This document discusses Newton's rings, an optical phenomenon where alternating bright and dark concentric rings are formed due to interference of light. Newton's rings are created by the reflection of light between two surfaces - a spherical surface and an adjacent flat surface. The document explains how the interference fringes form and provides the formula to calculate the radius of the bright rings based on variables like ring number, radius of curvature and wavelength of light.

This document summarizes an experiment on interference fringes using a sodium lamp as a monochromatic light source. Rays from the source were reflected through a plano convex lens and formed circular interference patterns known as Newton's rings on the glass surface. The width of the fringes could be measured using a traveling microscope and used to calculate the wavelength of light from the sodium lamp through a formula accounting for the air gap between the lens and glass surface. The circular fringes resulted from the plano-convex lens shaping the light waves into concentric rings.
This document compares and contrasts linear and nonlinear optics. In linear optics, light propagates through a medium without changing frequency, while in nonlinear optics the medium's response depends on light intensity. Nonlinear optics involves effects where the induced polarization in a medium does not linearly depend on the electric field of the light. This allows frequency conversion via processes like second harmonic generation and sum frequency generation. Materials can exhibit a nonlinear refractive index, leading to self-focusing or defocusing of high intensity light beams. Nonlinear optical effects enable applications like frequency conversion, optical limiting, and all-optical signal processing.
Newton's rings are an interference pattern caused when monochromatic light reflects off a spherical surface, like a lens, and an adjacent flat surface, like a glass sheet. This forms a thin air film between the surfaces that varies in thickness. At points of constructive interference, bright rings appear; at points of destructive interference, dark rings appear. The spacing between the rings gets smaller further from the center. The formula for the radius of the nth bright ring is derived from considering the optical path difference between light reflecting off the two surfaces.

POLARIZATION
Polarization is a property of waves that can oscillate with more than one orientation.
Electromagnetic waves such as light exhibit polarization, as do some other types of wave, such as gravitational waves.
Sound waves in a gas or liquid do not exhibit polarization, since the oscillation is always in the direction the wave travels.

It also describes setups for determining the diameter of a wire using diffraction in the shadow region phenomenon and measuring the length of a rod to remove bench errors. The key components are identified as the biprism, which splits the light source into two virtual sources, and the relationship that the wavelength can be determined from measurements of the fringe width, distance between virtual sources, and distance from the slit to the eyepiece.
This document describes a physics experiment to determine the wavelength of sodium light using Newton's rings. The experiment uses a plano-convex lens, sodium lamp, glass plate, and traveling microscope to create interference fringes known as Newton's rings. Measurements of the ring radii are taken and used in the formula λ = (D2n+m-D2n)/ 4Rp to calculate the wavelength, where λ is 542.036 angstroms. Precautions are outlined to ensure accurate measurements and reduce error in the experiment.
The document discusses the principles of light propagation in optical fibers, including total internal reflection. It explains that total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a higher density medium to a lower density medium at an angle greater than the critical angle. This causes the light ray to reflect back into the first medium rather than refracting into the second. Total internal reflection is the mechanism that allows light to propagate along the length of an optical fiber with little loss of intensity.
Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is a method for growing thin films one layer at a time under ultra-high vacuum conditions. It involves heating solid sources of material in effusion cells to create molecular beams that are deposited on a heated substrate. The absence of carrier gases and ultra-high vacuum environment result in films of the highest purity. MBE is widely used to manufacture semiconductor devices and is considered a fundamental tool for nanotechnology development due to its precise control over layer thickness down to a single atomic layer.
Nonlinear optics involves intense light interacting with matter to change the light's properties. This allows generating new frequencies of light from the input light. Second harmonic generation produces light with twice the frequency by combining two photons. High harmonic generation using intense lasers can generate coherent x-rays. Phase matching is important for high conversion efficiency in nonlinear optical processes. Applications include optical switching, data storage, and generating coherent x-rays for attosecond science.
The document summarizes the history and development of lasers from theoretical foundations laid by Planck and Einstein in the early 20th century through key innovations and applications from the 1950s onward.

This document defines electro-optic effects and describes how an external electric field can induce changes in the refractive index of a material, modulating its optical properties. It discusses the Pockels effect specifically, where a linear change in refractive index occurs due to an applied electric field. This effect can be used to build integrated optical modulators and switches, such as a transverse Pockels cell that inserts a phase difference between orthogonal field components, acting as a polarization modulator. The phase difference can be converted to an intensity variation using an interferometer such as a Mach-Zehnder configuration.
Physical vapor deposition (PVD) involves evaporating or sputtering material in vacuum chambers to form thin films or coatings on surfaces. Different PVD techniques include evaporative deposition using resistive heating or electron beams, sputter deposition using plasma or ion beams, and pulsed laser deposition. PVD is commonly used for circuit fabrication, aerospace coatings, and optics due to its ability to deposit thin, uniform coatings of various materials at high temperatures and precise thicknesses. Some advantages of PVD include producing environmentally friendly coatings without requiring post-deposition treatments, while disadvantages include high energy and vacuum requirements.
The document discusses various types of surface defects that can occur in crystals, including external surfaces, grain boundaries, tilt boundaries, twist boundaries, twin boundaries, and stacking faults. External surfaces have unsatisfied atomic bonds and higher surface energy than bulk atoms. Grain boundaries are regions between two adjacent grains that are slightly disordered with low density and high mobility. Tilt boundaries appear as arrays of edge dislocations when grains are misaligned with a parallel rotation axis. Twist boundaries have a perpendicular rotation axis and form as arrays of screw dislocations for low angle grain boundaries. Twin boundaries are mirror images of atomic arrangements across the boundary formed by shear deformation. Stacking faults are imperfections in the stacking sequence of atomic planes in crystals.
There are three main types of polarization: plane, circular, and elliptical. Plane polarization occurs when light vibrates in a single plane, and can be produced through reflection, refraction, double refraction, scattering, or selective absorption. Circular polarization results from two plane waves that are 90 degrees out of phase. Elliptical polarization is when the electric field vector traces out an ellipse as the light propagates.

It then describes the experimental procedure which involves passing plane polarized light through a quaterwaveplate and analyzing the emerging light with a rotating analyzer to observe no change in intensity, indicating circular polarization. The document concludes by stating the key result is that a quaterwaveplate converts plane polarized light to circularly polarized light when the optic axis is at 45 degrees to the plane of polarization.

This document describes Newton's rings experiment. When a plano-convex lens is placed on a glass plate, it forms a wedge-shaped air film between them whose thickness increases outward from the point of contact. Light incident on this film produces concentric alternating bright and dark rings when viewed through a microscope. The interference is caused by the path difference between light rays partially transmitted through the upper and lower surfaces of the air film. The diameters of the rings are directly proportional to the thickness of the air film. The central spot is dark due to destructive interference when the path difference is half the wavelength of light.

This document describes Newton's rings experiment to determine the wavelength of sodium light. When a spherical glass surface is placed on a flat surface, interference patterns of concentric bright and dark rings are formed due to the varying thickness of the air gap between the surfaces. By measuring the diameter of different rings and using the known radius of curvature, the wavelength can be calculated using an interference equation. The experiment involves using a monochromatic light source to illuminate the surfaces and observing the ring patterns under a microscope to measure ring diameters and calculate the wavelength.
The index of refraction of air is approximately 1. The Brewster's angle θB is given by tanθB = n2/n1.
Plugging in the values given, we get:
tanθB = 1.52/1
θB = arctan(1.52) = 56.3°
Therefore, the Brewster's angle when the glass plate (n2 = 1.52) is in air (n1 = 1) is 56.3°.

tanθB = 1.52/1

This document describes an experiment to observe the diffraction of light passing through a thin slit formed between the sharp edges of two razor blades. Laser light is shone through the slit and the diffraction pattern of light bands formed on a screen is observed. The diffraction occurs because the size of the slit is comparable to the wavelength of light, causing the light to bend as it passes through. Multiple orders of diffraction bands are visible, with decreasing intensity as the angle increases, demonstrating the phenomenon of light diffraction through a narrow aperture.
Francesco Grimaldi first observed the diffraction of light in the 17th century when he passed light through small apertures and noticed colored fringes. Thomas Young provided experimental evidence for the wave theory of light through diffraction experiments in the early 1800s. The student performed several diffraction experiments using various materials like hair strands and TEM grids as slits and apertures. Measurements of the diffraction patterns were used to calculate the thickness of a hair strand as 68 micrometers and the pitch of a TEM grid as 124 micrometers.
Michelson's interferometer uses the principle of division of amplitude to create interference fringes. Light from a source is split into two beams using a half-silvered beam splitter. The beams travel different paths and reflect off mirrors before recombining, creating an interference pattern of fringes. The shape and spacing of the fringes depends on the relative positions and orientations of the mirrors. Michelson's interferometer can be used to measure small changes in distance and determine the wavelength of monochromatic light by counting the number of fringes that shift when a mirror is moved a known amount.
This document discusses various theories and models of light, including evidence that light behaves as both a wave and particle. It explains Young's double-slit experiment, which showed light can interfere like a wave. However, some experiments like the photoelectric effect are better explained by thinking of light as particles called photons. The document also discusses Snell's law of refraction, how light refracts when passing from one medium to another, total internal reflection, and applications of fiber optics.
This document discusses several key concepts related to interference and diffraction of light. It begins by explaining diffraction through a single slit, producing alternating bright and dark fringes. It then discusses Young's double slit experiment and the conditions needed for observable interference patterns. The document also covers thin film interference and diffraction gratings, explaining how they produce interference patterns and can be used to measure wavelengths of light.
This article discusses the basics of Interference phenomenon of light. Young's Double Slit Experiment is discussed to understand the phenomenon of Interference and also to understand the wave behaviour of light. Newton's Ring experiment, Lloyd's Mirror experiment, Fresnel's Biprism experiment are studued here to establish the wave nature of light. Also the bright and the dark fringes and there mathematical expressions are elaborated here in this article.

Observations were recorded of the diffraction angles of different colors of light in the first and second order spectra. Calculations were done to determine the wavelengths, which were found to have percentage errors of 7-16% compared to standard values. Precautions included ensuring proper setup of the spectrometer and keeping the grating normal to the incident light.
This document discusses x-ray diffraction techniques and concepts. It begins with an overview of different diffraction techniques including x-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction. Bragg's law of diffraction is then explained, relating the diffraction angle and wavelength to the crystal lattice spacing. Key concepts in x-ray diffraction such as the reciprocal lattice, Laue conditions, and powder vs single crystal diffraction are described. Specific applications and techniques like thin film analysis and Rietveld refinement are also mentioned.
This document discusses various techniques for crystal structure analysis using diffraction of x-rays, electrons, and neutrons. It begins by introducing Bragg diffraction and references several textbooks on topics like x-ray diffraction, small-angle scattering, and protein crystallography. The document then covers the fundamentals of elastic and inelastic scattering, Bragg's law of diffraction, diffraction orders, and applications of techniques like powder diffraction, single-crystal diffraction, and thin film analysis.
The blue color of Morpho butterfly wings is due to optical interference, which causes the color to shift with viewing angle. Interference occurs when two coherent light waves superimpose and their amplitudes combine, potentially constructively or destructively. In a thin film between materials with different refractive indices, partial reflection occurs at each interface, and the reflected waves can interfere. For constructive interference producing bright fringes, the optical path difference of the waves must be equal to integer multiples of the wavelength. [/SUMMARY]
The experiment measured mechanical properties of annealed and unannealed brass rods as well as borate glass rods of varying compositions. It found that annealing decreased the yield strength of brass rods by increasing grain size and reducing dislocation density. Borate glass became more brittle at lower alkali concentrations due to being below its glass transition temperature. Young's modulus was measured through tensile testing, 3-point bending, and measuring speed of sound, with varying results found between annealed and unannealed brass.
The Light from the Invisible World of NeutrinosSon Cao
The document summarizes a presentation given on neutrino research. It begins with a brief history of neutrinos, including their theoretical postulation in 1930 and first experimental detection in 1956. It then discusses the topic of neutrino oscillation, which provides evidence that neutrinos have mass and mix between flavor states. The presentation also outlines how neutrino oscillation experiments work by measuring probabilities of different neutrino flavors at a baseline, and provides the T2K experiment as an example. Finally, it discusses the importance of neutrino oscillation in going beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
1) Diffraction refers to the spreading or bending of waves around edges, which results in a characteristic fringe pattern from a single slit consisting of alternate bright and dark fringes that fade from the center.
2) Young's double-slit experiment demonstrated the principle of interference, which requires coherent sources, equal amplitudes, and a small path difference between waves. Multiple slits produce sharper, narrower fringes.
3) Thin films can produce interference patterns through the constructive or destructive interference of light reflecting off the top and bottom surfaces, with the thickness determining the colors observed. Diffraction gratings consist of many parallel slits and split light into multiple beams.
This document summarizes key concepts in optics, including:
1. Refraction of light at interfaces and how refractive index is defined. Total internal reflection occurs when light passes from higher to lower index medium at an angle greater than the critical angle.
2. Optical phenomena like diffraction, scattering, polarization are discussed. Refractive errors and accommodation are also covered.
3. Optical aberrations like spherical aberration and chromatic aberration are properties of thick lenses. Laser components and mechanisms of laser tissue damage complete the summary.
From magnetic systems to the crust of the earth, many physical systems that exibit a multiplicty of metastable states emit pulses with a broad power law distribution in energy. Digital audio recordings reveal that paper being crumpled, a system that can be easily held in hand, is such a system. Crumpling paper both using the traditional hand method and a novel cylindrical geometry uncovered a power law distribution of pulse energies spanning at least two decades: (exponent 1.3 - 1.6) Crumpling initally flat sheets into a compact ball (strong crumpling), we found little or no evidence that the energy distribution varied systematically over time or the size of the sheet. When we applied repetitive small deformations (weak crumpling) to sheets which had been previously folded along a regular grid, we found no systematic dependence on the grid spacing. Our results suggest that the pulse energy depends only weakly on the size of the paper regions responsible for sound production
Interference is the phenomenon where two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of lower, higher, or same amplitude. The most commonly seen type of interference is optical interference, where light waves interfere. Optical interference is demonstrated by the light reflected from a film of oil floating on water. There are two types of interference: constructive interference, where amplitudes reinforce each other; and destructive interference, where amplitudes oppose each other. Newton's rings are an interference pattern created between a spherical surface and an adjacent flat surface. Fresnel biprism can be used to determine wavelength and thickness by analyzing interference fringes.

1) Diffraction refers to the spreading or bending of waves around edges, which results in a characteristic fringe pattern from a single slit consisting of alternating bright and dark fringes that fade from the center.
2) Interference patterns from thin films and multiple slits can be explained by the optical path difference between light waves reflecting or diffracting from different points, with constructive and destructive interference occurring at specific path differences.
3) A diffraction grating splits light into multiple beams at specific angles determined by the grating spacing and wavelength, allowing spectrometers to measure light wavelengths.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

4. Ujjval Nagota (N024)
2. Introduction
There are really thin objects in physics lab whose thickness
needs to be measured in the lab like paper, diameter of hair,
etc. Normally we do it by the screw gauge but during the
usage of the screw gauge some people apply more pressure
to hold the paper in place and some apply less pressure
leading to errors in measurement.
This problem is solved by the air wedge method.
2
3. Apparatus
• Thin strip of paper
• 1 rubber band
• 2 glass plates
• 1 thin glass slab
• Source of light (Sodium Lamp in our case)
• Convex lens
• Travelling microscope
3
4. Formation of air wedge
• There are 2 glass plates held
together at one end with a
rubber band.
• We put a piece of paper in
between them on the other
end and we create a wedge.
• Now this is the air wedge that
is created.
4
5. Experimental Setup
1. Create an air wedge as explained
in slide 4.
2. Place a thin glass slab above the
air wedge so that will work as a
partial mirror.
3. Place the sodium lamp in front of
this apparatus.
4. Place the convex lens such that
the sodium lamp is at its focus
giving us a parallel beam of light.
5. Place a travelling microscope
above the 45º glass slab to see the
interference.
5
6. Working
1. When the light from the lamp travels through the glass plate it gets refracted.
2. Then the light passes through the air-wedge into other glass plate
3. After the reflection from the bottom of the other glass plate the light follows
the same route back up.
4. Due these refractions and reflections the light is out of phase with the one
getting partially reflected from the top surface.
5. These lights in different phases cause interference and form fringes.
1. The fringes are alternatively dark and bright based on the path difference
as explained in slide 8.
2. The fringes are formed as the superposition of waves occur.
3. Depending on the path difference the waves in different phases overlap.
6
8. Formulas Used
• Condition for Maxima:
• 2μt + (λ/2) = nλ (Path difference)
• 2μxθ = (2n-1).(λ/2)
• Condition for Minima:
• 2μt + (λ/2) = (2n+1)λ/2 (Path difference)
• 2μxθ = nλ
• β = λ / 2μθ
• t = λl / 2β
λ = Wavelength of light
x = Distance of fringe from the edge
t = thickness of the paper = x.tan(θ) = xθ (for very small θ)
θ = angle between glass plates
β = Fringe width = Distance between 2 consecutive
dark/bright fringes
l = Length of the Air-Wedge
8
10. Calculations
• Length of air wedge = l = 30 mm
• Wavelength of light = λ = 5893 Å = 5.893 X 10-4
• βmean = (0.115+0.096+0.111+0.106+0.110+0.109+0.112)/7
= 0.759/7 = 0.108mm
• t = λl/2β = (0.0005893*30)/(2*0.108) = 0.081mm
10
11. Result and Conclusion
• Result:
• Finally the thickness of the paper came out to be 0.081
mm
• Conclusion:
• We can see that this method of measuring thickness of
really thin materials is better as this gives way less
errors than the ones including screw gauges or vernier
callipers.
11
12. Precautions
• Glass plates should not be cracked
• No other dirt particles or liquid should enter the wedge
• The glass slab which reflect the light should be exactly at
45º.
