direction, the magnitude of the force is proportional to the tangent of the angle of deflection. State the law for the mutual action of magnet poles. If the magnetic force varies as some power, n, of the distance the product d n tan a should be a constant. That is, d 22 n tan a 22 = k = d 2s n tan a 28 etc. From which we get d 28 n / d 22 a = tan a 22 / tan a 2S , and n = (log tan a^ - log tan a 2s) I (log d 2s - log dv). Average the readings for each distance. By pairing each of the first three values of d n tan a with each of the last three in turn, calculate nine values for n and take their average. Find the average difference in percent between these values and your result. What error is eliminated by reading both ends of the pointer? by taking readings both east and west of the needle? X (d) Two assumptions have been made whose effect should be considered. The force due to one pole has been neglected when considering that of the other. Calculate the force discarded, assuming the inverse square law, (n = 2) and express it in per cent of the force used, for 14 RELATIVE DETERMINATION OF H [52-53 the largest and smallest values of the distance, d. Second- ly, the force lines from the magnet pole to compass needle have been assumed parallel. Calculate the error this produces, in per cent of the force used, for the same distances, the distance between the poles of the needle being taken as 18 millimeters and its direction being assumed perpendicular to the east-and-west line. 53. RELATIVE DETERMINATION OF H. A. Method of Oscillations. If a magnet vibrating as a torsion pendulum, at a point where the horizontal intensity has the value Hi, has a period Ti, and at a second point the period is found to be T 2 , then the horizontal intensity, H 2 , at the second point is given by the relation Hi : H 2 = TV : TV. (a) Determine the value of H, using the method of oscillations. The amplitude of the vibration should be small and care taken to prevent the magnet from swinging. B. Using a Tangent Galvanometer, an Ammeter and an adjustable Resistance.* Set up the tangent galvanometer at the point where the value of H is to be found and connect in series with it an ammeter, a single storage or Daniell cell, and an ad- justable resistance. The ammeter should be placed at some distance from the galvanometer. Adjust the resistance until the galvanometer reads the angle whose tangent is equal to one tenth of the galvanometer constant, the ammeter reading will then give H directly. *See R, B. Abbott, School Science and Mathematics, Vol. XII, page 533, 1913. 53-54] ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION OF H 15 10 TJ Since in general I = - tan a, where n is the number of 2-rrn/r turns and r the mean radius of the coils (see Theory of Tangent Galvanometer, p. 24). If then, we so adjust the current that tan a = - X - it follows by substitution 10 r I = - -X--X lirn/r = H, or I = H numerically. lirn/r 10 54. ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION OF H. The following absolute determination of the horizontal intensity of H of the earth's magnetic field at any point requires the measurement of the values of the quotient M/ H and the product M H, where M is the moment of the magnet. If a magnet be placed with its axis at right angles to the meridian, from the observed deflection of a com- pass needle or magnetometer placed on the axis of the magnet the quotient M / H may be calculated. If this same magnet be put in a bifilar suspension with the plane of the wires at right angles to the meridian, from the deflection produced by the earth's field in turn- ing the magnet toward the magnetic meridian the prod- uct M H may be found. From these two quantities either H or M may be found. Either method may be used alone to compare the moments of two magnets. The magnet used must be kept away from other mag- nets or magnetic bodies and be carefully handled until both experiments have been completed so as not to change the amount or distribution of the magnetism. A. Finding M/H by Deflection in End-on Position. (a) As deflecting magnet, one of the Robison type will be used since these have practically true poles, located at 16 ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION OF H [54 the centers of the spherical ends. Measure the distance, 21, between the centers of the spheres. (b) Place a magnetometer at the point at which H is to be measured and place the magnet with its axis on the east-and-west line, east or west of the compass at a dis- tance which is relatively large compared with length of the magnet in the magnetometer. Measure the distance from the center of the magnetometer to the nearest end of the magnet, and read the deflection of the magneto- meter using a telescope and scale placed one meter away. Reverse the magnet and again note the deflection. Repeat the measurements with the magnet on the other side of the magnetometer and the same distance away. With the aid of the data taken in (a) find L, the mean distance from the center of the magnetometer to the point midway between the poles of the magnet. (c) Assuming the inverse square law derive an ex- pression for the strength of field due to a magnet at any point, s, on its axis. Call the distance between the poles of the magnet 21, its pole strength m, and L the distance from the point s to a point midway between the poles. Show that, if this force acting in an east-and-west direction deflects a compass needle, the magnitude of the force is proportional to the tangent of the angle of deflection, a, and if the length of the compass needle be negligible in comparison to the distance L show that M (L 2 -/ 2 ) 2 -H' ~^L tana where 2 / m = M = the moment of the magnet. Using this relation and the above data calculate the numerical value of M / H. 54] ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION OF H 17 B. Finding M H by the bifilar method. (a) Suspend the carriage for the magnet by two lengths of fine braided fish-line, adjustable from above so that they are in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. The vane extending from the carriage should be placed in a vessel of water to "damp" the vibrations. To find the zero position place a brass rod of about the same size as the magnet in the carriage and adjust the telescope and scale, placed about a meter from the car- riage, until the zero of the scale seen in the telescope after reflection in the mirror coincides with the cross-hairs. Measure the distance from the mirror to the scale. Remove the brass rod, place the magnet in the carriage, and read the deflection. It is not necessary to wait until the system comes to rest before taking a reading. Where the oscillations are small determine the resting point by reading the turning points as in weighing. Reverse the magnet and again read the deflection. Make several read- ings, reversing the magnet each time, and take the mean. (b) Weigh the magnet and carriage on the trip scales to one decigram. Measure the distance d between the two wires of the bifilar suspension and also the length of the wires from the point of suspension to the top of the car- riage. (c) Since the angle of deflection a is small, A A' is approximately perpendicular to AB and may be ex- pressed in terms of quantities measured in (a) A A' = AO sin a. = (d/2) sin a. Assume that the weight of the magnet and carriage (mg dynes) is equally divided between the two wires of 18 ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION OF H [54 the suspension. In the force parallelogram, figure (c), we see that the nearly horizontal restoring force F which D Fig 1. Illustrates Experiment 54. (c.) acts along the line A A' is the resultant of the upward tension of the string T and half the weight of the magnet and carriage mg/2. An equal force acts along BB'. The restoring couple is thus = d*mg sin a 4CA Show with the aid of a diagram that the moment of the magnetic deflecting couple is = H m 21 cos a = H M cos a. Calculate the numerical value of the product M H. Combine the results for M/ H and MH and find the value of H. 55] MAGNETIC INDUCTION 19 55. MAGNETIC INDUCTION. B and H Curve. The magnetic field intensity at the center of a long solenoid is, for air, (1) H = 4 TT n I/Wl where n is the number of turns, I is the current in amperes, and / is the length of the solenoid in centimeters. The total number of lines of force threading the solenoid is H A, where A is the mean area of its cross section, to be found by taking the average of the cross-sections of each separate layer. A secondary winding placed around the solenoid will have the same number of lines threading it as pass through the solenoid. A ballistic galvanometer connected to the secondary winding may be calibrated to indicate the change in the number of lines of force which thread the coil, by the amount of its deflection when a current / is suddenly sent through the primary winding. Calibration of a Ballistic Galvanometer. (a) The solenoid is mounted on a base provided with a commutator, a key K, and four knife switches, num- bered 1, 2, 3 and 4 for changing the resistance in the cir- cuit. Connect the primary of the solenoid in series with six volts of storage battery. The secondary winding should be connected to the galvanometer. After the connections have been made, with the switches 1, 2, 3 and 4 open note the deflection of the galvanometer when the circuit is closed with the key K. Read the amme- 20 MAGNETIC INDUCTION [55 ter. After the galvanometer has returned to zero, again note the deflection when the circuit is broken. Now close switch number 1 and note the deflection when the circuit is closed. Repeat the ammeter reading and take a second reading of the deflection when the circuit is suddenly opened as before. Then close switch number 2, leaving number 1 closed, and repeat the scale and ammeter readings. Continuing in this way secure scale readings for five different values of the current. (6) Measure the inside and outside diameter of the primary winding of the solenoid with the calipers. Note the number of turns n, the number of layers, and measure the length /. (c) Using your data and formula (1) compute H for each value of the current. Plot a curve using the values of the galvanometer deflections as abscissae and the cor- responding changes in the number of lines of force (values of HA) as ordinates. B and H Curves. If a rod of some magnetic substance longer than the solenoid be placed within the coil, the magnetic field intensity B within the rod is B = JJL H where JJL is the permeability of the substance. The total number of lines threading the coil is (2) Ba + H (A - a) = where a is the cross sectional area of the rod. The value of A$ and 0, ($ = S A <), can be found from the plot previously made and the scale deflections ob- served with the magnetic substance in the solenoid. 55] MAGNETIZATION OF IRON 21 H may be calculated from equation (1) as before and thus B may be calculated from equation (2). To get a series of values of B and H and at the same time not allow them to be reduced to zero values at each step it will be necessary to proceed by increments; i. e. to measure the deflections produced by successive changes in current. In this case the value of is to be found by summing up the separate increments, A 0, due to successive changes in current. The following table, containing partial data and cal- culations, indicates a convenient form of tabulating the results. Reading Deflection C hange in flux Total flux I I 7? Number (cms.)

Demagnetize it by slowly withdrawing it from a solenoid operated by an alternating current, and place it in the solenoid.

Next, leav- ing K closed, close the switch number 1, noting the deflec- 22 MAGNETIZATION OF IRON [55 tion as before. Read the ammeter. Then by closing the switches in the order, K, 1, 2, 3, 4, and opening them in the reverse order, 4, 3, 2, 1, K, reversing the current with the commutator and continuing the cycle take a series of readings of the deflections of the galvan- ometer and corresponding changes of the current such that the values of H pass from zero to a positive maxi- mum back to zero then to a negative maximum and back to zero then again to a positive maximum. Never open any switches just closed, nor close any just opened, in order to repeat a reading. If repetition is necessary repeat the entire cycle, including the demagnetization. (b) From the calibration curve and from equation (2) tabulate and plot the values of B and H for the specimen furnished. Tabulate and plot the values of JJL and H. Values of H are to be the abscissae in all the curves. ELECTRICITY General Directions. In setting up any electric circuit see that all connections are clean and well made. Never make connections by twisting ends of wire together, as the resistance of such a connection is variable. Always use the binding screws. Make a practice of arranging wires so that currents op- posite directions are as near together as possible in order to minimize the magnetic effect. When using galvanometers with pivot suspension never move or leave them without first releasing the needle from the pivot. In using resistance boxes, take care to protect the plugs and the tapered holes into which they fit, from bruises and dirt. The brass tapers of the plugs should on no account be touched with the fingers or held in the palm of the hand; but should be at once put into the idle sockets, or, if these are wanting, the plugs may be stood on end or laid on any clean surface. THEORY OF THE TANGENT GALVANOMETER. 1. A unit magnet pole is defined as one which, when placed in air at a distance of one centimeter from a pole of equal strength, will exert upon it a force of one dyne. 2. A unit current is defined (in electro-magnetic units) as one which, flowing in a conductor one centimeter long, bent into an arc of one centimeter radius, will act on a unit magnet pole at the center of the arc with a force of one dyne. 24 TEST OF THE TANGENT LAW [61 3. We shall speak of the field at the center of the coil, due to current flowing in it, as the force in dynes exerted by the current on a unit magnet pole at the center of the coil : let this be denoted by F. 4. For a unit current, flowing in a circular coil of 1 turn, radius 1 centimeter, F= 27r; for n turns, F= 2-jrn. If the radius of the coil be r, F = 27rn/r; since the field due to a given length of wire varies as 1/r 2 , but the length of wire in the coil is r times as great. This value of F, namely the field produced at the center of the coil by a unit current flowing in the coil, is called the constant, G, of the galvanometer. 5. Let H denote the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at the center of the coil. Then if the coil be set with its plane vertical and in the magnetic meridian, the two fields of force denoted by F and H will act at right angles to each other, upon each pole of the needle. Assuming the needle to be so short that the field at each pole is the same as at the center of the coil, if the current I cause the needle to deflect through an angle a from its zero position, it may be shown that in general tan a = F/H =IG/H. From this I = (H / G) tan a. 6. I is here expressed in c. g. s. units. The commercial unit, the ampere, is 0.1 of the c. g. s. unit. Hence if I be expressed in amperes I = (10 H / G ) tan a. 10 H I G is called the reduction factor, K, of the gal- vanometer. I = K tana. 61. TEST OF THE TANGENT LAW. The tangent galvanometer used by each student is to be set with its needle directly over a particular numbered brass nail in the table-top. Record the number of the galvanometer and the number of the spot assigned. Always refer to the galvanometer by number. 61] TEST OF THE TANGENT LAW 25 (a) Set the galvanometer with its plane in the magnetic meridian. With the instrument used this is done by bring- ing the ends of the pointer to and 180. Connect a portable storage cell in series with the gal- vanometer and a resistance box, and insert a commutator in the circuit for reversing the direction of the current in the galvanometer. On the galvanometer switch-board make contact with the 50-turn coil, by turning in the screw marked 50, the other screws being out about one turn; the current then flows through a coil of 50 turns. Take out plugs from the resistance box until the deflec- tion is about 50. Determine the deflection by reading both ends of the pointer to 0.1, then reversing the cur- rent to get a deflection in the opposite direction and reading both ends again. The mean of the four readings is the deflection required. Increase the resistance in the box so as to obtain deflections at intervals of 5 to 6 down to about 10. In what follows, the electromotive force and resistance of the cell are supposed to remain constant throughout the experiment. To test this, repeat the first reading. If it does not agree with the former value, repeat the series in the same order as before to a point where the new values do agree with the old. (6) Show the truth of the relation expressed on the preceding page, tan a = F/ H. By combining this with Ohm's law, E = IR where R is the total resistance in the circuit, show that E/ K = R tan a = R/ cotan a If then a plot be made with resistances as abscissae and cotangents of corresponding angles of deflection as ordin- 5 26 REDUCTION FACTOR OF GALVANOMETER [61-62 ates, the points obtained should lie on a straight line if the galvanometer obeys the tangent law. (c) Make such a plot from your observations, using box resistances as abscissae, and show how to obtain from it the constant resistance in the circuit outside the box. Do this first by reading it directly from the plot, and then more accurately, by constructing the equation of the line and calculating from it. What does this resistance include? 62. REDUCTION FACTOR OF GALVANOMETER. By Deposition of Copper. (a) Set up the galvanometer in the same place as before. Record the number of the galvanometer and the number of the spot assigned. Straighten out two of the copper wire spirals from the voltameter cells, clean and smooth them well with fine sand paper, and rewind on a brass tube provided for the purpose. Do not touch the wire with the fingers except at the ends, after cleaning; catch one end through the small hole in the brass tube, and, having the other end secured, stretch the wire while winding, so as to get a smooth spiral. If the surface of the wire flakes off in cleaning, ask for new wire. Clean the copper plates of the voltameters, replace them and the spirals, and fill the cell with fresh electrolyte solution. Connect the two voltameters in series with a portable storage cell and the 5-turn coil of the galvanometer, in such a way that copper will be deposited by the current on the spirals. Insert an adjustable rheostat or a piece of German silver wire in the circuit if necessary to reduce the deflection to about 25. A current-reversing switch should also be placed in the circuit, so that reversing the 62] REDUCTION FACTOR OF GALVANOMETER 27 direction of the current through the galvanometer will leave unchanged the direction of the current in the voltameters. * (b) After the circuit has been closed for several minutes lift the spirals out of the solution and see if they are uni- formly covered with a bright and clean deposit. If so plunge them at once into a beaker of clean water, then wash thoroughly under the tap and dry by gentle heat, no greater than may be easily borne by the hand. Weigh the spirals separately to 1 mg. on a delicate balance. Replace the spirals in the voltameters, put them in circuit as before and let the current run for a measured time interval not less than twenty minutes. Keep the deflection constant by adjusting the resistance in the circuit, reversing the direction of the current through the galvanometer at about the middle of this period. Repeat the washing, drying and weighing. The gain in weight should be the same for the two spirals. If it is nearly the same, take the mean. (c) The international ampere, the unit of current, is represented sufficiently well for practical use by the un- varying current which, when passed through a solution of copper sulphate will deposit under conditions similar to those used in this exercise, 0.000328 grams of copper per second. Using this fact, calculate the reduction factor for the coil used. To calculate the Constants of the 1-Turn, 5-Turn and 5Q-Turn Coils, From Their Measured Dimensions. (d) Measure with a beam-compass or outside calipers, the diameter of the ledge on the face of the ring, which is *If available a direct current ammeter may be placed in series in this circuit and its calibration tested by comparison of its read- ing with the weight of copper deposited. 28 GALVANOMETER CONSTANT? [62 the same as the diameter of the bottom of the groove, or the inner diameter of the coil. Also measure the outer - diameter of the wire coil. In each case take several measurements along different diameters. The first layer, in the bottom of the groove, consists of six turns of No. 14 wire, so connected that the current flows through all six in parallel, thus making one effective turn. This is the 1-turn coil. The next layer, of No. 16 wire, consists of two wires in parallel wound four times around, thus making four turns. These eight wires just fill the width of the groove, as do the six wires of the first layer. The four turns and the one may be connected in series, making the 5-turn coil. Outside of this are ^45 turns of No. 22 wire, wound in three layers of 15 turns each, which may be connected in series with the five turns, to make the 50-turn coil. Samples of Nos. 14, 16 and 22 wire are furnished. From the measured diameters of these (insulated), and the inner and outer diameters of the whole coil, find the mean diameter of each layer of wire. Calculate the constants 2w n / r for the 1-, 4-, and each of the -three layers of 15-turns. Giving n and r their appropriate value in each case. From the definitions of the constant it is evident that the constant for two coils in series is the sum of the two constants taken separately. Find thus the required con- stants for the 5-turn, and 50-turn coils. Also calculate the reduction factors of the 1-turn and the 50-turn coils. (e) From your data in this experiment find the value of H at the point where the needle of the galvanometer is located. 63] MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE 29 63. MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE. Wheatstone Bridge. The object of this exercise is to calibrate a resistance box, using a slide-wire Wheatstone bridge and a standard resis- tance box ; and to test the laws for resistances connected in series and in parallel. (a) Connect a I/eclanche cell to the bridge-wire with a key, k, in the circuit, so that the wire forms the arms, p and q, of the bridge. To eliminate the effect of induction and capacity in any parts of the 'apparatus or the un- known resistance the key, k, in the battery branch should be closed before the key, K, ^XTV^ (usually a sliding contact) is pressed and should be kept closed until K is opened. To avoid polarization, the battery circuit should be closed only while taking an observation. . 2.-The Wheatstone Bridge. Af ter finding the resistance of the coils separately, deter- mine the resistance of all of them in series as a check. Interchange the known and unknown resistances, leaving the connections as they were, and repeat the observations. The average of the two determinations of the length p and the length q (q being always the length opposite the unknown resistance x) will eliminate, in part, errors due to inequalities of the bridge wire, and the resistance of the connecting wires. (6) Determine the value of the unknown resistance furnished. (Doorbell, sounder, relay, or incandescent lamp.) Make a determination of the resistance of two resistances connected in parallel, and compare your result with the calculated value. 30 COMPARISON OF RESISTANCE 164 64. COMPARISON OF RESISTANCE Carey Foster's Method. The following extremely accurate method of comparing two nearly equal resistances was devised by Foster. The two branches p and q of the Wheatstone bridge are extended by means of resistances A and B, using connecting wires of resistance a and b respectively. The resistances r and x should be of about the same magnitude as A or B, but their actual value need not be known. Then for balance ^_ (A+a+pk) x "" (B+b+qk). where k is the resistance per centimeter of the wire. If A and B are interchanged together with their connecting Fig. 3. Carey Foster's Method. . . wires, and a new posi- tion of balance found, then, r/x = (B+b+p f k)/(A+a+q f k). Adding unity to each member of the equation gives: r+x A+a+pk + B+b+qk B+b+p'k+A+a+q'k x B+b+qk A + a + q'k Remembering that p+q = p'+q', we see that k(q - q') = (A + a) - (B + b) = A -B+ (a-b). Or in words the resistance of the part of the bridge wire whose length is q - q' is equal to the difference between the resistances with which the bridge was extended, plus the difference in the resistances of the connecting wires. If we determine two corresponding positions of balance #o and q' , with no resistances in the extended arms 64] ADDITIONAL EXERCISES 31 except that of the connecting wires later to be used, k(q q'o) = ab, and by substitution we have finally, k[q-q' ~ fao-g'o)] = A-B. This is the principle of Carey Foster's method of calibrating a bridge wire, and with a calibrated wire is the most accurate method available for the calibration of resistances by comparison with standards. The apparatus is provided with a double-throw com- mutator for interchanging A and B together with their connecting wires. (a) To determine the resistance of the bridge wire by the above method connect a standard box at A and a box which is later to be calibrated at .5, using heavy connecting wires of the same length. Before inserting any resistance from either box in the circuit (by removing plugs or ro- tating the dial) take readings both direct and reversed; the difference in the two settings gives a length of wire having a resistance equal to the difference in resistance of the connections as they now stand. This length should be added, algebraically, to the following readings with A. Make A = 0.1 ohm, leaving B unchanged. Find a rest point for both the direct and reversed positions. Increase the value of A by 0.1 ohm steps within the range per- mitted by the resistance of the bridge-wire. (b) Compare in this way the coils in the box B with similar coils in the standard box A. ADDITIONAL EXERCISES WITH THE CAREY FOSTER BRIDGE. 1. Determine the specific resistance of some pure metal. After checking the calibration of the bridge-wire in (a) above, calculate the specific resistance of a sample of wire of measured dimensions from the readings taken with 32 ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION OF RESISTANCE [64-65 two heavy copper staples at A and B, and the readings with a measured length of the sample inserted in series with the staple A. 2. Determine the temperature coefficient of resistance of some pure metal. The metal is furnished in the form of a coil of wire. Connect the coil as resistance A in the bridge and balance its resistance at 0C., by suitable resistance from a resis- tance box as B. Measure the resistance at 100C., or some measured higher temperature and from your observations compute the value of the temperature coefficient of resistance of the metal. 65. ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION OF RESISTANCE. Calorimeter Method. Resistance may be denned as that property of a con- ductor by virtue of which energy is expended when elec- tricity is transferred from one point to another along the conductor. If therefore the amount of energy ex- pended can be measured, the resistance may be deter- mined. Electrical energy may be transformed into energy of motion, chemical separation, or heat. If the conditions be so chosen that the first two transformations cannot occur then the energy will all be transformed into heat and can readily be measured. A unit quantity of electricity may be defined as the quan- tity of electricity passing a given point in a conductor in one second when the current in the conductor is one unit. Where I denotes the current (assumed to be con- stant) in a conductor, Q, the quantity passing any given point, and T the time, then we have the equation, Q = I T. 65] ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION OE RESISTANCE 3S The difference of potential between two points on a conductor is defined as the energy which would be ex^ pended in transferring a unit quantity of electricity from one point to the other. Therefore W = Q (Vi - V,), where W is the energy expended and Vi - V* is the, dif- ference in potential. If / is measured in amperes, and Vi, F 2 in volts, then W is measured in a unit called the joule. (1 joule = 10 7 ergs). We have then W = (Vi - V*) I T x 10 7 ergs . From Ohm's law I R = Vi - V 2 , R being the resistance of the conductor between the points whose difference in potentials is Vi - V 2 . .'. W = I 2 R T x 10 7 ergs. Since this energy is all expended in heating the con- ductor, W = H J where H is the amount of heat pro- duced in calories and / is the mechanical equivalent of heat - /. H J = I* RT x 10 7 . Inserting the value of /, (J = 4.19 x 10 7 ), and solving for R * 4.19 H (a) To determine the water equivalent of the thermos bottle (which is to be used as a calorimeter), first weigh it with thermometer and heating coil inserted. Then add about 25 gms. of hot water, replacing the coil and thermometer, and determining the exact amount by weighing the bottle after the water has been added. Move the bottle about so that the water will come in contact with all parts of the inside, hold it inverted the greater part of the time but do not shake it. Note the temperature after it becomes constant. Next add about 40-50 gms. more of water at a known temperature near that of the room. Determine as 34 ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE [65-66 before the exact amount by weighing and after moving it about and inverting it as before note the final steady temperature. Equating the heat lost by the bottle, thermometer, coil, and water first put in to that gained by the water added later will give the desired water- equivalent. (6) Connect the heating coil, whose resistance, R, is to be determined in series with an ammeter, leaving the circuit open. Put some water in the thermos bottle, determining the exact amount by weighing the bottle after the water is poured in, immerse the heating coil and thermometer and after moving the bottle about and inverting it record the initial temperature. Close the circuit and let the current run for a time interval, T, measured in seconds, then move the bottle about to secure a uniform temperature and note its final constant value. , Make a second trial, using your results as a guide in varying the time and amount of water used. (c) Measure the resistance of the heating coil using a postoffice bridge. (d) From your data in (a) and (b) calculate the resis- tance of the coil used, and compare your results with the value found in (c). 66. ELECTROMOTIVE FORGE. Poggendorff's Method. The Potentiometer. The B. M. F. of a cell is equal to the maximum differ- ence of potential which it is capable of producing at its terminals. This maximum occurs when the external cir- cuit is broken, i. e., on open circuit. 66] ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE 35 Poggendorff's method of measuring the E. M. F. of a cell, b 2 , consists in finding two points A and C in an independent circuit (61, G\ t A B) between which the dif- ference in potential exactly equals that of the terminals of the cell, 6 2 , on open circuit. If these points be connected so as to oppose the cell no current will flow through it and the difference in potential between the two points, calculated from the current and resistance between A ^-^ j ^ and C, equals the B.

The simplest form of potentiometer is a uniform stretched wire. If the points of balance obtained in two cases are C x and C s , while the corresponding values of the E. M.

In making a test, set the slider at the desired point on the wire and press the key just long enough to determine the direction of the deflection produced, as a long con- tact will cause polarization of the Leclanche. Determine first whether the Leclanche is properly con- nected, which will be the case if it is possible to find two points of contact for which the deflections are in opposite directions. Then adjust the slider until the galvanometer indicates zero current, and read its position. Read the tangent galvanometer, reversing its deflection as usual. As the error in your result will be directly proportional to the error in the determination of current endeavor to reduce the error in the tangent galvanometer reading to one tenth of one percent or less. From Ohm's law calculate the difference in potential between the end of the wire, A, and the sliding contact, C, which is equal to the E. M. F. of the Leclanche cell. Replace the Leclanche cell with a dry battery and determine its E. M. F. in the same way. (6) Check your determinations of the E- M. F. of the cells just used by comparison with a standard cell of known E. M. F. Such a cell is used as a standard of E. M. F., its con- stancy depends upon careful handling, and upon having only minute currents sent through it. A standard cell is intended only for comparison purposes by compensation or open circuit methods. Do not test its E. M. F. on a voltmeter. Knowing that the E. M. F. is 1.0183 volts, it will be possible by a little calculation to set the slider very near to the true point at the start. 66-67] THERMO-ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE 37 Never use a standard cell without such a preliminary test with an ordinary cell. If it is impossible to approxi- mate closely to the true position of the slider, a resistance of several thousand ohms should be included in series with the cell to protect it against currents of dangerous strength. 67. THERMO-ELEGTROMOTIVE FORCE. Calibration of a Galvanometer as a Direct-Reading Voltmeter Whenever contact is established between two dissimilar metals an electric potential difference is set up between their "free" ends. If now these free ends be joined this juncture will be the seat of a new difference in potential which will oppose that of the first juncture. The magni- tude of this potential difference depends not only upon the metals but also upon the temperature of the juncture. If therefore the two junctures be maintained at different temperatures, and the circuit be closed, the algebraic sum of the electromotive forces in the circuit will not be zero, and a current of electricity will be obtained. The object of this experiment is to find the relation between the difference in temperature of the junctures and the di- rection and magnitude of the resulting B. M. F. for a limited range of temperature. (a) Set the telescope so that the center of the scale is seen in the galvanometer mirror. Connect the thermo- electric couples in series with the galvanometer and an adjustable resistance. Keep one of the cups at the tem- perature of melting ice and heat the other until the water boils. Adjust the resistance until the galvanometer reading is on the scale and the deflection as large as possible. Then remove the source of heat and take the galvano- meter readings as the water cools for about every 10 38 THERMO-ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE [67 change in temperature, down to a temperature of 10. Keep the water in the cups well stirred and record as nearly simultaneously as possible the temperature of the two junctures and the corresponding galvanometer reading. Record the resistance in series with the galvanometer and also the distance from the scale to the galvanometer. (6) In order to find the potential difference in volts between the terminals of the thermo-electric couples, for any given temperatures, it will be necessary to calibrate the galvanometer as a voltmeter. This may be done by finding the current necessary to produce deflections over the same range as those in (a), then if the resistance of the circuit is known, the B. M. F. may be found from Ohm's law. Pass a current from a storage battery, B, through a resistance box containing 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 ohm coils and an ammeter, A, connected in series. Remove the thermo-couple from the d' Arson val galvanometer circuit and attach a traveling plug to each end of this circuit. Insert these traveling plugs on either side of the 0.1 ohm coil whose resistance should be in the circuit. Leave the resistance box, R, in the d'Arsonval galvanometer circuit with the resistance un- Fig. 5. Showing the connection when calibrating the d'Arsonval galvanometer used with resistance R as a voltmeter. 67] THERMO-ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE 39 changed. The conditions as to resistance in this circuit must be the same as in (a). The resistance of the thermo- couple is small as compared with the resistance of the remainder of the circuit and may be neglected. The resistance of the d'Arsonval galvanometer circuit is now one branch of a parallel circuit, the 0.1 ohm resistance of the box between the galvanometer terminals being the other branch. Since the resistance in the galvanometer circuit is very large compared to this 0.1 ohm, the difference in potential between the terminals of the galvanometer circuit can be considered as the product of the total current times this 0.1 ohm resistance. The direction of the current should be such as to give a deflection in the same direction as the deflection in (a). Adjust the resistance in the box connected in series with the storage cell to give a suitable deflection of the d'Arsonval galvanometer. Obtain four such values covering the range of deflections observed in (a), reading the ammeter in each case. (c) Knowing the direction of the current producing the deflection, find which way the current was flowing in (a) across the heated juncture. (d) Make a plot of the results in (a) plotting deflections as ordinates and differences in temperature as abscissae. From the data, obtained in (b) make another curve on the same sheet in which the abscissae give the electro- motive force in volts, the ordinates being scale deflections as before. From these curves find the E. M. F. in micro- volts for a single element when the difference in temperature between the junctures is 1C. 40 THE EARTH-INDUCTOR [68 68. THE EARTH-INDUCTOR. Relative Calibration of a Galvanometer. (a) A sensitive galvanometer is necessary in this ex- periment. Since the galvanometer may not obey any sim- ple law, such as the tangent law, a relative calibration curve must be obtained. To do this connect a portable storage cell in series with a stretched wire and a suitable resistance coil; set the galvanometer in the position in which it is to be used in the experiment. If the galvano- meter terminals be now connected to two points on this stretched wire, separated by a suitable distance, a de- flection will be obtained. Since the galvanometer re- sistance is high compared to the resistance of the stretched wire between the galvanometer terminals, it follows that the current through the galvanometer is approximately proportional to the distance between the galvanometer terminals. Obtain about ten galvanometer deflections, reversing the current through the galvanometer in each case, note also the distance between the galvanometer terminals along the stretched wire corresponding to each deflection. Plot your results, taking relative electromo- tive forces as abscissae and galvanometer deflections as ordinates. (6) Connect the galvanometer with the earth-inductor, placing the latter as far as possible from the galvano- meter. Place the earth-inductor so that the two sta- tionary, upright supports are in an east-and-west line and set the circle so that its axis of rotation is horizontal. Turn the circle slowly into a horizontal position, let the galvanometer needle come to rest, and then turn the cir- cle suddenly through 180, noting the effect on the gal- vanometer. Explain the cause of the current produced. 68] THE EARTH INDUCTOR 41 Turn the circle in the same direction through another 180, and compare the direction of the induced current with that just obtained. Account for the directions being as you find them in the two cases. (c) Rotate the coil continuously and uniformly, re- cording the number of turns per minute and the deflection of the galvanometer. Now rotate the coil continuously and uniformly at a rate either one-half or twice as great as the rate just used, recording again the rate and the deflection. From the calibration curve of the galvano- meter determine the relative electromotive forces in the two cases. Assuming the resistance of the circuit constant, what effect do you find upon the induced electromotive force when the rate of rotation is doubled? When the coil is being turned at a constant rate are the tubes or lines of magnetic force being cut at a constant rate? Is the electromotive force induced under these conditions constant or variable? If the current is variable why is the galvanometer reading fairly constant when the turning is uniform? (d) Set the coil with the axis of rotation vertical, and rotate the coil at the same rate as in one of the cases in (c). To what component of the earth's magnetic field is the induced electromotive force proportional in this case? To what component was it proportional in (c) ? From the relative currents obtained in the two cases calculate the angle of dip. (e) By varying the angle of inclination of the coil, find a position for which there will be no electromotive force induced when the coil is rotated. Read the angle of in- clination of the axis of rotation on the graduated circle, and compare the angle thus found with the angle of dip calculated in (d). 42 RESISTANCE OF AN ELECTROLYTE [68-69 (/) Turn the base of the earth-inductor through 90 and rotate the coil continuously about a vertical axis at the same rate as in (d). Compare the deflection here obtained with that obtained in (d), and explain the dif- ference if there be any difference. (g) From the absolute value of H find the total strength of the earth's field. 69. RESISTANCE OF AN ELECTROLYTE. Kohlrausch's Method. Alternating Current-Telephone. The specific resistance of a material is the resistance between two opposite faces of a cube of the material each edge of which is 1 centimeter in length. If this material is a substance in solution, the specific resistance always refers to a particular concentration which should be stated. The reciprocal of the specific resistance is called the specific conductivity. Metallic conductors, as far as we know, suffer no per- manent change by the passage of electricity through them; in electrolytes, however, the transference of electricity from the anode to the kathode is accompanied by the transport of matter. If we assume that the electricity is carried wholly by the positively and negatively charged ions into which some of the molecules are split up when in solution it follows as a matter of course that the ease with which the current will flow (as measured by the conductivity) in a solution containing a definite number of molecules, will depend on the number which are dissociated. Let us take as the /number of molecules, the number found in 1 c.cm. of normal solution of the substance. In a 0.5-normal solution this number would be scattered 69] RESISTANCE OF AN ELECTROLYTE 43 through 2 c.cm. of the solution, if the degree of dissocia- tion were the same, the specific conductivity would be only one-half as great, since only half as many ions are present. Dividing the specific conductivity by the con- centration will give us the conductivity due to the num- ber of molecules in 1 c.cm. normal solution the molecu- lar conductivity. The limit to the molecular conductivity will evidently be reached when all the molecules are dissociated. The resistance of an electrolyte cannot be found by the ordinary methods since polarization enters, producing a back E. M. F. There are several methods for measuring the resistance of an electrolyte, one of these methods, due to Kohlrausch, almost wholly avoids the effects due to polarization by using a rapidly alternating current. To secure such a current the secondary current from a small induction coil will be used. (a) Connect a storage cell to the primary of the in- duction coil and connect the secondary of the induction coil to the bridge. Place the electrolyte in one branch and a resistance box in the other branch. Since a gal- vanometer will not detect a rapidly alternating current a telephone will be used in place of a galvanometer. Avoid any loops of wire; since an alternating current is used, self-induction is present and should be made as small as possible. If k be the specific conductivity of a solution of known concentration and W the resistance of this electrolyte be- tween the fixed electrodes measured with the bridge, then the constant, h, for this pair of electrodes is h = W k. Measure W, using a 1/50 normal solution of KCL The position of balance will be the position in which there is 44 RESISTANCE OF AN ELECTROLYTE [69 a minimum of sound in the telephone. From the value of k given in the tables calculate h. The determination of k for the various concentrations of the substance whose conductivity is desired involves only measurement of W for each concentration. (6) Determine the resistance of the substance fur- nished for the following concentrations: 3-, 2-, 1-, 0.1-, 0.01-, 0.001-, and 0.0001- normal, keeping the temper- ature constant. Determine the resistance of the water used in preparing the solutions. Care should be taken not to disturb the electrodes while changing the concentration of the solution. (c) Calculate from the observed values of the resist- ance, the specific conductivity and the molecular conduc- tivity, presenting the results in tabular form. The conductivity of the water is to be subtracted from that of the solutions. 70] POLARIZATION EFFECTS IN A CELL 45 70. STUDY OF POLARIZATION EFFECTS IN A LECLANCHE CELL. Galvanometer Used as Voltmeter Use a d'Arsonval galvanometer, which has the proper resistance connected in series with it, as a voltmeter. In this experiment the closing of a key produces a deflection of the galvanometer corresponding to an E. M. F., which is changing rather rapidly, so that a reading must be obtained as soon as possible. (a) Connect the terminals of the Leclanche cell directly with the terminals of the galvanometer, and so get a reading which is proportional to the total E. M. F., E, of the cell. Throughout the succeeding series of observations the volt- meter should remain connected to the terminals of the cell, except that it should be disconnected at convenient intervals to check the zero reading on the scale. (6) Connect the terminals of the cell through a spool of 4-ohms resistance and a break-circuit key (one which breaks connection instead of making it on depressing the lever). Complete this parallel circuit at a noted time and immediately read the galvanometer deflection, e. Be careful not to connect the cell in such a way as to send a current through it until ready to begin operations. (c) At the end of five minutes read e again, disconnect the resistance, by means of the break-circuit key, and as quickly as possible read E. This reading must be taken quickly because E, which has been reduced by polarization caused by the passage of the current, immediately begins to return to its former value. (d) Re-connect the resistance, and note the time at which e again has the same value as that read in (c). Count from this another 5-minute interval, then repeat 46 COMPARISON OF CAPACITIES [70-71 the readings as in (c). By this means the readings ob- tained are very nearly the same as they would have been if no time had been lost in taking them, so that the current could flow continuously. Continue the readings in this way until four periods of five minutes each have been covered. (e) Leaving the resistance disconnected, after taking the last reading under (d), take readings of E at 5-minute intervals for about 45 minutes. At the end of this interval secure a cell whose E. M. F has been previously determined, or is known, and by getting the galvanometer deflection corresponding to its E. M. F., obtain a factor for reducing your readings to volts. Why could not a standard cell, whose resistance is about 1,000 ohms, be used for this purpose? (/) Plot a curve with time as abscissae and corres- ponding values of E as ordinates, for the whole time of the experiment. Remember that during the first part, the 5-minute intervals only are to be counted. Derive from Ohm's law an expression for the resistance of the cell in terms of E, e, and the known external re- sistance. Using this expression calculate the resistance of the cell for each pair of values of E and e, tabulate the results, and show that for this purpose the scale readings corresponding to E and e may be used without knowing their values in volts. 71. COMPARISON OF CAPACITIES. A comparison of capacities may be made by a method which is analogous to the Wheatstone Bridge method of determining the resistance of electrolytes, using an alter- nating current and telephone (as in Experiment 69), 71-72] EFFICIENCY OF HEATING DEVICES 47 where a condition of balance is indicated by no buzzing in the telephone. If two condensers, whose capacities may be represented by Ci and C 2 be placed in the r and x branches of the bridge (see fig. 2, p. 29) and the parts of the slide wire be replaced by two resistances p and q when the condition of balance is obtained it may be shown that d/C 2 = q/p. (a) Determine the capacity of the condenser fur- nished by comparing it with the standard condenser. The resistance box p should have a range of from 1-10000 ohms. Give to p a fixed value and vary q until a balance is obtained. Approach the position of balance from the side of too large resistances as well as from the side of too small resistances, using the mean in your calculations. (6) Change the dielectric of the condenser and make a second determination of its capacity. (c) From the two values of the capacity of the con- denser determine the specific inductive capacity of the substance used in (b). (d) Establish the truth of the relation used in calcula- ting the capacity of the condenser. It may be assumed, in the proof, that neither absorption nor leakage occur. 72. EFFICIENCY OF ELECTRICAL HEATING DEVICES. The object of this exercise is to determine the efficiency of a hot plate when used to heat water. (a) Connect the hot plate in series with an ammeter having a range of 1 to 10 amperes and shunt a voltmeter having a range of 1 to 120 volts across its terminals. Weigh the kettle, dry and empty, and again when 48 EFFICIENCY OF HEATING DEVICES [72 about half full of water. Close the circuit through the stove and let the current run for one minute before placing the kettle upon it. During this time stir the water in the kettle and take its temperature. Start the stop clock as the kettle is placed upon the stove. Read the voltmeter and the ammeter every minute, arranging the readings in tabular form so that the average may be conveniently found for use in your computations. Stir the water occasionally. At the end of 9i minutes begin to stir the water and minute later read the temperature of the water in the kettle just as you take it from the stove. Immediately open the circuit. (b) Make a second determination allowing the water to come to the boiling point. (c) Repeat the experiment with the kettle full of water. (d) From your average ammeter and voltmeter read- ings calculate the resistance of the stove and using this value find the number of calories consumed from the relation, Heat (in calories) = 0.24 C 2 R t where C repre- sents the current in amperes and R the resistance in ohms and t the time in seconds. Find the heat received from the weight of water and the temperature change, taking into account the water equivalent of the kettle. Express the efficiency of the stove in per cent in each case. At local rates for electricity find the cost of one liter of boiling hot water. PHYSICAL TABLES 49 DENSITIES AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS. (The values given in this Table are mostly for pure specimens of the substances listed. The student should not expect the prop- erties of the average laboratory specimen to correspond exactly in value with them. As a rule the densities are given for ordi- nary atmospheric temperature. The specific heats and coefficients of expansion are in most cases the average values between and 100C. The melting points and heats of fusion are given for atmospheric pressure.) The coefficient of cubical expansion of solids is approximately three times the linear coefficient. CJ +J . OJ bJO +-4 ^ a rt "3 S 'O.g 8 rt-S d o " -> -2 Cj w Solid.

The logarithm of a product of two or more numbers is the sum of the logarithms of its factors; for example, log. (.0821 X 463.2) = (0.9143 - 2.) + (0.6658 + 2.) = 0.5801 + 1. The logarithm of a quotient is the difference between the logar- ithms of the dividend and divisor; for example, log. (.5321-*- 916)= (0.7260-1.) - (0.9619 + 2.) = 0.7641 -4. The logarithm of a power or root of a number is the exponent times the logarithm of the number; for example, log V / :863) T =3/2X(0.9360-1.) = 0.9040-1. To find the number from its logarithm: Locate in the table the mantissa next less than the given mantissa, then join the figure standing above it at the top of the table to the two figures at the extreme left on the same line as the mantissa, and finally to these three join the figure at the top of the interpolation column which contains the difference between the two mantissae. In the four- figure number thus found, so place the decimal point that the number shall be the product of some number, that lies between 1 and 10, by a power of 10 whose exponent is the characteristic of the logarithm. For example, antilog (0.6440 + 3) = 4405; antilog (0.3069 - 2) = .02027. Caution. In adding and subtracting logarithms it is well to remember that the mantissa is always essentially positive and may or may not therefore, have the same sign as its characteristic.

VELOCITY OF SOUNDS IN SOLIDS. Kundt's Method. Kundt's method of determining the velocity of sound in solids and gases consists in setting up stationary waves in a horizontal glass tube by means of the longitudinal vibrations of a rod, the form of the stationary wave being made evident by the recurring patterns into which lyco- podium powder, or other dust, is thrown when the resonance is sufficiently vigorous. A great variety of forms will be observed in these dust figures, but the exact conditions which result in any pattern are difficult to define as much depnends upo the manner of rubbing the vibrating rod, the size of the dust particles, the dry- ness of the walls of the tube, the amount of dust present, the length of the glass tube, the length of the vibrating column of air, and the space between the disk on the end of the rod and the glass tube. In every pattern, however, the distance between corres- ponding points of adjacent waves will be exactly one-half a wave length of the sound in air. It should be particularly noted that irregularities may occur, in some patterns, both near the closed end of the tube and near the end of the vibrating rod, so that in general, measurements should not include the first half wave length at either end. Figure t is the pattern usually obtained. Figure 2 is often obtained when the length of the vibrating column is 8 THE NATURAL SCALE. HARMONY [82 Additional Exercise. Determine the velocity of sound in tubes of various diameters presenting your results in the form of a plot showing the relation between the velocity of sound in air and the diameter of the tube. 82. THE NATURAL SCALE. HARMONY. The sonometer should be provided with two strings of the same material and diameter. The strings should be tuned in unison. (a) Place a bridge under one of the strings and grad- ually change the length of the vibrating portion until you have secured a tone which in your judgment sounds well when heard with the string whose length has not been changed. Shorten the vibrating part still further until you have a second tone which goes well with the fundamental tone. Strike these three notes in rapid succession. They form a major triad. Together with the octave of the first note they form a major chord. From your measurements determine the ratio of the vibration rates for these four notes. Place a bridge under the first string so that it gives the second of the new tortes found and see if with this tone as your starting point you can find two other notes which sound well with it. That is, find another major triad. Find the ratio of their vibration rates. Starting with the octave of your first fundamental tone find another triad by increasing the length of the string until a pleasing combination similar to the two first found is the result. Find the ratios of the vibration rates of the eight tones in terms of the fundamental, i. e. the tone given out by the entire string. 82-83] THE NATURAL SCALE 9 Strike these tones in succession, in order of increasing vibration rate and you have the natural or diatonic scale. Why is this scale not used on the piano? (b) In order to determine the physical basis for har- mony, test the triads separately for sympathetic vibra- tions of the second string for any of the positions found when the two sound well together. In what way must the first string be vibrating in order that such sympa- thetic vibrations may be set up? Is the intensity of the sympathetic vibration greater in the case of two notes of a triad than for two notes not so related. If possible repeat this test on a piano. After considering the overtones possible on a string in transverse vibration together with your experimental work make a statement as to the secret of harmony. 83. LONGITUDINAL VIBRATION OF WIRES. The object of this experiment is to determine Young's modulus for the material of a wire from measurements of the wave-length of its longitudinal vibrations and its density. A wire about ten meters long is clamped at each end by means of two vises. The attachment at one end being to the movable jaw of the vise so that the tension may be changed. The length of the vibrating part is varied by means of a movable bridge. The points at which the wire meets the vise and the bridge are nodes, and the distance / between two consecu- tive nodes is one half of a wave-length (for the funda- mental). Therefore the velocity v = 2ln = V E / d, from which Young's modulus E may be found. (a) With the wire under slight tension set up longi- tudinal vibrations in it by rubbing it with the fingers, 10 LONGITUDINAL VIBRATION OF WIRES [83 which have been touched with powdered rosin. At the same time sound a tuning fork of known frequency, and adjust the vibrating length of the wire until it gives the same note. Approach the position of unison from the side of too great a length and again from the side of too small a length and take the mean as the value of /. The formula given above states that the velocity of a longitudinal vibration is independent of the tension of the wire. If this is the case the pitch of the note should not be altered when the tension of the wire is varied with- in wide limits (while the length is kept constant). Try this experiment, taking care not to stretch the wire beyond the elastic limit of its material. (6) Determine the density of the wire from the sample furnished by any method you select. (c) Calculate Young's modulus for the material of the wire. LIGHT The Convention of Signs for Mirrors, Single Refracting Surfaces and Lenses. In writing the formulae which show the relation be- tween the object distance u, the image distance v, and the constants of mirrors, single refracting surfaces and lenses the following convention of signs will be used in the manual and also in the lecture course given in con- nection with the laboratory work: 1. Distances measured over a path actually traveled by the light are called positive, +; distances measured over a projected path of the ray are called negative, . The ray being the normal to the wave-front. This applies to the object distance u, the image dis- tance v, and the focal length /. In accordance with this convention the distance from the mirror or lens to a real object, a real image, or a real focus, is always positive; negative values always mean that the object, image or focus, is virtual. 2. The radius of curvature of a surface which tends to produce a real focus is called positive; one which tends to produce a virtual focus is negative. Accordingly the radius of a concave mirror is positive, since it brings light to a real focus, while the radius of curvature of a concave refracting surface is negative, as it renders a parallel beam divergent. Both radii of curvature of a double convex lens are positive; both radii of curvature of a double concave lens are negative. This convention of signs places the real physical quantity and the positive sign together. It has also the practical advantage of being the one uniformly used by opticians, manufacturers and dealers. Any convergent system has a positive focal length. A divergent system has a negative focal length. 12 THE CONVENTION OF SIGNS 1 1 For a mirror ~^~ ~ ~ (i) For a single refracting surface + = - (2) (3) For a lens 4~ + ~T = ^ n ~ 1 ) ^~7T + ^ = ~J~ For a combination of two thin lenses in contact, whose focal lengths are /j, and f,, respectively, the focal length of the combination F, is given by the formula 111 , .

For any oblique ray AB draw a parallel to AB from the optical center to its intersection with the second Fig. 5. Path of any oblique ray. focal plane at C, then the refracted ray is BC, since parallel rays intersect in the focal plane. Spherical Mirrors. The following simple optical methods are useful in determining the radius of curvature of spherical mirrors or lens surfaces: THE SPHEROMETER 13 Concave Mirrors. 1. Place the concave surface in the path of a beam of parallel light sunlight, light rendered parallel by means of a lens, or light from a distant object tilt it slightly and find the reflected image with a card. When sharply in focus the distance from the reflect- ing surface to the image will be the focal length, or one-half the radius of curvature. For an object not very distant, the radius of curvature could similarly be determined by measuring both object and image distances. 2. Turn the concave surface to be tested toward an illuminated aperture in a white screen. A slit with a single cross-hair will be found convenient. Adjust until the image is seen on the screen beside the slit. The distance from the reflecting surface to the screen will then be equal to the radius of curvature. Convex Mirrors. 1. Use a convergent lens to form a real image of a narrow slit in a white screen. Adjust a needle, using the parallax test, so that it coincides with the image. Now place the convex surface to be tested between the image and the lens (convex side toward the lens) and adjust until an image of the slit is formed on the white screen, beside the slit. In this case the distance between the needle and the convex surface is equal to its radius of curvature. The Spherometer. The spherometer furnishes an easy mechanical method for determining the radius of curvature of spherical surfaces. It is used to best advantage with surfaces of medium curvature. A. The Ring Spherometer. A rotating arm is provided which slips over the point of the spherometer screw. By means of this the upper brass ring should be adjusted so that its axis coincides with the axis of rotation of the screw and then clamped in position by means of the small thumb-screws underneath. The internal radius of this ring, which is the perpendi- cular distance from the axis of the screw to the inner edge of the ring, is called the "Span," 5, of the spherometer. 14 THE SPHEROMETER Fig. 6. A section through the lens and spherometer ring. If the difference in the reading of the spherometer screw when the ring is covered with a piece of plate glass and when a lens of radius of curvature R is placed upon it be d, see figure, then it may be shown that the radius of curvature is determined from these measurements by means of the formula d) 2d If the pitch of the spherometer screw is not standard it should be determined by measuring with the micrometer calipers the thickness of a piece of glass, whose thickness has been determined in terms of the pitch of the spherometer screw. B. The Peg-Spherometer. The peg-spherometer consists' of a tripod, the legs of which form an aquilateral triangle, with the screw at its center. If / represents the average distance between the legs of the tripod and d the mean distance from the point of the screw when resting against the surface of a lens, to the plane through the ends of the spherometer legs, it may be shown that the radius of curvature, R, is given by the expression (2) C. The Aldis Peg- Spherometer. With the Aldis peg-spherometer, in which the points on the ordinary spherometer are replaced by small spheres, of average radius r, the relations are very similar, R + r taking the place of R in equation (2). 91] RADIUS OF CURVATURE 15 91. RADIUS OF CURVATURE By Reflection. The following method of determining the radius of curvature of spherical reflecting surfaces is particularly useful in measuring surfaces of small radius, as well as surfaces inaccessible to measurement by other methods. In the figure DCE is a section of the reflecting surface whose center is 0. A and B are two objects and A' and B' are their images. Fig. 7. Illustrates the method of finding the radius of curvature by reflection. Let P C =d, P 1 C = -x, O C = -r, A B = L, A 1 B> = /. 112 r d Then - -- -- .-. *= - - n\ d x r r + 2d The first equation, however may be written r- + - --- From which follows d r x r r + d From the figure -=- =< , .-. - - = JL L r + d L d 16 RADIUS OF CURVATURE [91 The radius of curvature, r, of a mirror (or lens) may thus be determined from measurements of the distance apart, L, of two objects and the distance, /, between their images formed by the mirror when d centimeters away, To measure the distance / between the images, a traveling telescope should be placed midway between the objects A and B with its axis parallel to the axis, OP, of the mirror. The objects, A and B, as well as the telescope and the mirror should be in a common horizontal plane. In finding the radius of curvature of a lens surface it must be remembered that each surface of the lens will form a pair of images. These may be distinguished by remembering that the images produced by a convex re- flecting surface are always erect. The telescope, however, inverts them. It should be noted that formula (2) does not hold for the images formed by the second surface of a lens, as the light which strikes it has suffered refraction at the first surface. To find the radius of curvature of a lens. (a) Measure with a meter rod the distance, d, meas- uring from the line joining the two objects to the reflect- ing surface; and the distance, L, between the centers of the objects A and B, (slits in a screen, illuminated in turn by a frosted bulb incandescent lamp). (6) To find / set the cross-hairs of the eyepiece on one of the images and read the scale and head of the micrometer screw. Make several settings, always turn- ing the screw in the same direction in coming to the final position, and take the average. Then turn the screw until the cross-hairs coincide with the other image, take several readings, averaging them as before, being careful in making any setting to turn the screw in the same direction as in the first case in coming to the position of coincidence between image and cross-hairs. 91-92] REFRACTION AT A SINGLE PLANE SURFACE 17 (c) Calculate the value of r from equation (2). What modification in equations (1) and (2) would be introduced if the reflecting surface were concave? 92. REFRACTION AT A SINGLE PLANE SURFACE. The object of this experiment is to observe the visual effects due to the astigmatism which results when spherical waves are refracted at a plane surface, and to plot the caustic curve of the refracted wave. AIR AIR WATER Fig. 8. In the figure let the point be a source in water from which spherical waves emanate passing into air across the plane surface A B. The dotted line aa represents the position an advancing spherical wave would have reached at a given instant if it had not passed out of the water into the air, and the line bbb represents the actual wave in air. This wave bbb is not spherical as we see by compari- son with the arc C V; that is, refraction at a plane surface is subject to spherical aberration. Furthermore, a small portion of the wave at dd has two radii of curvature; or in other words, the pencil of rays near dd is an astigmatic pencil, that is, oblique refraction at a plane surface is subject to astigmatism. The intersection of the wave bb with the plane of the paper forms at dd the arc of a circle 18 REFRACTION AT A SINGLE PLANE SURFACE [92 whose center is at K. Suppose a plane to be passed through the line L K d perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The intersection of the wave bb with this plane at dd is the arc of a circle whose center is at L. Suppose a person to look at the point O, allowing the pencil of rays dd to enter the two eyes. If the head is held erect so that the eyes lie in a horizontal line (perpendicular to the plane of the paper) then the curvature of the por- tion dd of the wave front about the vertical axis deter- mines the location of as perceived by the two eyes, and the point appears at L. If, on the other hand, the head is held on one side so that the two eyes lie in a vertical line (in the plane of the paper) then the curvature of the portion dd of the wave front about a horizontal axis determines the location of 0, as perceived by the two eyes, and the point O appears at K. A short horizontal line through K and a short vertical line at L are the two focal lines of the astigmatic pencil dd. The caustic curve 0' K is the locus of the center of curvature of the wave front bbb, or the caustic curve may be defined as follows: Imagine lines to be . T r drawn normal to the Fig. 9. Showing the focal lines KK andLL of the astigmatic pencil dddd. Curve bb Sit each point; the envelope of these lines will be the caustic curve. The apparatus consists of a metal strip carrying a ver- tical scale VH and a horizontal scale A B in a jar of water, the scale A B lying on a level with the surface of the water. The lower end of the extension H is turned upward and has a narrow straight edge of celluloid in- serted in the end. The rest of this extension as well as the inside of the jar is painted black so as to make the 92] REFRACTION AT A SINGLE PLANE SURFACE 19 edge clearly visible and to enable one to see clearly the reflected image of the vertical scale in the water surface. (a) Note that the polished edge O appears to lie against the face of the reflected image of the vertical scale when the line joining the observer's eyes is horizontal, whereas it seems very much nearer to the eyes than the reflected image of the vertical scale when the line joining the eyes is vertical. To determine the caustic curve, look at the polished edge O with one eye placed at E, in the plane of the scales V H - AB, and record the reading on the reflected image of the vertical scale of the point L where the polished edge appears to stand, and record the corresponding reading of the point K where the line of sight crosses the horizontal scale. Observe the readings L and K for a series of positions of the eye E covering as wide a range as possible. Measure the distance A from the top of the scale A B to the edge 0. (b) Make a plot showing the scales O V and A B as axes, lay off each pair of observed values of H K andH L and draw each straight line LK. Add to the plot the point O' calculated from the measured distance A O and the refractive index, and draw the totally reflected ray, then draw the caustic curve. State Huygens' principle. Taking the refractive index of water with reference to air as 4/3 find by graphical application of this principle a wave front in air emanating from a point source below a plane boundary between air and water. Show by comparison that this wave front is not spherical. 20 REFRACTION AT A SINGLE SPHERICAL SURFACE [93 93. THE REFRACTION TROUGH. A. Refraction at a Single Spherical Surface. The exercise is a study of the conjugate relation be- tween object and image for a single refracting surface, together with a determination of the constants (radius of curvature, refractive index, and focal length) of such a surface. The apparatus consists of a long trough with a thin spherical watch glass set in one end, so that the liquid filling the trough will have a convex surface out- wards. The refraction of the watch glass is to be neglected. (a) Determine the radius of curvature of the surface or surfaces to be used by any of the methods, described in a separate exercise. (b) Place the object screen on the air side of the sur- face at distances from the surface which gives a real image in the liquid. Locate this real image by means of a movable screen placed in the liquid. Immerse an object screen in the liquid, illuminating it, if necessary, through the plate glass end of the trough, place the screen at such a distance from the surface that a real image is formed in air. Locate the image with a screen and eyepiece. See if image and object distances are reversible by taking an object distance equal to one previously used and find the image. (c) Find the refractive index of the liquid from each of the observed values of u and v. (d) Show that for a single refracting surface n J_ n - l V u r 93] THE MODEL EYE 21 where n is the refractive index of the medium into which the light passes relative to the medium containing the object. The radius of curvature of a convex refracting surface is considered positive, the radius of curvature of a concave surface is considered negative. Define conjugate points. The first principal focal distance is defined as the value of u when l/v = 0, i. e. t when the light is parallel after leaving the surface. The second principal focal distance is defined as the value of v for 1 / u = 0, i. e., parallel light is incident on the surface. Calculate the first and second principal focal distances for the surfaces or the surface used, assuming the object in air. Additional Exercise with the Refraction Trough. Having determined the constants, (radii of curvature and index) of a convex lens, place it in the refraction trough in place of the watch glass and determine its focal length on the water side from measurements of conjugate foci. Compare this value with the calculated value. B. Study of a Model Eye. Myopia, Hypermetropia, Astig- matism. The refraction trough with the meniscus is to represent the optical system of the eye. The white screen corres- ponding to the retina, and the refraction of the meniscus corresponding to the total refraction of the normal eye. Abnormal vision in this model eye will be produced by placing a single lens close to the meniscus, while the correcting glasses will be placed in the two groves slightly in advance of the first one, corresponding to the distance at which eye glasses are ordinarily worn. 22 THE MODEL EYE [93 As a test object an incandescent lamp with a clear globe or a small arc light is to be used. It should be placed behind a small circular opening at a distance of about two feet, with space on the table to move the lamp about a foot further away from the trough. (a) Focus the image sharply on the white screen with the lamp about two feet away and consider the position of the white screen thus found as the proper position of the retina for the normal eye. (6) The Myopic Eye. In the myopic eye the image of a distant object seen without accommodation falls in front of the retina. Either because the eyeball is too long, the usual case, or because the lens is too strong. Bringing the object nearer will throw the image further back and hence improve vision. A person with myopic eyes is called "near-sighted." Represent the myopic eye by placing a lens marked M just in front of the meniscus. Note the change in the appearance of the image. Test for improvement of the image by moving the object nearer to the "eye." Place the object in its original position and find a correcting lens which will bring the image to its former sharpness. Note the power and form of this lens. (c) The Hypermetropic Eye. In the hypermetropic eye the image of a distant object seen without accommo- dation falls behind the retina. Hither because the eyeball is too short or the refracting system is too weak. Vision will be best for objects furthest away, hence the term "far-sightedness." Represent the hypermetropic eye by placing a lens marked H in front of the meniscus. Test for improvement of the image by moving the object away from the eye. Place the object in the 93] THE MODEL EYE 23 original position and find the lens which brings the image to its proper focus on the "retina." Note the power and form of this correcting lens. (d) The Astigmatic Eye. In the astigmatic eye the images of points are not points but lines. The effect of the refracting system is that of a combination of a spherical lens with a cylinder. The power of the eye is greater in one plane than in a plane at right angles to it. Represent the astigmatic eye by placing the lens marked A in front of the meniscus. Try to secure im- provement of vision by changing the position of the object; and, with the object in its initial position, by the use of various correcting glasses. What is the relation between the axis of the correcting lens and the plane of the image seen without this lens? With a +4 cylinder in front of the eye study the form of the cone of light when the wave surface is astigmatic. (e) Draw diagrams showing the initial and final positions of the object, eye, correcting lenses, and retina, in the cases studied above. 24 THE SPECTROMETER [94 94. THE SPECTROMETER. Measuring the Angles of a Prism. The spectrometer consists of a graduated circle, generally fixed in a horizontal position, to which is at- tached a collimator and a telescope. The collimator consists of a tube containing an achromatic lens at one end and a vertical slit at the principal focus of the lens. The movable arm carries an astronomical telescope which is always directed towards the center of the graduated circle. The position of the telescope with reference to the fixed circle may be read by means of a vernier. Above the center of the graduated circle is a horizontal table, called the table of the spectrometer, which is capa- ble of rotation about the vertical axis of the circle. The position of the circle table can be determined by means of the vernier. Adjustment of the Spectrometer, Using a Gauss Eyepiece. 1. The Eyepiece. The eyepiece should be moved in or out until the cross-hairs are distinctly seen. 2. The Telescope. As the adjustment secured by focusing the telescope on a distant object is only approximate the following method of focusing the telescope for parallel light should be used. Cover the objective of the telescope with a plane mirror. Place a light at right angles to the axis of the telescope opposite the open- ing in the Gauss eyepiece so that the cross-hairs will be illuminated and the glass plate, inclined at 45 to the axis of the tube, sends some light down the barrel of the telescope. Move the tube carry- ing the eye-piece and cross-hairs until there is no parallax between the cross-hairs and their image, formed by the light reflected from the plane mirror. The cross-hairs are then in the focal plane of the telescope. Set the cross-hairs at 45 with the vertical. 3. 1*he Collimator. Illuminate the slit, turn the adjusted telescope into line with the collimator and then, while looking through the telescope, move the slit in or out till there is no parallax between its image and the cross-hairs. The slit is then in the focal plane of the collimator lens. 94] ADJUSTMENT OF THE SPECTROMETER 25 This is an important adjustment since when the slit is in focus the light coming from the collimator has a plane wave front, and the curvature of the wave-front will not be altered by the intro- duction of the prism or by any lateral displacement of the prism. After the above adjustments have been made, if there is any difficulty in seeing the cross-hairs, the eyepiece may be moved, but not the cross-hairs themselves. For work of extreme accuracy the axes of the telescope and collimator must lie in one plane, and always be per- pendicular to the axis about which the telescope rotates, and the faces of a prism or the plane of a grating placed on the spectrometer table should be parallel to this axis. These adjustments require patient and careful manipu- lation, and in the following work with the spectrometer the student may assume that they have been made. The methods of adjustment which have been used are given below. To adjust the Telescope perpendicular to the Axis of the Spectrometer: Use a Gauss eyepiece, illuminating the cross-hairs with some convenient source of light. Place a plane-parallel plate of glass upon the table of the spectrometer with one edge parallel to any two leveling screws (G F. See figure illustrating first method). Turn the table so that the glass reflects light back down the tele- scope and adjust the table until the reflected image of the cross- hairs is seen in the field of view. If the cross-hairs do not coincide vertically with their image correct half the distance by adjusting the table, by means of leveling screw H, the other half by moving the telescope. Rotate the table 180 until the reflected image is again in the field. If the two images coincide for both positions of the table, the telescope is perpendicular to the axis of the instru- ment and the plane of the glass plate is parallel to this axis. To adjust the Collimator perpendicular to the Axis of the Spectrometer: Illuminate the slit and rotate the telescope until the image of the slit is seen in the telescope, adjust the collimator until the image of the cross-hairs on the collimator slit coincide with the intersection of the cross-hairs in the field of the telescope. The collimator is then perpendicular to the axis of the instrument. 26 MEASURING THE ANGLES OF A PRISM [94 To adjust the Faces of the Prism parallel to the Axis of the Spectrometer: Set the prism on the spectrometer table with the face AC at right angles to a line through F G. The inclination of A C may be changed by turning either F or G. Using the Gauss eye- piece as directed above adjust A C until the cross-hairs coincide with their image in the field of view. Raising or lowering H will simply move the face A C in its own plane so that if F and G are left adjusted the face A C may be adjusted by turning H until the reflected image from this face also coincides with the cross-hairs. Adjust the face A B in this manner. All three faces of the prism are then vertical, that is, parallel to the axis about which the telescope (or the spectrometer table) rotates. (a) Adjust the eyepiece, telescope and collimator of the spectrometer using the methods outlined above. Measure by either one of the following methods the three angles of the prism, recording the number of the prism and distinguishing the angles by their numbers or letters. Make several settings for each angle. First Method. Keeping the Prism fixed. The prism is placed on the table of the spectrometer, (see figure) with its faces A B, A C vertical while the parallel beam from the collimator falls partly on the face A C, and partly on the face A B. From each of these faces a parallel beam is reflected, and if either of these beams falls on the ob- jective of the telescope, it will be brought to a focus on the cross-hairs of the latter. Turn the telescope so that the image of the slit reflected from one face coincides with {fa^ intersection of the tWO Fig. 11. Illustrates the adjustment of the prism and the first method of measuring the angles of a prism. . ., , cross-hairs and read the ver- 94] MEASURING THE ANGLES OF A PRISM 27 niers. Move the telescope until coincidence is again ob- tained between the cross-hairs and the image reflected from the other face and again read the verniers. A quick method of finding the reflected image of the slit is to locate the reflected beam with the eye first, then on swinging the telescope in front of the eye, the slit will be found in the field of view on looking through the telescope. The arm should then be clamped fast, the final adjustment always being made by means of the slow motion screw. (6) Show with the aid of a diagram that the difference of the two readings (the angle swept out by rotation of the telescope) is twice the angle of the prism formed by the intersection of the two faces, provided the incident light is parallel. Tabulate the values of the angles of the prism given by your data. Second Method. Keeping the Telescope fixed. Clamp the telescope so that its axis makes any convenient angle with the axis of the collimator. Turn the table carrying the prism until the image reflected from one face of the prism coincides with the intersection of the cross-hairs, and read the vernier at- tached to the spectrom- eter table. Turn the table until coincidence between the cross-hairs and the im- age of the slit as reflected from another face of the prism is obtained and again read the vernier. With this method, the Fig. 12. Illustrates the second method error due tQ non _ paral l e l_ of measuring the angles of a prism. ism of the light is avoided. 28 INDEX OF REFRACTION OF PRISM [94-95 To avoid the refracted images which are sometimes present in measuring the angles of a 90 prism it may be found convenient to shut off all light except that striking the reflecting surface by means of a small block of wood, or piece of cardboard. (b) Show that the difference in the two readings sub- tracted from 180 is the angle between the two reflecting surfaces and hence the angle of the prism. Present in tabular form the values of the angles of the prism calculated in this way from your data. 95. THE SPECTROMETER. Index of Refraction of a Prism. Dispersion. Use sodium light as a source and adjust the spectrom- eter as in the preceding experiment. (a) Measure one angle of the prism using the second method described above. (6) With the prism removed, turn the telescope to view the light coming directly from the collimator, and adjust until the intersection of the cross-hairs coincides with the image of the center of the slit. Displace the telescope and make another setting and read the vernier. Repeat several times and use the average of the results. Replace the prism on the spectrometer table, in the path of the light from the collimator, so that the light is re- fracted through that angle of the prism which has just been measured. Turn the prism so that the refracted image appears to move towards the direction of the incident light, continuing the motion until the image appears to stop. Further turning in the same direction will now cause the image to move away from the direction of the incident light. Having thus roughly found the position of mini- mum deviation, turn the telescope to view the image of 95] DISPERSION OF GLASS PRISM 29 the slit. Again turn the prism slightly, first one way and then the other, seeking to find the position of the prism for which turning in either direction causes the image to move away from the direction of the incident light. Having apparently found this position, carefully set the intersection of the cross-hairs on the center of the slit image, and again slightly turn the prism first one way and then the other. Any small motion of the image toward less deviation can now readily be detected, the cross-hairs serving as reference. Having the prism finally set at the position of minimum deviation and the inter- section of the cross-hairs coincident with the center of the image of the slit, read the telescope vernier. Displace the telescope and prism, set them again and take a second reading. Repeat several times and take the average. The difference between the minimum devi- ation reading and the direct reading gives the minimum deviation D. (c) Using a Bunsen burner and a salt of Lithium, determine the position of minimum deviation for another wave-length. (d) At the position of minimum deviation of a prism the angle of incidence and the angle of emergence are equal. From this relation and Snell's law show that _ sin%(D + A) sin ^ A where A is the angle of the prism. Insert the values A and D previously found and cal- culate the indices of refraction of the prism. Put your results in tabular form giving the number of the prism, the angle used, and for each wave-length the angle of minimum deviation and the index. The index of refraction of any transparent liquid can similarly be found by using a hollow glass prism. 30 PULFRICH'S REFRACTOMETER [96 96. REFRACTIVE INDEX BY TOTAL REFLECTION. Pulfrich's Refractometer. In Pulfrich's refractometer the light is usually received at grazing incidence on the boundary surface examined*. A lens throws a beam of light on the lower edge of the glass cylinder containing the liquid, whose refractive index is to be determined. The greater the angle of incidence a ray makes with the boundary line between the liquid Fig. 13. Pulfrich's Refractometer. and the glass the greater will be the angle of refraction. For a ray just parallel to the boundary (grazing incidence) the angle of refraction reaches a maximum value called the "critical angle." If now the angle i (see figure) be the angle which the ray refracted at the critical angle makes with the normal to the vertical face of the prism on emergence, then, since *The more elaborate forms of Pulfrich's refractometer, which are fitted with a cube or cylinder of glass in place of the 90 degree prism here shown, also permit of observations by the method of total internal reflection. 96] PULFRICH'S REFRACTOMETER 31 none of the emerging rays can make a smaller angle, the field of the observing telescope must be dark when its axis makes a smaller angle than i. The angle i thus deter- mined by the boundary between the bright and dark regions evidently depends upon the angle, A, and refrac- tive index of the glass as well as upon the refractive index of the liquid. If the first two are known the refractive index of any liquid (provided it is less than that of the glass prism) may be found from a measurement of the angle i. (a) Place a sodium flame about 10-15 centimeters from the lens of the refractometer so that it is seen in line with the cylinder on looking through the lens. Fill the cylinder with water. With the slow-motion screw released and starting with the axis of the telescope as nearly vertical as possible raise it slowly while looking in the field for a yellow band of light. When this has been found tighten the slow motion screw and set the inter- section of the cross-hairs on the boundary line between the yellow and the black, remembering that it is the upper edge of the boundary that is determined by the critical angle of the liquid used. Take several readings, moving the telescope so as to approach the boundary line first from one side and then from the other. Note the temperature of the water in the cylinder. To find the angle i which is measured from the normal to the prism face a second reading should be taken before the prism has been disturbed in any way. Set the tele- scope near the zero of the scale, illuminate the Gauss eye- piece using an incandescent lamp set at right angles to the axis of the eyepiece and by means of the slow-motion screw set the image of the cross-hairs (formed by light reflected on the vertical face of the prism) to coincide with the cross-hairs themselves, or, if this is not possible, 32 PULFRICH'S REFRACTOMETER [96 place the centers of the two crosses in the same horizon- tal line. The scale reading in this position subtracted from the reading first taken gives the true value of the angle i, since in the second case the incident and reflected beams coincide and the axis of the telescope is thus normal to the vertical face of the prism. (6) Determine by the method outlined above the angle i for the other liquids furnished, noting the tem- perature in each case. (c) If A be the angle of the prism, n the index of refraction of the glass, and N the index of refraction of the liquid above the glass and the angles i, r 2 , n, be, as indicated in the figure. From the geometry of the figure A = TI + r 2 . (1) For refraction at the critical angle on the boundary liquid-glass we have ~ in n ~jj~ (2) And from the refraction on emergence a third relation sin rj =n (3) Show from these relations that N = sin A \/ n * - sin 1 i cos A sin i (4) If A does not differ from 90 more than 20', a condition fulfilled in this case, then sin A 1, and cos A = very approximately, and the formula then becomes N = \/n 2 - sin*i Using this relation and the tabular values for the refractive index of water at the temperature of your observation calculate the refractive index of the glass prism. From this value of the refractive index of the prism, and the values of the angle observed above calculate the refractive indices of the other liquids. Carry five significant figures throughout all calculations. 97] REFRACTION THROUGH A THIN LENS 33 Thin Lenses. A thin lens is a lens whose thickness may be neglected in comparison with its focal length. In measuring to the lens, the student should measure to the center of a symmetrical lens and to the convex surface of a plano- convex lens. Direct Measurement of the Focal Length of Convex Lenses With Parallel Light. The following simple methods of measuring the focal length of convergent lenses directly with the aid of parallel light will be found convenient in checking results obtained by other methods. 1. Form an image of the sun upon a screen with the lens; the distance between the lens and the screen when the image is most sharply defined is the focal length of the lens. 2. Mount the lens on the optical bench with a plane mirror behind it. Adjust its distance from the object screen (a narrow slit with a cross hair) until an image of the slit is formed on the screen beside the slit. The light between the lens and mirror is then parallel and the distance from the lens to the screen is the focal length of the lens. 3. Focus a telescope accurately for parallel light. Place the lens in front of the objective of the telescope and view through the telescope some fixed mark a narrow slit or a fine point. Adjust the distance between the lens and object until there is no parallax in the field of the telescope. The distance from the lens to the object is the focal length of the lens. 97. REFRACTION THROUGH A SINGLE THIN LENS. Chromatic and Spherical Aberration and Astigmatism. The object of this exercise is to determine the constants (radii of curvature and refractive index) of a single thin lens and to study the phenomena of chromatic and spherical aberration and astigmatism. 34 CHROMATIC ABERRATION [97 The optical bench should be provided with three slides, one to support the object screen, one for the lens holder, and a third for the image screen. One or more cross-hairs across an aperture in the large screen or a piece of wire gauze may serve as object. Constants of the Lens. (a) Place the object screen at one end of the bench, slide the lens somewhat past the middle of the bench and, leaving these two fixed, move the image screen away from the lens until the image seems to be in the same place as the cross-hairs in the eyepiece, tested by seeing that there is no relative motion (absence of parallax) between the two on moving the eye from side to side. Measure the distance of the lens from each screen. Next move the image screen past the position of best definition and ap- proach it again, moving the screen tQward the lens. Meas- ure the distance from the image screen to the lens. The average of the two values obtained for the image distance v with the value of the object distance u, constitute one pair of values for the determination of the focal length. Determine a second pair of values in which u and v are about equal. Take the necessary measurements with the spherom- eter for the calculation of the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces. Chromatic Aberration. (6) Since the focal length of a lens depends upon its index of refraction, which varies for different wave-lengths, it is evident that the value of / determined in (a) will be an average value for the brighter portion of the spectrum of the light used. In order to determine / for two fairly definite regions of the spectrum, first put in front of the 97] SPHERICAL ABERRATION 35 object a piece of red glass, and determine a pair of con- jugate foci. Then replacing the red glass with a piece of blue glass, determine a second pair of conjugate foci for blue light. As neither of the colors are absolutely pure it will not be possible to eliminate parallax entirely. Spherical Aberration. (c) In order to avoid confusing chromatic abberation with spherical aberration, observations must be taken with light which is fairly monochromatic. This is best secured by using the red glass as it transmits a fairly narrow region of the spectrum. Cover the lens with a diaphragm having a one centi- meter central .opening and after locating the image measure the conjugate foci. Make a second determination of the image after the diaphragm has been replaced by one which covers the center of the lens and lets light pass only through the outer portion. Astigmatism. (d) With the red glass still in place and using the diaphragm with central opening rotate the lensholder in its slide 45 degrees about a vertical axis. This will make the wave-front emerging from the lens astigmatic and the definite focus previously obtained will disappear. Bach point of the object will now have two line images but no point image as before. Since the object consists of vertical and horizontal lines there will be one position in which the vertical lines are in focus and another in which the horizontal lines are in focus. 3t> THICK LENSES [98 L/ocate both of these positions for some particular value of u. (e) From the data taken in (a) and (b) calculate the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces, its focal length, and refractive index for red, blue and white light. Defining the difference between the focal length for red light and the focal length for blue light divided by the mean focal length as a measure of the chromatic aberration, calculate its value from your data. From the data taken in (c) determine the difference between the focal length for the center of the lens and for the edge divided by the mean focal length as a measure of the spherical aberration. Illustrate with diagrams, chromatic and spherical aberration and astigmatism. (See figure 8.) 98. THICK LENSES. Principal Points, Nodal Points and Focal Length. The conjugate focal relation l/u + l/v = I//, in which u, v, and / are measured .from the center of the lens, holds only so long as the thickness of the lens may be neglected in comparison with these quantities. For a thick lens, it is possible to select two points on the axis of the lens, so situated that if the object distance U be measured from the one of them, and the image distance V be measured from the other, we obtain* a similar conju- gate focal relation, namely I/ U + l/V = l/F. These two axial points are called the "principal" points of the thick lens. Planes drawn perpendicular to *Proof of this proposition is given in Edser's Light for Students, Chapter VII. 98] PRINCIPAL POINTS AND NODAL POINTS 37 the axis through the principal points are called the principal planes of the lens. It may be shown that the principal planes are planes of unit magnification. As a consequence any ray directed towards a point n in the first principal plane, at a distance x from the axis, will give rise to a transmitted ray proceeding from a point o in the second principal plane, on the same side of the axis at a distance x from it. The graphic determination of images follows readily from the properties of the principal planes (See Figure 14). O Fig. 14. Showing the graphic determination of the image / of an object using the principal planes PI, Pj. There are two other points on the axis of a thick lens which possess important properties. A ray of light directed toward the first of these points on the axis will after refraction by the lens proceed from the second point on the axis in a direction parallel to that of the incident ray. These points are termed the first and second nodal points respectively. When image and object are situated in the same media, for instance a glass lens is used in air, the principal points and the nodal points coincide. The two principal foci, the two principal points, and the two nodal points are the six cardinal points of a thick lens. The characteristic of the nodal points may be made the basis of their determination. If we have a ray ac incident through the first nodal point Ni from a distant 38 PRINCIPAL POINTS AND NODAL POINTS [98 object, it will emerge parallel through N- 2 and cut the screen at C. C will be the image of the point of the object from which ac came. As the object is supposed to be at a great distance its image will be formed in the focal plane. Now suppose the lens system rotated about the second nodal point N 2 , as ac is coming from a great distance, the ray from the same point of the object aci incident through N! will still be practically parallel to ac. Thus the ray that emerges from N 2 has not moved, and the image at C will remain at rest. Any movement of N z , however, will cause C to move also. (See Figure 15a). C Fig. 150 156 15C Finding the nodal points and focal length of a lens system Thus to find the second nodal point N 2 we have to find the point about which rotation of the lens system produces no movement of the image of a distant object. This is easily accomplished experimentally because if the second nodal point N 2 be in front of the axis of rota- tion 0, i. e., too near the screen (Figure 156), then a small counter-clockwise rotation will carry N 2 to A/V and therefore C to C'. If, on the contrary, the second nodal point N 2 is behind the axis, i. e., too far from the screen (Figure 15c), a similar counter-clockwise rotation will take it to A/V' and the image C moves to C" . (a) Place a piano convex lens in the nodal slide at a distance approximately equal to the focal length of the lens, and adjust the plane mirror back of it so that the light from the slide rendered parallel by the lens will 98] PRINCIPAL POINTS AND NODAL POINTS 39 be reflected backwards and form an image of the opening on the white screen in the plane of the slit itself. Using the method outlined above, locate the second nodal point of the lens and measure ' the distance from the center of rotation to the screen. This is the focal length F. Note the position of the lens holder on the nodal slide. Rotate the slide 180, and find the other nodal point, measuring the focal length and noting again the position of the lens holder on the slide. Measure the thickness of the lens with the calipers. . (b) Determine the nodal points and focal length of the combination of a convex and a concave lens separated two or three centimeters. Measure the thickness of each lens used and also the distance apart of the inner surface of the two lenses. (c) From the data taken in (a) find the distance between the nodal points expressed as a decimal part of the thickness of the lens. Draw an enlarged diagram of the lens, and on the axis of the lens show the position of the lens surfaces and the two nodal points. Show in a diagram drawn to scale the results obtained in (b). 40 RESOLVING POWER OF TELESCOPE [99 99. ASTRONOMICAL TELESCOPE. MAGNIFYING POWER. RESOLVING POWER. Magnifying Power of Telescope. Reference. Duff, p. 615; Kimball, p. 653. The magnification produced by a telescope, when focussed on a distant object and adjusted to suit the unaccomodated eye, is equal to the focal length of the objective divided by the focal length of the eyepiece. (a) Remove the objective and determine its focal length by any method you please. (No. 2, page 33, for instance.) (b) To determine the focal length of the eyepiece, first put a micrometer eyepiece on the telescope in place of the objective. Using the eyepiece whose focal length is to be determined as an objective form a magnified image of a standard 0.2 mm. glass scale in the field of the micrometer eyepiece. Measure with the micrometer the dimensions of this image. Now extend the draw tube a measured distance and again measure the image formed. Resolving Power of Telescope. The action of a lens, S, in forming a real image, /, of a point source, O, consists in transforming the spherical waves, such as a b c, diverging from O into spherical waves, such as d e f, converging toward /. From geo- metrical considerations alone we might conclude that the image at I is a point, but the wave theory shows that this cannot be so. 99] RESOLVING POWER OF TELESCOPE 41 To determine the effect at / of the wave, d e f, let us apply Huygens principle and consider the resultant effect as due to wavelets with their centers in the surface d e f. These wavelets will all reach / in the same phase, since it is equidistant from all of them, hence 7 must be a point of maximum brightness. At points outside of I differences of phase will exist, and there must be some point, H, which is on the average a half wave length farther off from the upper half of the surface d e f than it is from the lower half. At that point waves from one half of the surface will interfere with those from the other half and produce complete darkness. But between / and H the interference is only partial and consequently the light intensity must fade off from J to H. Since the light is symmetrical about e I, there must be a little spot of light formed in the image plane having the distance I H as its radius. An optical image is thus essentially a diffraction figure. The height of the curve in Fig. 16(6), is proportional to the intensity of the light in the image plane. It is evident that if we decrease the aperture of the lens the corresponding point H 1 will be farther from / than H, and the intensity curve will be broader, as in Fig. 17 (a). And conversely increasing the aperture will steepen the curve. Consequently if a lens forms an image of two small objects, while the central maximum of each image is fixed by. the .distance 42 RESOLVING POWER OF TELESCOPE [99 between the objects and their distance from the lens, the amount of overlapping of the intensity curves will then depend upon the aperture only. If we use a rectangular aperture with the lens, the conditions for the formation of maxima and minima will correspond to those of a narrow slit. The "limit of resolution" is reached when the first maximum of the image of one object coincides with the first minimum Fig. 17(c) Intensity Curve, Narrow Slit Fig. 17(6) Limit of Resolution. of the other as in Fig. 17(6). From this it may be shown that if d is the distance between two details of an object at a distance D from an aperture whose width parallel to these details is a, they may be distinguished if where X represents the wave-length of the light used. This ratio is called the "resolving power" of the aperture. (c) Illuminate the metal gauze with sodium light and observe it through the telescope, which should have an adjustable slit placed just before its objective. Adjust the width of the slit until the wires parallel with its length may be just distinguished and then measure the 99] RESOLVING POWER OF TELESCOPE 43 width of the slit a with the comparator. The distance D will be measured with sufficient accuracy with the meter rod. For the wave-length, X, consult the tables. The distance d between the centers of the adjacent wires of the gauze may be conveniently determined by measuring the distance occupied by a known number of wires. (d) Letting Wi = Vi/Ui be the magnification of the first image measured in (b), m 2 = v 2 /u 2 the magnification of the second image and d = v 2 -Vi be the extension of the draw tube prove that the focal length of the eyepiece / = d/(m z - Wi). Using your data in (a) and (6) calculate the magni- fying power of the telescope. Calculate the ratio d/D and compare it with the ratio X/a. ._- Explain, using a diagram, the formula given above for the resolving power. 44 THE SPECTROSCOPE [100 100. THE SPECTROSCOPE. Drawing Spectra. Calibration of Spectroscope. The direct vision spectroscope consist of two tubes, H, r, the first contains a slit 5, adjustable by means of a H \L Fig. 18. Direct vision spectroscope. knurled ring K, and protected by means of a glass disk g, placed just in front of it; the second tube movable within the first, carries a short focus lens L, and the direct vision prism P. When adjusted for the unaccomodated eye the lens renders the light from the slit parallel before it enters the prism. A small tube, attached at right angles to the axis of the movable tube contains a scale s, a lens system /, which may be moved along the tube, and an adjustable mirror M, for illuminating the scale. The light from the scale, having been rendered parallel by the lens, is reflected on the slanting end of the prism and reaches the eye at E, with the light which has gone through the prism. To adjust the spectroscope, the lens system /, in front of the scale, should be moved by means of the pin d, until the scale is clearly seen and then the tube containing the prism should be moved in or out until the spectrum is sharply defined and is seen, without parallax, partly overlapping the image of the scale. 100] CALIBRATION OF SPECTROSCOPE 45 The position of lines of a particular wave-length on the spectroscope scale depends not only upon the scale, which is arbitrary, but also upon the dispersion of the glass prism used. Scale readings of a spectroscope must accordingly be put into wave-lengths for purposes of comparison with the values obtained by other methods. Data for a calibration curve consists of a series of scale readings for lines of known wave-length. These should be distributed with some uniformity over the spectrum- Suitable lines may be found in the spectrum of sun- light the "Fraunhofer lines" or in the flame spectra of the light metals. If both sources are available the calibration curve obtained using one may be used to determine the wave-length of the lines in the spectrum of the other. To examine the flame spectra of the light metals. (a) Color the Bunsen flame with the salts furnished and examine their spectra. Note in each case the general color of the flame and the colors of the various bands and lines. To observe successfully the potassium spectrum it will be necessary to open the slit somewhat and insert a piece of cobalt glass between the flame and slit. Remove the light illuminating the slit until the line is seen, then replace the light and take the scale reading. The sodium spectrum will probably be ever present, but it is readily distinguished from that of the salt under examination. Protect the eye from side light, especially when locating the fainter lines. To examine the solar spectrum with the spectroscope. (6) Reflect sunlight so that it falls on the slit, nar- rowing the latter to the width of a fine hair. If the 46 ABSORPTION SPECTRA [100 4aBC D Eb c F d eGg h HK Red, yellow, green, blue. indigo, violet. Fig. 19.

Note the position and color of the principal lines, identify them with the aid of the figure. Some direct vision prisms have a smaller dispersion in the red and much larger dispersion in the extreme violet than here indicated. Absorption Spectra. (c) Draw the spectrum of a luminous flame seen through red, yellow, green, and blue glass. (d) Plot a curve with the scale readings taken in (6) as ordinates, and the corresponding wave-lengths given in the tables as abscissae. From this plot determine the wave-length of the sharpest lines observed in (a). Draw the spectra, observed in (c), upon plotting paper, the spectroscope scale being taken as abscissae and each spectrum occupying a separate horizontal strip about a centimeter high. 101] SPARK SPECTRA OF METALS 47 101. SPARK SPECTRA OF METALS. The spectroscope which has previously been adjusted and calibrated should be used for this exercise. The spark spectra of various metals are to be observed and the wave-length of the lines to be determined from their position on the scale as calibrated. (a) Connect the two electrodes of the metal with the secondary of the induction coil. The storage battery (6-8 volts) should be connected to the primary of the coil. The spark gap should be horizontal and about 1 millimeter in width. Start the coil and observe the spark directly. Describe the change in the appearance of the spark when a Ley den jar is connected in parallel with the secondary of the coil. (b) Leave the Ley den jar connected as in (a). Set the spark gap in front of the slit of the spectroscope and adjust the height of the spark so that the spectrum is seen in the telescope above the illuminated scale. Locate the lines on the scale, tabulating the readings as follows: metal, color, scale reading and wave-length, as read from the calibration curve. After color place a figure 1, 2 or 3, to designate the intensity. The brightest lines being 1. (c) Introduce self-induction into the circuit by con- necting the coil furnished in series with the spark gap. Note the change in the spectrum. By comparing the present spectrum with the readings of (b) make a list of the lines which ha,ve entirely disappeared. A con- venient method of making the comparison is to use a commutator irt making the connections, then by reversing the commutator the self-induction may be thrown in or out. (d) Repeat (b) and(c) with each of the other metals furnished. To what substance do the lines belong which diasppear when self-induction is put into the circuit? 48 NEWTON'S RINGS [102 102. WAVE-LENGTH OF SODIUM LIGHT. Newton's Rings. If a plano-convex lens be placed upon a plane piece of glass, a thin air film will be formed between them. Near the point of contact the thickness of the film will be small compared with the wave-length of light, consequently there will be a circular black spot around the point of contact when this is viewed by reflected light. The air film increases in thickness from the point of contact outwards in every direction, and, since the lower surface of the lens is spherical, points of equal thickness form concentric circles with the point of contact as the center. Using monochromatic light to illuminate the lens and plate, the central black spot will be seen, by reflected light, surrounded by concentric bright circles separated by dark intervals. Interference* has taken place between the light re- flected from the lower sur- face of the lens and that reflected from the glass plate, the optical path of the latter being greater, by twice the thickness of the air film, than that of the first. (a) Use sodium light as a source, placing the burner at the focus of the lens. The plate glass (G) should be set so as to reflect the light downward. (See fig.) If a broad Fig. 18. Arrangement of the apparatus for observing Newton's Rings. "This is a pure interference phenomenon, the difference of phase necessary for the formation of the rings being introduced without violation of any of the laws of geometrical optics. 102] NEWTON'S RINGS 49 flame is used as a source, the lens L, may be dispensed with. Remove the microscope from its holder and focus the eyepiece on the cross-hairs. Adjust the plate glass (G) so that the light reflected downwards, returns to the eye after reflection on the lens and plate at (P). Find the rings, move the microscope holder to get them roughly in the center of the opening, and then insert the microscope, focusing carefully with the aid of the cross- hairs. In the proper position there will be no relative motion of the rings with reference to the cross-hairs on moving the source of light. Take care to prevent lost motion (backlash) by always turning the screw in the same direction when making a setting. Measure the diameter of several rings near the cen- ter, then skip to the tenth, or beyond, and measure sev- eral more, finding the difference in diameter as accurately as possible by repeated measurement of successive rings on one side, then move to the opposite side and repeat the measurements. The lens should not be disturbed during the entire series of observations. (b) Show with the aid of a drawing that if r is the radius of curvature of the lens surface, Di, D 2 , D 3 , D 4 , Dn, the diameters of successive bright rings, counting from the center and X the wave-length of the light used 2r(2n-l] For the (n-f AOth ring, X = - (2) Solving for the numerators in (1) and (2) and taking their difference we have 50 THE GRATING CONSTANT [102-103 This final form gives us an expression for the wave- length which is independent of the actual thickness of the air film at the point of contact. It also shows that the results will be mare accurate the farther apart the rings are whose diameters are used. In what two ways is the difference of phase between the interfering rays produced? (c) Suggest a modification of the experiment by which the center would appear bright instead of dark by reflected light. (d) From the known value of r and your data, calcu- late the value of the wave-length of sodium light. Find the mean error in per cent in your result. Using the average value for the wave-length obtained in (d) calculate the actual thickness of the air film having the same diameter as the third bright ring, assuming the lens and plate in actual contact. 103. THE DIFFRACTION GRATING. The Grating Constant. Reference Edser, Light for Students, p. 452. A monochromatic light is required. For this purpose use a Bunsen burner specially arranged to give a strong flat sodium flame. Set in front of this the screen with its plane vertical and the slits horizontal. In use, the light is allowed to shine through one slit on each side of the central vertical line of the screen. The grating is mounted in a slide on the optical bench, with the ruled surface toward the screen and the lines parallel to the slits. On looking at the slits through the grating, a series of diffracted images of each slit is seen. The two sets of images move relatively to each other as 103] THE GRATING CONSTANT 51 the grating is moved back and forth. A position of the grating may be found for which one of the images in one set appears to form a continuous line with one in the other set. If the lines do not quite meet, it is evident that the lines of the grating are not quite parallel to the slits. (a) Using the two slits which are closer together, set the grating so that the first image of one slit coincides in the way above indicated, with the first image of the other slit, at the point half-way between the two slits. Make a number of settings and for the mean of these settings determine the distance of the ruled surface of the grating from the screen. (b) Repeat (a), using the second diffracted image of each slit, instead of the first. (c) Repeat (a) and (6) for the pair of slits which are wider apart. (d) Measure the distance between the slits. Deter- mine the mean distance from measurements on the edges taking a number of readings for each distance. (e) Explain the formation of both the second and fifth diffracted images in the final position .secured in (b) with the aid of a drawing, lettered like the figure given. Are the images real or virtual? Derive an expression for Fig. 19. Determination of the Grating Constant using two slits. 52 MEASUREMENT OF WAVE-LENGTH [103-104 the distance apart of the lines of the grating the grat- ing constant, in terms of the wave-length of the light used, the distance from the screen to the grating and the distance between the slits. (/) Assuming the wave-length of sodium light to be 0.00005893 cm., calculate the grating constant. 104. MEASUREMENT OF WAVE-LENGTH. With Spectrometer and Grating. The telescope and collimator should be focused for parallel light. (See directions Bxp. 94.) Mount the grating on the table of the spectrometer, with the lines vertical. To set the grating perpendicular to the collimator clamp the telescope at an angle of 90 with the collimator, then, loosening the table rotate it until the slit is seen by light reflected from the face of the grating. Noting this position, move the table through 45 and the grating will be perpendicular to the collimator. In case the mounting of the grating does not permit the use of the 'above method, find, by trial, a position of the grating such that the deviation for the spectrum of the first order is the same on both sides, within half a degree. This may be done without reading the vernier, the accurate determinations of the angle being made later. (ai) Work this or the following section. Determine the wave-length of the principal lines in the spectrum* of the salts furnished. Take observations both to the right and the left for as many orders as permit of accurate measurements. Arrange the data in tabular form, giving *The most satisfactory method of securing a spectrum of great intensity is to use a carbon arc, fed with salts, a separate pair of carbons being used for each salt. 104-105] REFLECTION ON TRANSPARENT SUBSTANCES 53 for each metal the color of the lines and the average values for the wave-length. (a 2 ) Determine the wave-length of the two ")" lines of the sodium flame. (b) Show with the aid of a diagram, the relation which exists between the wave-length of the light used, the grating constant, and the angular distance of the spectra of the first, second, and third orders, measured from the image of the slit seen direct. The constant of the grating used will be furnished. 105. REFLECTION OF LIGHT ON TRANSPARENT SUBSTANCES. As a source of light use the flame of a candle, or better, a sodium flame, if available, against a dark background. The reflecting surface is glass, the back surface of which has been blackened; an over-exposed photographic plate works well when black glass is not to be had. I. To examine the light coming direct from the flame. (a) Place the flame between the two reflectors with the flame at the same height as the axis of rotation of the plate. Find the image of the flame in the glass; rotate the glass about the incident light as an axis. Do you note any change in the intensity of the flame? Change the angle of incidence by shifting the flame. If you detect any change in the intensity of the flame as the reflecting surface is rotated to what may it be due? Diagram the apparatus as arranged and make a state- ment covering your observation. II. To examine the light from the flame after one re- flection on glass. (b) Use two reflecting surfaces having the second movable about the incident ray. Place the flame so that 54 REFLECTION ON TRANSPARENT SUBSTANCES [105 it may be seen in surface 2, the light being first reflected on surface 1. Examine the image as surface 2 is rotated. Diagram the apparatus as now arranged. In case you observe no appreciable change in either (a) or (6) repeat both with different angles of incidence. If you note a change in the intensity of the flame, try to increase this change by varying successively the angle of incidence of the light on the first surface and then by rotating the second surface. In case repeated trials fail to show any difference, rest the eyes for a few minutes and avoid looking at any bright light while making a new trial; do not look at the flame except by reflection. Ask for assistance in case your efforts are not successful. If you find that light once reflected behaves differently from light coming directly from the source, make the two planes of incidence coincide and describe the change in the appearance of the flame as the second surface is rotated from this initial position. (c) Diagram the apparatus as arranged to show a maximum of the observed effect, indicating the planes of incidence of the light on the two 'surfaces. Formulate the results of your observation so as to cover the follow- ing points. 1. This phenomenon has been called the "polarization" of light by reflection. From this experiment alone what meaning would be attached to the word "polarized" in the phrase "the light reflected from the first piece of glass is polarized?" To what conception of the effect of reflection upon the incident light do we owe this word? 2. How many times does the change observed occur in one complete revolution of the second plate? 3. State a position of surface 2 with reference to sur- face 1, such that turning an equal number of degrees to 105] BREWSTER'S LAW 55 the right or to the left produces the same effect. The beam is evidently symmetrical about such a position. Planes of symmetry are often taken as reference planes. Find a second plane of symmetry stating the angle which it makes with the first. The plane of symmetry (with reference to the changes in intensity} in which the light is most plentifully reflected is called the plane of polarization. 4. Would the phenomenon observed be possible if light were wholly a longitudinal disturbance of the ether? How much does this experiment tell you about the direction of the displacement in the wave front? Suggestions for Further Work. Brewster's Law. Set the two plates for complete extinction of the light and then with a couple of meter rods determine the angle of incidence for the light striking the first plate of glass. State the relation which Brewster showed exists between the angle of incidence and the refractive index of the substance. Nicol's Polarizing Prism. Ex- amine the model of a Nicol prism and describe its construction briefly, using a diagram.
