In Figure 1.1(a), the restoring force is given by:

F = −mg sinθ 
By substitution of relation sinθ = x l into the above equation, we have: 
F = −mg x l 
so the stiffness is given by: 
s = − F x = mg l 
so we have the frequency given by: 
ω2 = s m = g l 
Since θ is a very small angle, i.e. θ = sinθ = x l , or x = lθ , we have the restoring force 
given by: 
F = −mgθ 
Now, the equation of motion using angular displacement θ can by derived from Newton’s 
second law: 
F = m&x& 
i.e. −mgθ = mlθ&& 
&& g 
i.e. θ + θ = 0 
l 
which shows the frequency is given by: 
ω 2 = g l 
In Figure 1.1(b), restoring couple is given by −Cθ , which has relation to moment of inertia I 
given by: 
−Cθ = Iθ&& 
&& C 
i.e. θ + θ = 0 
I 
which shows the frequency is given by: 
ω2 = C I
In Figure 1.1(d), the restoring force is given by:

F = −2T x l 
so Newton’s second law gives: 
F = m&x& = −2Tx l 
i.e. &x&+ 2Tx lm = 0 
which shows the frequency is given by: 
ω2 = 2T 
lm 
In Figure 1.1(e), the displacement for liquid with a height of x has a displacement of x 2 and 
a mass of ρAx , so the stiffness is given by:

&x& g 
i.e. + 2 x = 0 
l 
which show the frequency is given by: 
ω 2 = 2g l 
In Figure 1.1(f), by taking logarithms of equation pVγ = constant , we have: 
ln p +γ lnV = constant 
dV 
dp γ 
so we have: + = 0 
V

i.e. 
dp = −γp dV

The change of volume is given by dV = Ax , so we have: 
dp = −γp Ax

Write solution x = a cos(ωt +φ ) in form: x = a cosφ cosωt − asinφ sinωt and 
compare with equation (1.2) we find: A = a cosφ and B = −asinφ . We can also 
find, with the same analysis, that the values of A and B for solution 
x = asin(ωt −φ ) are given by: A = −asinφ and B = acosφ , and for solution 
x = acos(ωt −φ ) are given by: A = a cosφ and B = asinφ . 
Try solution x = a cos(ωt +φ ) in expression &x&+ω 2x , we have: 
&x&+ω 2x = −aω 2 cos(ωt +φ ) +ω2a cos(ωt +φ ) = 0 
Try solution x = asin(ωt −φ ) in expression &x&+ω 2x , we have: 
&x&+ω 2x = −aω2 sin(ωt −φ ) +ω 2asin(ωt −φ ) = 0 
Try solution x = a cos(ωt −φ ) in expression &x&+ω 2x , we have: 
&x&+ω 2x = −aω 2 cos(ωt −φ ) +ω2a cos(ωt −φ ) = 0

i.e. φ =π 2 . When the pendulum swings to the position x = + a 2 for the first 
time after release, the value of ωt is the minimum solution of equation

If the solution x = acos(ωt +φ ) satisfies x = −a at t = 0 , then, 
x = a cosφ = −a i.e. φ =π . When the pendulum swings to the position 
x = + a 2 for the first time after release, the value of ωt is the minimum

(a) If the mass m is displaced a distance of x from its equilibrium position, either 
the upper or the lower string has an extension of x 2 . So, the restoring force of 
the mass is given by: F = −sx 2 and the stiffness of the system is given by: 
s′ = −F x = s 2 . Hence the frequency is given by s m s m a ω2 = ′ = 2 . 
(b) The frequency of the system is given by: s m b ω2 = 
(c) If the mass m is displaced a distance of x from its equilibrium position, the 
restoring force of the mass is given by: F = −sx − sx = −2sx and the stiffness of 
the system is given by: s′ = −F x = 2s . Hence the frequency is given by 
s m s m c ω2 = ′ =2 . 
Therefore, we have the relation: 2 : 2 : 2 = s 2m: s m: 2s m = 1: 2 : 4 a b c ω ω ω

The equation of this simple harmonic motion can be written as: x = asin(ωt +φ ) . 
The time spent in moving from x to x + dx is given by: t dt = dx v , where t v is 
the velocity of the particle at time t and is given by: v = x = aω cos(ωt +φ ) t & .
Noting that the particle will appear twice between x and x + dx within one period 
of oscillation. We have the probability η of finding it between x to x + dx given 
by:

Since the displacements of the equally spaced oscillators in y direction is a sine 
curve, the phase difference δφ between two oscillators a distance x apart given is 
proportional to the phase difference 2π between two oscillators a distance λ apart 
by: δφ 2π = x λ , i.e. δφ = 2πx λ . 
1.9 
The mass loses contact with the platform when the system is moving downwards and 
the acceleration of the platform equals the acceleration of gravity. The acceleration of 
a simple harmonic vibration can be written as: a = Aω 2 sin(ωt +φ ) , where A is the 
amplitude, ω is the angular frequency and φ is the initial phase. So we have: 
Aω 2 sin(ωt +φ ) = g 
i.e. 
ω 2 sin(ω +φ )

The mass of the element dy is given by: m′ = mdy l . The velocity of an element 
dy of its length is proportional to its distance y from the fixed end of the spring, and 
is given by: v′ = yv l . where v is the velocity of the element at the other end of the 
spring, i.e. the velocity of the suspended mass M . Hence we have the kinetic energy

we have the equation:

solve the above equation, we get:

As the string is shortened work is done against: (a) gravity (mg cosθ ) and (b) the centrifugal 
force (mv2 r = mlθ&2 ) along the time of shortening. Assume that during shortening there are
many swings of constant amplitude so work done is: 
© 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd 
A = −(mgcosθ + mlθ&2 )Δl 
where the bar denotes the average value. For small θ , cosθ =1−θ 2 2 so: 
A = −mgΔl + (mgθ 2 2 −mlθ&2 ) 
The term −mgΔl is the elevation of the equilibrium position and does not affect the energy of 
motion so the energy change is: 
ΔE = (mgθ 2 2 −mlθ&2 )Δl 
Now the pendulum motion has energy: 
E = ml2θ&2 + mgl (1 − cos θ )

becomes:

Considering an electron in an atom as a lightly damped simple harmonic oscillator, 
we know its resonance absorption bandwidth is given by: 
δω = r (3.16.1) 
m 
On the other hand, the relation between frequency and wavelength of light is given 
by: 
f = c (3.16.2)

where, c is speed of light in vacuum. From (3.16.2) we find at frequency resonance: 
f = − c 
δ 20 
δλ 
λ 
where 0 λ 
is the wavelength at frequency resonance. Then, the relation between 
angular frequency bandwidth δω and the width of spectral line δλ is given by:

Suppose the displacement of mass M is x , the displacement of mass m is y , 
and the tension of the spring is T . Equations of motion give:

Eliminating T , we have:

cos ( ) 0 M&x&+ kx = F ωt + s y − x 
so for x = 0 at all times, we have 
cos 0 0 F ωt + sy = 
that is 
y = − F0 cosω

Equation (4.11.2) and (4.11.3) now give: 
m&y&+ sy = 0 
with ω 2 = s m , so M is stationary at ω 2 = s m . 
This value of ω satisfies all equations of motion for x = 0 including

They are both “anti-phase” with respect to the mass M . The ratio of amplitude 
between the mass m and M is M 2m.

In understanding the motion of the masses it is more instructive to consider the range 
n 2 ≤ j ≤ n . For each value of the frequency j ω 
the amplitude of the rth mass is 
1 
sin 
+ 
= 
n 
π 
where C is a constant. For j = n 2 adjacent masses have a π 2 
phase difference, so the ratios: : : 1: 0 :1 1 1 = − r− r r+ A A A , with the rth masses 
stationary and the amplitude r−1 A anti-phase with respect to r+1 A , so that: 
2j ω 
As n 2→n , A begins to move, the coupling between masses tightens and when 
r j is close to n each mass is anti-phase with respect to its neighbour, the amplitude 
of each mass decreases until in the limit j = n no motion is transmitted as the cut off 
frequency ω 2 = 4 T ma is reached. The end points are fixed and this restricts the 
j motion of the masses near the end points at all frequencies except the lowest.

This problem is not viable in its present form and it will be revised in the next printing. The first 
part in the zero reflected amplitude may be solved by replacing Z3 by Z1, which then equates r 
with R′ because each is a reflection at a 1 2 Z Z boundary. We then have the total reflected 
amplitude as:

Stokes’ relations show that the incident amplitude may be reconstructed by reversing the paths of 
the transmitted and reflected amplitudes. 
T is transmitted back along the incident direction as tT in 1 Z and is reflected as TR′ in 
2 Z . 
R is reflected in 1 Z as (R)R = R2 back along the incident direction and is refracted as TR 
in the TR′ direction in 2 Z . 
We therefore have tT + R2 = 1 in 1 Z , i.e. tT = 1− R2 and T(R + R′) = 0 in 2 Z giving 
R = −R′ , ∴tT = 1− R2 = 1− R′2 giving the total reflected amplitude in 1 Z as R + R′ = 0 
with R = −R′ .

The fluid is incompressible so that during the wave motion there is no change in the volume of the 
fluid element of height h , horizontal length Δx and unit width. The distortion η in the 
element Δx is therefore directly translated to a change in its height h and its constant volume 
requires that: 
hΔx = (h +α )(Δx + Δη ) = hΔx + hΔη +αΔx +αΔη 
Because α << h and Δη << Δx , the second order term αΔη is ignorable, we then have 
α = −hΔη Δx = −h∂η ∂x , and from now on we replace Δx by dx . 
We see that for α + ve (or increase in height), we have ∂η ∂x − ve , that is, a compression. 
On page 153 of the text, the horizontal motion of the element is shown to be due to the difference 
in forces acting on the opposing faces of the element hΔx , that is:

where the pressure must be averaged over the height of the element because it varies with the 
liquid depth. This average value is found from the pressure difference (to unit depth) at the liquid 
surface to between the two values of α on the opposing faces of the element. This gives:

Fig Q.7.2.1 
2a 
A pair of parallel wires of circular cross section and radius a are separated at a distance 2d 
between their centres. 
To find the inductance per unit length we close the circuit by joining the sides of a section of 
length l . 
The self inductance of this circuit is the magnetic flux through the circuit when a current of 1 amp 
flows around it. 
If the current is 1 amp the field outside the wire at a distance r from the centre is μ I 2πr 0 , 
where 0 μ 
is the permeability of free space. For a clockwise current in the circuit (Fig Q.7.2.1) 
both wires contribute to the magnetic flux B which points downwards into the page and the total 
flux through the circuit is given by:

To find the capacitance per unit length of such a pair of wires we first find the electrostatic 
potential at a distance r from a single wire and proceed to find the potential from a pair of wires 
via the principle of electrostatic images. 
If the radius of the wire is a and it carries a charge of λ per unit length then the electrostatic 
flux E per unit length of the cylindrical surface is: 0 2πrE(r) = λ ε , where 0 ε is the 
permittivity of free space. Thus E r r 0 ( ) = λ 2πε for r > a and we have the potential:

The conducting wires are now represented in the image system of Fig Q.7.2.2. The equipotential 
surfaces will be seen to be cylindrical but not coaxial with the wires. Neither the electric field nor 
the charge density is uniform on the conducting surface. 
The surface charge is collapsed onto two line carrying charges ±λ per unit length. The y axis 
represents an equipotential plane. 
The conducting wires, of radius a , are centred a distance d from the origin ο (x = y = 0) . 
The distances ± p can be chosen of the line charges so that the conducting surfaces lie on the 
equipotentials of the image charge. Choosing the potential to be zero at ∞ on the y axis, the 
potential at point p in the xy plane is given by:

For a real transmission line with a propagation constant γ , the forward current wave x+ I at 
position x is given by: 
x x 
I = I e−γ = Ae−γ 
x + 0 
+ where I = A 0+ is the forward current wave at position x = 0. So the forward voltage wave at 
position x is given by: 
x 
V = Z I = Z Ae−γ 
x + 0 x + 0 
The backward current wave x− I at position x is given by: 
x x 
I = I e+γ = Be+γ 
x − 0 
− where I = B 0− is the backward current wave at position x = 0. So the backward voltage wave 
at position x is given by:

The magnitude of Poynting vector on the surface of the wire can be calculated by 
deriving the electric and magnetic fields respectively. 
The vector of magnetic field on the surface of the cylindrical wire points towards the 
azimuthal direction, and its magnitude is given by Ampere’s Law: 
H e e 
θ θ θ π 
r 
H I 
2 
= = 
where r is the radius of the wire’s cross circular section, and I is the current in the 
wire. 
Ohm’s Law, J =σE , shows the vector of electric field on the surface of the 
cylindrical wire points towards the current’s direction, and its magnitude equals the 
voltage drop per unit length, i.e.: 
E = E e = V e = IR 
e 
z z l 
z l z 
where, l is the length of the wire, and the V is the voltage drop along the whole 
length of the wire and is given by Ohm’s Law: V = IR, where R is the resistance of 
the wire. 
Hence, the Poynting vector on the surface of the wire points towards the axis of the 
wire is given by: 
z z z r S E H E e H e E H e θ θ θ = × = × = − 
which shows the Poynting vector on the surface of the wire points towards the axis of 
the wire, which corresponds to the flow of energy into the wire from surrounding 
space. The product of its magnitude and the surface area of the wire is given by:

By relating Poynting vector to magnetic energy, we first need to derive the magnitude 
of Poynting vector in terms of magnetic field. 
The electric field on the inner surface of the solenoid can be derived from the integral 
format of Faraday’s Law: 
Edl ∂ 
μ H 
∫ ∫∂ 
= − dS 
t 
where S is the area of the solenoid’s cross section. E is the electric field on the 
inner surface of the solenoid, and H is the magnetic field inside the solenoid. 
For a long uniformly wound solenoid the electric field uniformly points towards 
azimuthal direction, i.e. θ θ E = E e , and the magnetic field inside the solenoid
uniformly points along the axis direction, i.e. z z H = H e . So the above equation 
becomes 
S = E H = E E = E = ε E =

The surface current in the strip is given by:

where Q is surface charge per unit area on the strip and is given by: x Q =εE , and

SOLUTIONS TO CHAPTER 10 
10.1 
The wave form in the upper figure has an average value of zero and is an odd function 
of time, so its Fourier series has a constant of zero and only sine terms. Since the 
wave form is constant over its half period, the Fourier coefficient n b will be zero if 
n is even, i.e. there are only odd harmonics and the harmonics range from 1,3,5 to 
infinity. 
The wave form in the lower figure has a positive average value and is a even function 
of time, so its Fourier series has a constant of positive value and only cosine terms. 
Since τ T ≠ 1 2 , there are both odd and even harmonics. The harmonics range from 
1,2,3 to infinity. 
10.2 
Such a periodic waveform should satisfy: f (x) = − f (x −T 2) , where T is the

Referring to pages 46 and 47 of the text, and in particular to the example of the 
radiating atom, we see that the energy of the damped simple harmonic motion: 
1 
0 0 
, the period for which the atom radiates 
0 before cut off at 0 ω 
ω 
e−1 . 
The length of the wave train radiated by the atom is l = ct where c is the velocity 
of light and l is the coherence length which contains Q radians. 
Since the coherence length is finite the radiation cannot be represented by a single 
angular frequency but by a bandwidth Δω centred about . 
Now =ω Δω 0 Q so ω = =1 Δω 0 Q t . Writing t = Δt we have ΔωΔt =1 or 
ΔνΔt =1 2π . 
The bandwidth effect on the spectral line is increased in a gas of radiating atoms at 
temperature T . Collisions between the atoms shorten the coherence length and the 
Doppler effect from atomic thermal velocities adds to Δν .

Choosing the distance PF = λ 2 then, for the path difference BF − BF′ , the phase 
difference is π radians. 
Similarly for the path difference AF′ − AF the phase difference is π radians. 
Thus for the path difference AF′ − BF′ the phase difference is 2π radians and the 
resulting amplitude of the secondary waves is zero.

Noting that a healthy eye has a range of accommodation of 4 dioptres, he needs 
spectacles of power: 
P = 4 − 2.5 = 1.5[dioptres] 
If anther man is unable to focus at distance greater than 2m, his eye’s minimum 
accommodation is: 
0.5[dioptres] 
1 = 
2 
Therefore, he needs diverging spectacles with a power of -0.5 dioptres for clear image 
of infinite distance.

When the objects O and O′ are just resolved at I and I′ the principal 
maximum of O and the first minimum of O′ are located at I . Rayleigh’s criterion 
thus defines the path difference: 
O′BI −O′AI = O′B −O′A = 1.22λ (BI = AI) 
Also OB = OA giving 
(O′B −OB) + (OA−O′A) = 1.22λ 
Fig.Q.12.14 shows OA parallel to O′A and OB parallel to O′B , so: 
OA−O′A = O′C = OO′sin i = s sin i 
and 
O′B −OB = O′C′ = OO′sin i = s sin i

c to 0, the radiation pressure should equal the energy density of the incident wave, i.e.:

d = log 4 =

The Hausdorff–Besicovitch definition uses a scaling process for both integral and 
fractal dimensions to produce the relation: 
c = ad 
where c is the number of copies(including the original) produced when a shape of 
dimensions d has its side length increased by a factor a . 
Thus, for a = 2 
(i) a line d = 1 has c = 2 
(ii) a square d = 2 has c = 4 
(iii) a cube d = 3 has c = 8 
(iv) an equilateral triangle with a horizontal base produces 3 copies to give

They are both “anti-phase” with respect to the mass M . The ratio of amplitude between the mass m and M is M 2m. 4.20 In understanding the motion of the masses it is more instructive to consider the range n 2 ≤ j ≤ n . For each value of the frequency j ω the amplitude of the rth mass is 1 sin + = n π where C is a constant. For j = n 2 adjacent masses have a π 2 phase difference, so the ratios: : : 1: 0 :1 1 1 = − r− r r+ A A A , with the rth masses stationary and the amplitude r−1 A anti-phase with respect to r+1 A , so that: 2j ω As n 2→n , A begins to move, the coupling between masses tightens and when r j is close to n each mass is anti-phase with respect to its neighbour, the amplitude of each mass decreases until in the limit j = n no motion is transmitted as the cut off frequency ω 2 = 4 T ma is reached. The end points are fixed and this restricts the j motion of the masses near the end points at all frequencies except the lowest. 4.21 By expansion of the expression of , we have: →0 r A j →n r+1 A r−1 A r A j = n 2

We then have the total reflected amplitude as: 2 R tTR R 2 R 4 R tTR 1 (1 ) − ′ R ′ + ′ + ′ + ′ +L = + Stokes’ relations show that the incident amplitude may be reconstructed by reversing the paths of the transmitted and reflected amplitudes.

R is reflected in 1 Z as (R)R = R2 back along the incident direction and is refracted as TR in the TR′ direction in 2 Z .

The distortion η in the element Δx is therefore directly translated to a change in its height h and its constant volume requires that: hΔx = (h +α )(Δx + Δη ) = hΔx + hΔη +αΔx +αΔη Because α << h and Δη << Δx , the second order term αΔη is ignorable, we then have α = −hΔη Δx = −h∂η ∂x , and from now on we replace Δx by dx . We see that for α + ve (or increase in height), we have ∂η ∂x − ve , that is, a compression. On page 153 of the text, the horizontal motion of the element is shown to be due to the difference in forces acting on the opposing faces of the element hΔx , that is: F Δ x ∂ − 2 t x h x ∂ ∂ Δ = ∂ 2η ρ where the force difference, dF is − ve when measured in the + ve x direction for a compression. Thus: F av dx h P t dx x ∂ − 2 dx h x ∂ ∂ = − ∂ ∂ = ∂ 2η ρ (6.16.1) where the pressure must be averaged over the height of the element because it varies with the liquid depth.

If the current is 1 amp the field outside the wire at a distance r from the centre is μ I 2πr 0 , where 0 μ is the permeability of free space. For a clockwise current in the circuit (Fig Q.7.2.1) both wires contribute to the magnetic flux B which points downwards into the page and the total flux through the circuit is given by: ∫ − ⎞ ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ r 2 π π for d >> a Hence the self inductance per unit length is: ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ a μ To find the capacitance per unit length of such a pair of wires we first find the electrostatic potential at a distance r from a single wire and proceed to find the potential from a pair of wires via the principle of electrostatic images. If the radius of the wire is a and it carries a charge of λ per unit length then the electrostatic flux E per unit length of the cylindrical surface is: 0 2πrE(r) = λ ε , where 0 ε is the permittivity of free space. Thus E r r 0 ( ) = λ 2πε for r > a and we have the potential:

    SOLUTIONS TO CHAPTER10 10.1 The wave form in the upper figure has an average value of zero and is an odd function of time, so its Fourier series has a constant of zero and only sine terms. Since the wave form is constant over its half period, the Fourier coefficient n b will be zero if n is even, i.e. there are only odd harmonics and the harmonics range from 1,3,5 to infinity. The wave form in the lower figure has a positive average value and is a even function of time, so its Fourier series has a constant of positive value and only cosine terms. Since τ T ≠ 1 2 , there are both odd and even harmonics. The harmonics range from 1,2,3 to infinity. 10.2 Such a periodic waveform should satisfy: f (x) = − f (x −T 2) , where T is the period of the waveform.
