Show Abstract
We present a unified formalism describing the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen test using spin ½ particles, photons, and kaons. This facilitates the comparison with existing experiments using photons and kaons. It underlines the similarities between birefringence and polarization-dependent losses that affect experiments using optical fibers and mixing and decay that are intrinsic to the kaons. We also discuss the limitation these two characteristics impose on the testing of Bell’s inequality. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Show Abstract
We show how a student may construct simple and versatile optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized particles. The tweezers apparatus is used to set birefringent calcite particles into rotation using circularly polarized light. This demonstrates the mechanical transfer of the angular momentum associated with circularly polarized light from the laser beam to the trapped particle. This offers the student a method for performing Beth’s experiment qualitatively in the undergraduate laboratory. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Emil Wiechert (1861–1928): Esteemed seismologist, forgotten physicist

Joseph F. Mulligan

American Journal of Physics -- March 2001 -- Volume 69, Issue 3, pp. 277 | Cited 3 times

Full Text: Read Online (HTML) | Download PDF

Show Abstract
Emil Wiechert was well known during his lifetime as Professor of Geophysics at the Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen and Director of the Geophysical Institute there. He made many significant contributions to geophysics and seismology, and is highly respected by present-day geophysicists for his research and organizational contributions to the development of geophysics and seismology as major scientific disciplines. On the other hand, his contributions to fundamental physics—cathode rays, the discovery of the electron, the Liénard–Wiechert potentials, his electron theory—are unknown to many physicists today. This article presents Wiechert’s life, achievements in physics, and relationship to well-known physicists like Arnold Sommerfeld, Hendrik Lorentz, and Woldemar Voigt, to enable contemporary physicists to know better Wiechert’s important contributions to pure physics, and to appreciate more fully his role in the history of physics. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Teaching antenna radiation from a time-domain perspective

Glenn S. Smith

American Journal of Physics -- March 2001 -- Volume 69, Issue 3, pp. 288 | Cited 13 times

Full Text: Read Online (HTML) | Download PDF

Show Abstract
Radiation from a simple wire antenna, such as a dipole, is a topic discussed in many courses on electromagnetism. These discussions are almost always restricted to harmonic time dependence. A time-harmonic current distribution is assumed on the wire, and the time-harmonic radiated field is determined. The purpose of this paper is to show that simple wire antennas with a general excitation, e.g., a pulse in time, can be analyzed easily using approximations no worse than those used with time-harmonic excitation, viz. an assumed current distribution. Expressions are obtained for the electromagnetic field of the current that apply at any point in space (in the near zone as well as in the far zone). The analysis in the time domain provides physical understanding not readily available from the time-harmonic analysis. In addition, an interesting analogy can be drawn between the radiation from these antennas when excited by a short pulse of current and the radiation from a moving point charge. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Full Text: Read Online (HTML) | Download PDF

Show Abstract
We present a new method for measuring the coefficient of restitution between a steel ball and a flat, smooth surface, based on the recording of sound files with a PC. We demonstrate how a simple and straightforward analysis of the sound files yields the coefficient of restitution as a function of velocity. The time resolution of many PC sound cards allows us to measure the collision time and hence to estimate the average impulsive force and the stress exerted on the surface. This in turn provides a basis for a discussion of energy loss mechanisms. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Acoustic quality factor and energy losses in cylindrical pipes

Michael J. Moloney and Daniel L. Hatten

American Journal of Physics -- March 2001 -- Volume 69, Issue 3, pp. 311 | Cited 9 times

Full Text: Read Online (HTML) | Download PDF

Show Abstract
The quality factor Q of a damped oscillator equals 2π times the ratio of stored energy to the energy dissipated per cycle. This makes Q a sensitive probe of energy losses. Using modest equipment, we measured the acoustical Q for a set of cylindrical pipes having the same resonant frequency, but different diameters D. The graph of Q vs D could be well fitted with two parameters, one of which corresponds to energy loss via radiation from the ends of the pipe, and the other to thermal and viscous losses very close to the pipe wall. The wall loss parameter was quite constant no matter where the pipes were located, but the radiative loss parameter varied significantly with location inside a room, suggesting that room reflections affected the sound radiated from the pipe. This study offers valuable insights at no great expense, and could be the basis of an upper-division undergraduate laboratory experiment. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

For the example of the infinite well potential, we point out some paradoxes which are solved by a careful analysis of what is a truly self-adjoint operator. We then describe the self-adjoint extensions and their spectra for the momentum and the Hamiltonian operators in different settings. Additional physical requirements such as parity, time reversal, and positivity are used to restrict the large class of self-adjoint extensions of the Hamiltonian. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Measures of spread for periodic distributions and the associated uncertainty relations

G. W. Forbes and M. A. Alonso

American Journal of Physics -- March 2001 -- Volume 69, Issue 3, pp. 340 | Cited 14 times

Full Text: Read Online (HTML) | Download PDF

Show Abstract
A physicist’s intuition in Fourier theory is generally established from the parallels between Fourier series and transforms. Remarkably, one element of this theory that is especially significant in physics, namely the uncertainty principle, is never treated for Fourier series. We resolve this by first showing that a natural measure of spread for a periodic distribution follows simply upon regarding the distribution as a mass density on a ring. Even though the centroid of this ring is expressed in terms of just a first moment, its distance from the geometric center gives a close analog of variance. We then derive direct analogs of the uncertainty principle for both the Fourier series of a continuous periodic function as well as the fast Fourier transform of discrete data. The results have similar applications to those of the standard uncertainty principle. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Show Abstract
This paper describes a toy, consisting of a pair of magic tesseracts, that can be used to perform an amazing trick that defies explanation in conventional terms. An account of the toy, and the trick possible with it, is given in nontechnical terms that should be accessible to a layman. An explanation is then given, for physicists, of how this trick can be interpreted as a proof of Bell’s theorem. An appendix (again intended for physicists) describes the internal machinery of the toy and how it works its magic. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

For many years it was believed that a rigid, massless hoop which is loaded with a heavy particle on its rim and rolling on a rough surface would hop when the normal reaction became zero. This is a hypothetical model that raises a number of very interesting and subtle aspects of dynamics. In this paper the motion of such hoops is analyzed in detail, and a new motion with unusual characteristics is found. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Eikonal equation from continuum mechanics and analogy between equilibrium of a string and geometrical light rays

Full Text: Read Online (HTML) | Download PDF

Show Abstract
This work of didactic character on geometrical optics consists of two parts, whose main link is the use of methods associated with continuum physics. First, the formalism of continuum physics is applied in order to derive the eikonal equation from the study of propagation of discontinuities in electromagnetic fields in such a way that the eikonal equation is an exact derivation from Maxwell equations. The results obtained are well known from the works of Luneburg [Mathematical Theory of Optics (California U.P., Berkeley, 1964)], although the method used is new and efficient and provides a good occasion to use the continuum physics beyond its standard applications. Second, from the identity between the differential equation of light rays and the equilibrium equation of a flexible and inextensible string subjected to a conservative force, the analogy between both physical models is inferred. To illustrate this analogy, two applications in the realms of mechanics and optics are shown. The obtained results in statics have been reinterpreted from the dynamical scheme. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Generalizing the Heisenberg uncertainty relation

Eric D. Chisolm

American Journal of Physics -- March 2001 -- Volume 69, Issue 3, pp. 368 | Cited 9 times

Full Text: Read Online (HTML) | Download PDF

Show Abstract
The proof of the Heisenberg uncertainty relation is modified to produce two improvements: (a) The resulting inequality is stronger because it includes the covariance between the two observables, and (b) the proof lifts certain restrictions on the state to which the relation is applied, increasing its generality. The restrictions necessary for the standard inequality to apply are not widely known, and they are discussed in detail. The classical analog of the Heisenberg relation is also derived, and the two are compared. Finally, the modified relation is used to address the apparent paradox that eigenfunctions of the z component of angular momentum Lz do not satisfy the ϕ–Lz Heisenberg relation; the resolution is that the restrictions mentioned above make the usual inequality inapplicable to these states. The modified relation does apply, however, and it is shown to be consistent with explicit calculations. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Show Abstract
Ionizing radiation and its effects on human beings, radiation protection, and radiological accident prevention are topics usually not included in the physics courses at the Brazilian universities. As a consequence, high school teachers are not able to enlighten their students when radiological or nuclear accidents occur. This paper presents a teaching program on ionizing radiation physics, to be applied to undergraduate physics students and to physics high school teachers. It is based on the environmental consequences of the 1987 radiological accident in Goiânia. This program was applied to two undergraduate physics students, in 1999, at the Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil. Results of the gamma ray spectrometry measurements of samples collected in Goiânia by the students are presented. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.

A simple extension of Rüchardt’s method for measuring the ratio of specific heats of air using microcomputer-based laboratory sensors

Show Abstract
A lower division laboratory experiment is described which measures the ratio of specific heats for air, γ≡Cp/Cv, using Rüchardt’s method augmented by microcomputer-based laboratory sensors. A low pressure gauge transducer records the damped pressure oscillations, leading to a value of γ=1.41±0.04. Adding a laser switch, one can extend the method to determine γ from the ratio of pressure and volume variations, γ=−(dp/dV)(V/p), which yields 1.33±0.05. Nonadiabatic processes are considered. © 2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.
