SECTION-B
2. Starting from the expression for velocity
?
? ? sin v rr r r ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
?
? ? obtain an expression for
acceleration in spherical polar coordinates.
3. Discuss various conservations laws in terms of symmetries of space and time.
4. Describe Michelson-Morley experiment. What do you conclude from Michelson- Morley
experiment? If ether does not exist, in what medium does light travel?
5. Describe the construction of Foucault?s pendulum. Show that the rotation of the plane of
oscillation of the Foucault?s pendulum is a direct proof of the rotation of the earth about
its own axis.
6. Starting from Lorentz?s transformation equations for space and time coordinates, derive
equations for relativistic addition of velocities.
7. Derive the formula for relativistic variation of mass with velocity.
