     Extension ∝ stretching force

    Metho$:

    1. A clamp stand, spring, meter rule and slotted masses with a hanger

    were obtained.2. A spring was hooked on to the clamp stand.

    . The length of the spring was then measured using a meter rule.

    !. A hanger was then hooked on with "# grams to the spring.

    ". The length spring including the hanger and the masses on it was then

    measured.

    $. 2" more grams were added to the hanger and were measured again

    using the meter rule.

    %. The process was then repeated $ more times adding 2" more grams

    each time. Results:

    Dis(ussio): Hooke’s law state that that for all elastic bodies the extension

    was proportional to the stretching force so long as the spring was not permanently stretched. +hen the graph was finish drawn the line ended was

    straight. The reason why the line of the graph was straight is because the

    extension was directly proportional to its stretching force. The gradient was

    found using the formula rise o/er run and the gradient was #.#!. 3or e/ery

    2" grams added to the spring the extension of the spring increased by #.#1m.

      +hen the measurements were being written down it was made surethat the correct units were used.

      +hen measuring the length of the spring and the hanger containing

    the masses it was assured that the spring was not mo/ing around.

    *Sour(es o+ error:

      +hen the weight was being calculated the wrong e5uation was being

    used.

    Co)(lusio): 6t was concluded that hooks law can be pro/ed by adding

    weights to a spring as long as the spring doesn’t permanently stretch.

    Theory: The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is e5ual to

    the angle of reflection. The second law states that the incident ray, the

    reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane. 

    Metho$:

    1. 3our optic pins, a mirror, a plane paper, protractor, 7uler, drawing

     board and a pencil were obtained.

    2. A hori9ontal line was then drawn across the length of the paper.

    . A /ertical line was drawn in the center of the paper connecting to the

    hori9ontal line.

    !. The part where the lines intercept was then labeled ' and the /ertical

    line was labeled .". The right side of the paper was then labeled the ray of reflection

    while the left side of the paper was labeled ray of incident.

    $. :sing the /ertical line as the normal a line was drawn at an angle

    starting from ' at the left side of the /ertical line.

    %. Two pins were then placed o/er the angled line.

    -. ;eside the pins were then labeled 81 and 82.

    . A mirror was then placed along the hori9ontal line.

    1#.The eye was then placed at an angle to the mirror where it can see the

    two pins intersecting in the mirror.

    11.Two more pins were placed along the eye site were the two reflecting pins intercepted.

    12.ext to the pins were then labeled 8 and 8!.

    1.The pins where then remo/ed and a line was drawn o/er the two

    holes left at the right side by the pins.

    1!. The angle of the line at the right side of the paper was then found.

    1".The measurements between the two lengths were then obser/ed.

    Theory: The first law of refraction states that the incident and refracted rays

    are on the opposite sides of the normal and all lie in the same plane. The

    second law states that the /alue of sinѲ1= sinѲ2 is constant for light passing

    from one particular medium to another. This is called >nell’s law

     Angle of incidence in air / angle of incident in water

    Metho$:1. A rectangular glass prism ! optic pins, 8lain sheet of paper, drawing

     board, 8rotractor, pencil and a 7uler was obtained.

    . A rectangular glass prism was then placed in the center of the sheet of

     paper with the length of the prism as the base.

    !. The perimeter of the rectangular glass prism was then traced around

    the paper using a pencil.". The rectangular glass prism was then remo/ed lea/ing a drawn

    rectangle on the paper.

    $. A /ertical line was then drawn at the top left of the drawn rectangle

    and was marked to represent normal.

    %. An angled line was taken starting at the normal under # degree angle

    and was then labeled the incident ray.

    -. Two pins where then placed o/er the angled line at different lengths

    and one was labeled 81 and the other 82.

    . The rectangular glass prism was then placed inside the drawnrectangle.

    1#. The other two pins were inserted in line with the refraction of the

    incident ray when the eye was looking through the side of the

    rectangular glass prism and was then labeled 8 and 8!.

    11. The four pins where then remo/ed.

    12.A straight line was then drawn o/er the two holes that the pins

    inserted at the bottom of the triangle left starting from the bottom

    length of the drawn rectangle and was then labeled the emergent ray.

    1. A /ertical line was drawn where the bottom line of the rectangle and

    the emergent ray intercept and was also marked to represent thenormal.

    1!. A line was then drawn through the drawn rectangle starting where the

    incident ray and the normal at the top intercepts and ends where the

    emergent ray and the normal at the bottom intercept and was then

    labeled the refracted ray.

    >cissors were first obtained.

    2. The empty small beaker was weighed on a weight scale.

    . A large beaker was then filled with water.

    !. A drinking straw was then completely immersed in the large beaker

    containing water then the tip of one end of the straw was then co/ered

    with a thumb to keep the water in the straw.". The straw was then taken out the large beaker with water in it then

     placed o/er the empty small beaker.

    $. The thumb was then remo/ed from the tip of the drinking straw letting

    the water in the straw to fall into the small beaker.

    %. The process was then repeated 1 more times

    -. The small beaker was weighed again.

    . The whole procedure was then repeated three more times

    Dis(ussio):

    +hen the results were represented on a graph, the points defined the straight

    line. A best fit line had to be drawn. This allowed the relation between N

    angle and O angle to be described by a leaner e5uation of the formy0mx?c

    +here y0 beta angle (OѲ), x0 alpha angle (N Ѳ), m 0 slope=gradient and

    c0 intercept of the yaxis. The gradient of the graph was found to be 2 and

    the points on the graph were constant except for when the mirror was turned

    !# where there was a slight difference. ;ased on the graph it was seen that 

    the N angle was directly proportional to the O angle. The yintercept of the

    graph was seen to be #. The gradient was calculated using the e5uation

    *Sour(es o+ error

    +hen the angle of rotation of the reflected image was being found, an error

    occurred. The angles of reflection were not accurately marked when readingthe beam from the red box off the mirror. This introduced an error and a

    limitation in determining the accurate angle of rotation of the reflected ray.

    Re+le(tio): This concept is used in real life situations. An example for that

    is the traffic mirrors. At a T crossing there are usually traffic mirrors placed

    in front of the road where the dri/ers are not able to see the oncoming traffic

    to the left or right. 6t is usually placed !" so that the dri/er can see #  which would make him=her to ha/e a straight /iew towards the oncoming

    traffic. 6n this experiment it was learnt that the angle of rotation of the

    reflected ray from the plane mirror will be twice the angle of rotation of the

    mirror no matter what angle the mirror is rotated.

    Co)(lusio):  ;ased on the results obtained it was concluded that the angle

    of rotation of a reflected ray from a plane mirror is directly proportional to

    the angle of rotation of the mirror.
