    Application of measurement uncertainty analysis in university physics experiments — gravity acceleration measured by single-swing
    ZHANG Zhu li, CHEN Xin lei, LU Mei hong

    Gravity acceleration is an important mechanical constant in physics. There are many methods to measure the value of gravity acceleration, and the simple pendulum method is often used in university physics experiments. However, the experimental principle only studies the motion of the single pendulum ball and ignores the influence of the size of pendulum, buoyancy, cycloid mass and other factors, so the measurement results are not accurate enough. The relative accurate formula of gravity acceleration and the corresponding synthetic standard uncertainty formula are obtained by correcting the system error that caused in the measurement of gravity acceleration by the simple pendulum method. Finally, the measured data are analyzed and calculated reasonably, and the more accurate experimental results are obtained.

    Through detailed derivation, graph presentation and discussion of the ratio relationship between the amplitude of the reflected wave and that of the incident wave, this article gives the detailed distribution map of phase difference between the reflected light and the incident light in the refractive index-incident angle space. At the same time, various conditions for the occurrence of half-wave loss are specified, including the half-wave loss of the reflected light when the light is emitted from the optically denser medium to the optically thinner medium. Here we show that when the light beam is shot from the optically denser medium to the optically thinner medium, the reflected wave may also occur half-wave loss; when the light beam is shot from the optically thinner medium to the optically denser medium, the reflected wave does not necessarily occur a half-wave loss. Our work clarifies and supplements some unclear conclusions in existing textbooks.

    It is indicated that Dirac δ-function is a continuation of the discrete Kronecker

    δ-function,which plays an important role in both mathematics and physics. In this paper,the precise

    definition of Dirac δ-function is introduced based on the concept of generalized functions,and it

    is proved that the Dirac δ-function is not a usual function in the Lebesgue sense of local

    integrable one. To this end,the Dirac δ-function is here approximated in the sense of weak limit by

    making use of the sequences of the unit rectangle impulse functions,Gauss functions,Bell-

    shaped functions and Sinc-functions,respectively. In addition,it is checked that the Dirac

    δ-function is obtained as a generalized derivative of the Heaviside function,and its higher derivative is also shown.

    Moreover,the convo- lutions,scales,compound transformations,orthogonality and Comb Dirac functions are recalled,respectively. Fi- nally,the relationship between Dirac δ-function and generalized Fourier transform is introduced,and we present an application to solve the Dirichlet boundary value problem of the Poisson equation.

    This paper analyzes and calculates the influence of the pendulum angle,the rotation of

    the ball,the mass of the suspension line,the air buoyancy and the air resistance on the period of

    the pendulum one by one. Tak- ing a 1 m length and 5° swing angle small amplitude pendulum as an

    example,the relative errors of the five factors are

    +0.45‰,+0.02‰,-0.45‰,+0.07‰,-0.14‰,respectively,and the total is only -0.05‰,which means that the

    five error factors almost cancel each other,and the systematic error of the small

    pendulum experiment is very small in theory. This paper gives a more detailed

    reasoning,calculation and analysis process,especially the reasoning process of air resistance

    moment,as well as charts and tables,for providing a more complete and accu- rate

    understanding. Finally,some necessary explanations are given in view of some possible deficiencies

    in people's understanding of air resistance.

    Abstract2983)      PDF(pc) (407KB)(1023)       Save
    Using the coherent superposition,diffractions are deduced when a plane wave incidents on

    a phase grating. Results show that the ±1 order diffraction of the phase grating can get the

    maximum intensity and realize the splitting function,overcoming the problems in amplitude grating

    where the 0 order diffraction has the maximum in- tensity but with no splitting function. The

    diffraction efficiency of ±1 order diffraction with respect to the duty ratio and phase introduced

    by the phase material are discussed. The method we provided here has implicit physical mean- ings

    and is easy to adapt to other diffraction structure.

    In the experiment of measuring the refractive index of a prism with a

    spectrophotometer,a key step is to adjust the object stage so that its main axis is perpendicular

    to the optical axes of the telescope and the collima- tor,which is called the standard case. It is

    analyzed that the influence on the measurement of apex angle and mini- mum deviation angle

    theoretically and experimentally when there is a deviation of the object stage. The experiments are

    performed for two cases. One case is that,in the telescope,it can be found that a green

    cross image reflectes from at least one surface of the double face plane mirror. In this case,the

    deviation is marked by recording the posi- tion of the green cross image. The other case is that

    the deviation of the object stage is measured with an extra sys- tem. In this case,the deviation

    degree of the object stage can be recorded directly. In experiment,the variation of the apex angle

    and minimum deviation angle of the prism with the deviation of the object stage is measured

    in the two cases. And the object stage’s deviation range,at which the experimental

    results has smaller deviations than standard measurement errors,is determined.

    results show that the shape and size of Lissajous figures change periodically when the

    frequency of the sound source increases. Finally,the effective surface tension value is estimated

    to be about 46.00 N / m through the measured resonance frequency when the surface area of latex

    ballon is twice the normal area,indicating that the device has certain practical applicability.

    A simpler explanation of Thomas precession

    The discovery of Thomas precession is of great significance to the establishment of the

    concept of e- lectron spin. However,its physical images and conclusions are usually derived from

    the differential process of con- tinuous Lorentz transformation. The method is complicated and

    difficult to understand. In this article,based on the concept of shortening the length in the

    direction of motion in the special theory of relativity,it is surprising to find that Thomas

    precession angular velocity can be easily calculated by the integral effect of the

    angle difference be- tween the nuclear reference system and the electron reference system

    when the electron moves around the nuclear for a full circle.

    Faraday magneto-optical rotation effect is a phenomenon that applying an external

    magnetic field to an isotropic medium will induce the optical rotation property. In this

    paper, light is regarded as an electromagnetic wave. By using the method of electrodynamics,

    starting from the equation of motion of electrons in an isotropic me- dium under an external

    magnetic field, the change of the system caused by the magnetic field will be analyzed. And then

    the relative dielectric tensor is obtained, which is solved by combining with Maxwell

    equations. By using the simple knowledge of electrodynamics, we can strictly deduce that the

    eigenstates of magneto-optical system must be right-handed and left-handed polarization.

    Furthermore, we can make readers better understand the source of fara-

    day effect in the perspective of eigenvalue problem.

    The mass-velocity relationship is an important conclusion of the theory of relativity.

    Most textbooks use two objects to collide completely in-elastically for observing the speed

    change from different frames of refer- ence,and obtain the mass-speed relationship. This paper

    uses the Lorentz transformation of space-time in the spe- cial theory of relativity to prove the

    invariance of the force in the direction of motion in the two inertial reference

    frames. Then,Newton's second law is directly to derive the relationship between mass and

    speed. This derivation method is relatively simple. which is very conducive to the

    understanding of junior college students.
