0:00Now my next topic is motion. Yes, motion. Today we
0:04will see some very basic but important concepts related to motion
0:09. Absolutely. These
0:12are very important for competitive exams like SSC, UPSC and their physics section.
0:16Yes. So, we will understand what motion is? And then we will learn about distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration. Let
0:25's start with motion.
0:27Yes. So first of all, what is motion? In simple language,
0:32if there is a reference point, a fixed point, yes any object with respect to which we
0:36are looking, then according to that, if
0:40the position of an object is changing with time, then we will say that the object is in motion. It
0:45is a simple thing. Absolutely. If it
0:49is moving according to the things around it, changing its place, then it is in motion.
0:53And this reference point can be anything, right? Ground, tree. Yes,
0:57even another person in this moving train? Absolutely.
0:59So, this is motion, but to understand motion properly, we will have to know some more things.
1:05For example, people often get confused between distance and displacement.
1:10Yes, this is a very common confusion. They seem similar, but they are quite different.
1:13So, what is distance first? Distance.
1:16See, distance means the entire path that someone covered. You went from A to B. Suppose
1:21by taking a detour. So the length of that entire path becomes that distance.
1:26Yes. And this is a scalar quantity.
1:30Meaning it has only value. 10 km. 5 meters, you don't have to tell the direction.
1:35Well, like if I say I walked 10 km. I told you where I walked.
1:40Absolutely. Now displacement is different from this.
1:44How? Displacement sees
1:49what is the shortest straight distance between your initial position and final position. That means even if you go zigzag from A to B,
1:55the displacement will still be a straight line from A to B.
1:59That's right. Draw a straight line in the air from A to B. That is displacement. And
2:04because it is a straight distance. It also has direction.
2:07Okay. So this is a vector quantity.
2:11Yes. In this, along with the value, the direction also has to be given. Like 5 km towards east.
2:16Why is it important to understand this difference? Because in many places in physics,
2:21while calculating work, we need displacement. If not distance, then this basic difference
2:26should be known. Got it? Okay. Now let's come to the types of motion
2:31. Uniform and non-uniform motion. Uniform and non-uniform motion.
2:36Yes. Uniform motion means when an object covers equal distance in equal time and
2:43in a straight line. For example
2:44, imagine there is an empty highway and the car is moving straight at a fixed speed of 60 km/hour
2:51. Neither the speed is less nor more, nor is it turning.
2:55So that is uniform motion. Yes. And non-uniform motion, the opposite of this, is when the object
3:00covers different distances in equal time or its direction changes. I mean
3:07driving in city traffic. Perfect example. Sometimes the speed is less, sometimes
3:11more, sometimes brakes, sometimes turns. Most of the things that we see in real life are non-uniform motions
3:16. We know this. Well, there
3:20are two more things related to this. Speed and velocity. What is the difference between them? Speed
3:26is probably related to distance. Yes, absolutely. Speed tells
3:31how fast an object is moving. That means how much distance it has covered in a unit time.
3:36Well, distance is also a scalar. Yes, speed is a scalar quantity. Its SI
3:42unit is meter per second m/s. We just say that the speed of the vehicle
3:47is 80 km/hr. It is not about the direction. So then what is velocity? Velocity also
3:51tells how fast the object is. But direction is also added to it. Velocity is the
3:57displacement covered in a unit time. Oh, displacement because displacement
4:03is a vector. Therefore, velocity is also a vector quantity, a vector
4:06quantity. So if I say that the vehicle
4:10is going in the north direction at a speed of 80 km/hr. So this is velocity.
4:13Absolutely right. This is velocity. And if the direction changes, say the vehicle turns, then the velocity
4:18will change. Even if the speed remains 80 km/hr.
4:22Well this is a very important point. And how do you find the change in velocity?
4:26It is simple. Just subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity.
4:32Okay? You understood velocity.
4:35But then what is this acceleration? Acceleration. Does it only mean increase in speed
4:41? No. This is a common misunderstanding. Acceleration
4:44does not only mean increase in speed. Acceleration is directly connected to velocity.
4:48How does it relate to velocity? Acceleration is
4:53the rate of change in velocity. Rate of change of velocity. Okay. Rate of change in velocity.
4:59Yes. And since velocity is a vector, acceleration is also a vector quantity.
5:03Okay. So how can velocity change? There are three ways. Either the speed changes,
5:09meaning speed increases or decreases, yes.
5:12Or just the direction changes. The speed remains the same. Even by changing the direction.
5:17Yes. And the third is to change both the speed and the direction. In all these three cases, there will be acceleration.
5:24That means accelerating the car is acceleration. Yes. Braking
5:29is also acceleration. Negative acceleration is called deceleration or retardation
5:34. And if the car is moving at the same speed on a roundabout,
5:38that is also accelerated motion.
5:40Yes because the direction is constantly changing every
5:43moment. Amazing. This point about direction often
5:47goes unnoticed. Yes, this is important.
5:49Any special kind of motion which is important for exams. See, motion in a straight line
5:54, rectilinear motion, is fundamental but there is another one, uniform circular
6:01motion. Yes, I have heard what happens in this,
6:05in this the object moves on a circular path with a uniform speed, the speed
6:11remains constant, like the rotation of a fan or a swing,
6:15yes or the rotation of the earth around the sun, here the speed is not changing, but because
6:20the object is constantly turning, its direction is changing
6:23. Absolutely and the direction changed means the velocity changed.
6:26And the velocity changed means acceleration. Exactly, uniform
6:31circular motion, even though the speed is constant,
6:36is an example of accelerated motion. Excellent, so today we
6:42understood the main concepts of the world of motion - distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration.
6:48Yes. And we also saw how important is the difference between scalar vector and scalar vector.
6:54Of course, it is not just a matter of memorizing definitions.
6:57No, not at all. Think, if these basics are clear, then it
7:01becomes easy to understand the further topics like
7:06projectile motion or the motion of planets or relative velocity
7:10. Yes, these concepts are actually tools, with which you can solve difficult problems of physics. This
7:14is the foundation. You said it right. Only by understanding these basic things
7:18can one move forward. Well, which of all these concepts do you
7:23find the most challenging or do you have any questions? Yes, listeners can tell.
7:26What do you think? Do tell in the comments. We will meet again next time
7:32with a new interesting topic. Now my next topic is.
7:35Yes. Laws of motion.
7:38Yes, laws of motion. This is a very important topic.
7:41Absolutely. Look, to understand the meaning of these laws properly, first of all we
7:48have to understand force. Force is correct.
7:52How can there be a change in motion without force? Exactly.
7:54So what is force? It means any external effect that changes the state of an object.
8:00What do you mean by state? It means if something is stationary then it makes it move
8:04or if it is moving then it stops it. Or it changes its speed or changes its direction.
8:08Isn't it? Yes, yes.
8:09That means it brings a change in velocity. And it
8:14is also important to remember its SI unit. Yes, that is Newton. It is represented by N.
8:16Okay. So you understood force. Now there are its types too, right?
8:20Yes. Broadly, there are two types. Tell me which ones?
8:23No, you tell me. Okay. So one is contact force. That is,
8:27contact forces. When things touch.
8:30Yes. When there is direct contact like pushing or pulling something.
8:35Okay. And the second one is non-contact force
8:39. There is no need to touch in this. Well, the effect is felt from a distance itself.
8:44Absolutely. So some more examples of contact force
8:47in everyday life. Oh, there are many. Like when we walk,
8:51there is a friction force between the ground and the foot. Frictional force.
8:55Yes. The same is felt between the tyre of the car and the road.
8:58You are right. Then there is the spring force. Pull or press the spring, it
9:04tries to come back. And like we lift a weight.
9:07Yes. That is the force of our muscles. Muscular forces, all these are contact forces.
9:13Okay, understood. Now which are these non-contact forces that are felt without touching?
9:17The most common among these is gravity. Gravitational force. The earth pulls everything towards itself
9:23. Yes, the falling of an apple.
9:25Absolutely. Then there is magnetic force.
9:28Like a magnet pulls iron from a distance.
9:31Yes. And another one is electrostatic force.
9:36That comb example. Rub it in your hair and then pick up the pieces of paper.
9:40All these are non-contact forces. Well, this is where another classification comes in
9:46. Conservative and non-conservative forces. Conservative and non-conservative.
9:52Yes, this is also a very important concept. Conservative forces are those whose
9:58work done does not depend on the path. It
10:02does not depend on the path. It means that no matter how you take the object from point A
10:08to point B, whether straight or in a roundabout way, if the initial and final points are the same
10:15If the force is conservative then the work done by the force will be the same.
10:19Well, like gravity, of course, gravity
10:23is a classic example of a conservative force. So if I throw a ball up and it
10:27comes back to my hand, the total work done is zero. Yes,
10:32the total work done by the gravitational force will be zero because the initial and final position are the same. Most non-
10:38contact forces are conservative. Well, there is probably a contact force in this
10:43. Yes, the spring force. It is worth noting
10:46that the spring force, which is a contact force, is also conservative.
10:51Okay. So what are non-conservative forces? Non-conservative. These are forces whose
10:56work depends on the path. That means the longer the path you take, the more work
11:02will be done. The best example of this
11:03is frictional force.
11:06Yes, this makes sense. Whether you drag a heavy box straight or by a longer path,
11:11the longer the path, the more effort will be required. Absolutely because friction
11:16is constantly dissipating energy . So the longer the path, the more energy is dissipated in the form of heat.
11:22We are fine. So this is about forces. Now let's come to the main point. Newton's
11:28laws of motion. Yes, Newton's laws of motion. First law.
11:32The first law which is also called the law of inertia. Law of inertia. What does it say? It
11:37says that any object wants to maintain its current state.
11:42Meaning, if it is at rest,
11:46it wants to remain at rest and if it is moving in a straight line with a uniform speed,
11:53it wants to keep moving like that. Till when?
11:54Until, until some external unbalanced force is applied on it
12:02. Ok. That means the state will not change without an external force
12:05. And this tendency to maintain one's state
12:09is called inertia.
12:12Yes, this is interesting. What exactly is inertia?
12:15It is the object's own property. It depends on its mass. It
12:21opposes any change in its state. Resistance to change in state. Like that
12:26example of the bus, if a moving bus suddenly stops, do we fall forward?
12:30Yes, because our body wants to remain in motion. But the bus stopped
12:34and the fruits fall when the tree is shaken. That is also the case. Fruits
12:39want to remain in a state of rest due to inertia. When we shake the branch, the fruits
12:44try to stay in their place and break and fall. So the one with more mass has more inertia
12:49. Absolutely. It is more difficult to move or stop a heavy object
12:52. Isn't it? Because it has more inertia.
12:56That's right. Now let's come to the second law. This is probably the most calculative
13:03. Yes, this law tells the direct relationship between
13:07force and acceleration . What does this law say?
13:10It says that the acceleration produced in an object, that is,
13:15the rate of change in its velocity, rate of change of velocity. Yes, it
13:19is proportional to the total external force applied on it.
13:24And? And it is inversely proportional to the mass of the object
13:27. Well, in simple words,
13:33if you apply more force? Then you will get more acceleration. The speed of the object
13:36will change faster. And if the object is heavy, it means the mass
13:39is more. So the same force will produce less acceleration.
13:42And this is where the famous equation comes from. f = ma Force equals mass times acceleration. This
13:50is the mathematical form of the second law. Right? F = MA
13:55This is used in many places.
13:57It is the foundation of physics in a way.
14:00Ok. Now the third law. This is also very famous. The
14:03one about action reaction. Yes. Newton's third law says that
14:08for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
14:13Yes. Equal and opposite reaction. That means if an object A exerts a force on another object B,
14:20then the second object B will also exert the same force on the first object A but
14:27in the opposite direction. Ok, so forces always act in pairs
14:30. Action and reaction forces always
14:35act on different objects and at the same time.
14:39The best example of this is probably a rocket. Yes, absolutely. A rocket going up
14:44is a great example of the third law. How?
14:46See, what does a rocket do? It throws gases downwards rapidly.
14:51This is action. Ok.
14:53There is a jerk at the back when we move it. That is also the same. The gun exerts a forward
14:58force on the bullet, action. And the bullet exerts an equal force backward on the gun, reaction.
15:04That is why the shoulder moves back. Amazing. So these three laws together tell us the whole story of motion
15:08. Yes, in a way. So if we look briefly,
15:13the first law tells us that force is needed to change the state.
15:17The thing about inertia. Absolutely. Nothing will change without a net external force
15:20. The second law tells us how
15:23much effect will be caused by applying a certain amount of force. How much acceleration will be obtained, calculated as f = ma.
15:27Yes, it tells us the relationship between force and acceleration. Keeping mass in mind.
15:32And the third law says that forces never come alone. They always come in pairs.
15:37Action reaction. You said it right. Action and reaction.
15:41So these three laws together help us understand the motion of things in the world around us
15:46. Absolutely. And this
15:49is not just for the exam. This is happening all the time around us. When we walk, run,
15:54drive, play, everywhere. Yes, it is something to think about.
15:58So I leave a question for the listeners. Think about
16:05where do you see these three laws working in your daily life from waking up in the morning to sleeping at night
16:11? It is a good question. Do think about it.
16:14What do you think? Which example comes to mind first? Do
16:18tell us in the comments. Yes, do share it. So let's go, now my
16:22next topic is gravity. Yes. This
16:25is a very important topic for
16:29many competitive exams like SSC, UPSC .
16:32Yes, of course, questions related to this often come.
16:34So today we will try to understand what this force is? How does it work
16:40? What is its effect on the movement of planets? And also
16:46what difference does it make when we move towards the Earth or away from the Earth. Yes, let's open it up a little and understand it.
16:50Let's start. Absolutely. Let's start
16:53with the universal law of gravity. Universal Law of Gravitation
16:57This law says that every thing in the universe is pulling every other thing towards itself. Is
17:04n't this amazing? Yes, it sounds very simple but it
17:07is very deep. And see, how much this pull will be, it
17:11depends on two main things. Well, on which things?
17:14The first thing is the mass of the objects. The more the mass, the
17:20more the pull. Okay. A heavier thing will pull more.
17:23Right. And the second thing is the distance between their centers. As the distance increases, this
17:29pull will decrease rapidly. Rapidly? Yes.
17:32Yes. It decreases as the square of the distance.
17:35Well, yes. The gravitational constant. Absolutely. That g is just a number that
17:42fixes the value of this force. The real thing is mass and distance. And this law is universal. Meaning it
17:47applies to everything everywhere. Planets, stars, everything.
17:50Okay? So this is why do things pull each other and how much? But
17:55how do planets revolve around the sun? For that, probably Kepler's laws.
18:00Yes, absolutely. Newton explained why they revolve through gravity. But
18:04before him, Kepler had explained how they revolve. He gave three rules.
18:09Three rules. What is the first one?
18:11The first rule is the law of orbits. It says that the planets
18:17do not revolve around the sun exactly in a circular manner. As we think.
18:21Well, if not gold, then how? They revolve in elliptical orbits
18:26. And the sun is not at the center of that elliptical orbit but at one focus
18:31. O elliptical means that the planets sometimes
18:36come a little closer to the sun and sometimes a little farther away. You got it right. And this is where the second law
18:42comes in, the law of areas. What does the law of areas say? It
18:47may sound a little difficult to hear but its meaning is simple. See, when the planet
18:52is near the sun, it moves fast. Fast?
18:55Yes. And when it is far away, it slows down. This happens in such a way that if we
19:00think of a line connecting the planet and the sun, then that line
19:05covers equal area in equal time. Meaning the speed keeps changing.
19:09Oh wow, this is very interesting that their speed also does not remain the same. Ok and
19:15the third law. The third rule is the law of time periods. It
19:20is a little mathematical but very useful. Tell me.
19:23It tells that the time taken by a planet to complete one revolution around the sun,
19:29which we call time period or T. Yes, the period of revolution. Yes, its square, that is
19:36t², is directly proportional to the average distance of that planet from the sun, say r, its cube, that is r
19:43. Meaning t square is directly related
19:48to r. t² proportional r is absolutely correct. And with the help of this law,
19:53scientists are able to find out the distances of planets and the time of their rotation very accurately
19:59. Kepler linked the measurements with mathematics. Wow, this is
20:04about the motion of planets. Ah, now let's come to our Earth. Is there a difference between the speed of planets and the speed of planets everywhere on Earth?
20:10Is the small g of gravity the same? I thought yes, it
20:15would be the same. No, it is not so. There is a slight difference
20:18. The value of g changes a little bit on the earth as well.
20:22Well, where is it more, where is it less? Look, it is the highest at the poles
20:27. And the lowest at the equator. Why is it so? There
20:32are two reasons for this. One is that our earth is not completely round. It
20:37is a little flat at the poles and a little raised at the equator. So at the poles you
20:42are closer to the center. Oh the distance is reduced.
20:45Yes. And the second reason is the rotation of the earth. Its effect is more at the equator,
20:51which reduces the gravity a little.
20:54Got it? Okay. And if we go above the surface of the earth, say
21:00on a high mountain or in an airplane, yes, good question, even then the value of g will keep decreasing
21:05because
21:06we are going further away from the center of the earth, right? And we have already seen
21:10in the universal law that the pull decreases as the distance increases.
21:14Yes, yes, that is correct. And what about the moon, I have heard that there is very little gravity there
21:19. Yes, this is absolutely true. And this
21:22is often asked in exams. Look, the mass of the moon
21:27is much less than the earth. So the pull will also be less.
21:30Absolutely. That is why its gravity is also less. How much?
21:35About one sixth of the gravity of the earth, that is one sixth. Only one sixth, that is why those astronauts
21:41are seen bouncing like this there. Yes, because the force pulling them down
21:45is very weak. This is the thing about ji. But
21:49we feel one effect of gravity every moment. Our weight. Are
21:55weight and mass the same thing? Sometimes there is confusion in this.
22:00Yes, this is a very common confusion. But this is different. Look, mass tells
22:07how much stuff is there in a thing? How much matter is there. This never changes. Now go anywhere
22:13. Okay. Mass always remains the same.
22:16Yes. But weight is that force. It is the force by which the earth or any other planet or
22:23moon is pulling that thing towards its center. Its formula is w = mg
22:30. So g comes in weight. Correct and because g changes according to the place
22:36as we have just seen. So this means that weight can also change.
22:40Your weight will be different on the earth. It will be much less on the moon because g is less there but
22:46your mass will be the same at both places. It is very important to understand this difference. Well, there
22:51are some other concepts which are related to gravity.
22:55Yes, there are some other things too. Like there is relative density and there
23:01is the principle of Archimedes. Archimedes Principle.
23:03Yes, it is probably related to floating things.
23:06Yes. Especially when we see the behavior of things in liquids. There
23:10gravity i.e. weight and buoyancy force both work together. But these
23:16are big topics in themselves. Perhaps we can talk about them comfortably some other time.
23:20Absolutely, today we understood a lot about the universal law of gravitation. Then
23:26Kepler's laws which tell us the speed of the planets. We
23:29also saw how g changes on the earth and away from it. And most importantly,
23:35the difference between weight and mass. All these things are not only useful for exams
23:40but also help in understanding the world around us, our universe.
23:45Definitely and before leaving he leaves a question for all the listeners.
23:50Yes. Just imagine if in future we humans
23:53are able to control gravity. Meaning we can increase or decrease it as per our wish.
23:58Oh wow. So imagine how much our world, our technology, our ways of commuting, everything
24:03will change, what will happen then, what do you think, if you want you can tell us your thoughts,
24:08now my next topic is work and energy. Work and energy is such a topic in physics from which
24:16questions are made in competitive exams, be it SSC or UPSC or State PCS,
24:22so it is very important to understand it
24:25and today we will see in it what is work?
24:31What is energy? Then what does the law of conservation of energy say?
24:34Yes, the law of conservation of energy. Yes. And how do the forms of energy change?
24:39We will also see some important examples of this which come in exams.
24:42Ok. And yes, power, thrust
24:45and pressure. We will also understand the basic things of these. Definition, units and
24:51what is the difference between them? Yes. Because they
24:55often question small details . So let's start with work.
25:01When is work considered in the language of physics? Does it mean that work is done just by working hard?
25:05No, no, this is a very common misunderstanding. See, in physics, work means work only when
25:11It will be considered done when two things happen. Two things. Which ones?
25:15First, force is applied on an object. And second,
25:21the object moves from its place due to that force. Meaning there is displacement in it.
25:26Well, it means that just applying force is not enough. It is also necessary for the object to move. Like, if
25:32you push a wall, it does not move. Absolutely. So even if you are sweating profusely,
25:37if the wall does not move, physics will say that the work done is zero. Zero work.
25:42Got it. Force is required and so is displacement. Okay? And this work, does it
25:48have any direction or just quantity? Work has only quantity. It does not
25:53have any direction. That is why we call it a scalar quantity.
25:57Scalar quantity. Meaning, we will just say that 5 joules of work was done. Not whether it
26:02was done in the north direction or in the south direction. Absolutely correct.
26:05Okay. Now the thing that is needed to do work is energy. Energy.
26:11Is this it? Yes, absolutely. This is the definition of energy.
26:14Capacity to do work. One who has energy
26:20can do work. And what is it measured in? Its SI
26:23unit? Its SI unit is Joule which we
26:27write with capital J. The unit of work is also Joule.
26:32Well, Joule for both and if we see, the biggest source of energy on earth
26:37is the Sun, right? All the energy is coming from there in a way.
26:40Yes, absolutely. The Sun is our ultimate source of energy on earth. Now look, there
26:45is a very fundamental law related to energy, the law of
26:52conservation of energy. Yes, I have heard this a lot. I also
26:55read it in school. But what does it actually mean? Let me explain it a little more easily.
26:59It simply means that you can neither create energy nor destroy it completely
27:05. Okay.
27:07That means energy just changes its form. It converts from one form to another
27:14. The total energy of the universe always remains constant.
27:19Wow, that means energy is neither created nor destroyed, it only changes form.
27:24Exactly this is the law of conservation of energy. Think of some examples of this
27:29from the life of a bojmara. There are so many. Look at the most common one.
27:33Dynamo or generator. Generators run in weddings, right?
27:37Yes, of course. What does it do? It runs on diesel.
27:41That means it takes mechanical energy. Mechanical energy and gives us electricity. That means it
27:46converts it into electrical energy.
27:49And the motor installed in our homes to fill the water tank does exactly the
27:53opposite. Are you right? It takes electricity, that means electrical
27:57energy and lifts water up or turns the fan, that means it produces mechanical energy
28:02? Amazing.
28:03And as I am speaking right now, this microphone,
28:06yes this microphone is taking your voice which is sound energy and
28:11is converting it into small electrical signals. Into electrical energy.
28:15And then the loudspeaker converts the same electrical signal back
28:20into sound energy. But loudly so that everyone can hear. What does the bulb burning in the house
28:24do? It takes electricity, electrical energy and
28:29gives light, light energy. Yes, but it also gets hot
28:32, right? Try touching it sometime. Yes, yes it does get hot.
28:35So it means that it is not only converting
28:41electrical energy into light energy but also some part of it into heat energy.
28:44Ok. So the energy got divided into two parts. It was not destroyed on light and heat.
28:49Not at all. Just changed its form. And yes, that thin wire that shines inside the bulb,
28:54filament, which metal is it made of? This question also comes up a lot.
28:58Yes, I have read this. It is probably made of tungsten with the symbol W.
29:03That's right. Tungsten W has a very high melting point. That is why
29:09it can withstand so much heat and light. It does not melt.
29:12These small things are worth noting. Ok, now let's talk about power.
29:18How is power different from energy? See, energy tells how much work can be done. Whereas
29:24power tells how fast the work is being done. It means
29:30the rate of doing work. Ok, rate means it is a game of time here.
29:33Yes. If two machines do the same work, but one does it in half the time,
29:40then its power is more. Got it. Just like
29:45the power of vehicles is measured in horsepower. Yes, horsepower is also a very popular unit of power.
29:49However, the SI unit is watt. Okay. Now there are two more terms.
29:56Thrust and pressure. What is the big deal in these? Look, thrust
30:01is actually a kind of force. Just a special kind of force. How is it special?
30:05When a force is applied on a surface, perpendicular to a 90° angle.
30:12Perpendicular. Yes, perpendicular. So that perpendicular
30:16force is called thrust. So since it is a force, its unit will also
30:20be Newton. It is Newton. And since it is a force, it
30:25is a vector quantity. Vector quantity, its direction is always perpendicular to the surface.
30:32Okay. Now you understand thrust. Now what is this pressure? Pressure
30:39is a little different. It tells how much perpendicular force i.e. thrust is being applied on a unit area of a surface
30:46. Force per unit area
30:53Force upon area fa Yes, basically the same, we
30:59do not have its definition in detail right now. But it is important to know that pressure is a scalar quantity.
31:06Scalar quantity. Hey, thrust was a vector, but how is pressure scalar?
31:11Yes, it seems a little confusing in the beginning, but pressure does not have any specific direction
31:17. It is applied on the surface from all sides. Therefore, we consider it as scalar.
31:22Well, this point is worth noting. So today we
31:28saw many good examples of work, energy, law of conservation of energy and transformation of energy. Dynamo, generator, motor, mike,
31:34speaker, bulb. Yes. And we also understood the basics of power, which
31:39is the rate of work, thrust, which is perpendicular force and pressure, which is force per unit area
31:47. All these concepts
31:50are very, very important for competitive exams. Direct questions are made from these.
31:54Absolutely. So, what are the listeners' thoughts on this topic? Can you
32:00think of any other example of energy transformation which is often asked in exams?
32:05Do tell us in the comments. And just think, every moment, every
32:11second, energy is changing its form in so many ways around us and we probably
32:15do not even realize it. This is the beauty of physics. We will meet again in the next session with a new interesting
32:21topic. Now my next topic is sound. First of all, it is important to understand
32:29how this sound is produced? Yes, so this is a very simple thing. It is produced
32:36from vibration. Yes, because of vibration
32:39. Whenever something vibrates, that is, it moves rapidly, then it
32:45also vibrates the particles of air in the medium around it, for example, if it is air, then it also vibrates.
32:50Okay. And this disturbance, this vibration keeps moving forward and becomes a sound wave
32:57. So it moves forward in the form of waves. And
33:00I have heard that these sound waves are mechanical waves. What
33:04does this mean? Yes, absolutely mechanical wave means that they
33:10need some medium to propagate in order to move.
33:14Medium means like
33:16air, water or any solid thing, iron, wood, anything.
33:21Okay. That is why it is said that sound cannot be heard in the vacuum of space
33:26. Yes, because there is no medium there.
33:28Exactly. There is no air there, nothing. So sound waves cannot move.
33:34In air, these waves usually move longitudinally.
33:39Longitudinal means the vibration of the particles is in the direction of the movement of the wave.
33:44Yes, exactly in the same direction, forward and backward. Okay. So do mechanical waves
33:48need a medium? But are there waves that do not need a medium?
33:52Yes, yes, of course. We call them non-mechanical waves or
33:57sometimes electromagnetic waves. Ok.
33:59They do not need any medium to travel. They can travel in vacuum as well.
34:04Any example of this?
34:05The best example is light. Light waves. How does light
34:10travel from the sun to the earth? There is vacuum in between. Yes, that is correct.
34:14So light is a non-mechanical wave and sound is a mechanical wave, this is a basic difference.
34:20Of course it is important to know this. Ok, so sound is a mechanical wave. It needs a medium. Now
34:26let us come to some more of its features. Like can we hear all kinds of sounds?
34:31No, absolutely not. Our human ears have a limit. There is a range of frequencies
34:37that we can hear. It is called the audible range, right?
34:40Yes, the audible range and it is approximately from 20 Hz to
34:4620,000 Hz. 20 to 20,000 Hz. Hertz means
34:50the unit of frequency. Yes, frequency.
34:55How many vibrations are happening in one second? The higher the frequency, the thinner or sharper the sound
35:00is, which we call pitch. Okay. So if it is less than 20 Hz, then
35:06the sound with frequency less than 20 Hz is called infrasonic sound. Infra
35:10means below. Infrasonic and the one above 20,000 Hz
35:14. That is called ultrasonic sound. Ultra
35:17means above. Infrasonic and ultrasonic. And we humans
35:21cannot hear both of them. No, our range is only that from 20 to 2000. But
35:27This does not mean that infrasonic or ultrasonic is useless.
35:30Yes, it is. I have heard especially about ultrasonic that it
35:34has many uses. Yes, of course ultrasonic sound
35:37is very useful. Even if we do not hear it, there are some creatures like bats, dolphins.
35:42Yes, bats and dolphins. Yes, they produce it and also use it
35:47. It is called echo location in finding the way, hunting.
35:52Echo location. Yes. And the specialty of ultrasonic is its
35:56high frequency. And because of this its penetrating power, that is,
36:01the ability to enter inside things is very good. Especially in soft tissues
36:06. Ability to penetrate inside. So then it means
36:09that it must be used to see inside the body. In the medical field?
36:13You got it right. Ultrasonic waves are used a lot in the medical field.
36:18Which we call ultrasound in common language, right?
36:21Yes, yes ultrasound is very common. That is the same technique, like
36:26it is used to see the growth and development of the fetus
36:31growing in the womb . How does it work? See, high frequency ultrasonic waves
36:37are sent inside the body. They bounce back after colliding with the internal organs. The machine
36:43captures those bounced back waves and creates an image on the screen.
36:47Ok. So, it is safe too. I mean, it does not contain radiation like X-rays?
36:51Yes, it is non-invasive and is generally considered quite safe. It
36:57does not contain ionizing radiation like X-rays. That is why it is used a lot during pregnancy
37:02. What other uses does it have?
37:04There are other uses too like detecting kidney stones. And sometimes,
37:09high intensity ultrasound can even break those stones without surgery.
37:14Wow. This is amazing. Yes. And
37:19ultrasound is also very helpful in checking the condition of other organs of the body like liver, gall bladder.
37:23Hmm. By the way, here is a very important thing that everyone
37:27should know. What? In India , it is completely banned to
37:32use ultrasound to determine the sex of the baby before birth
37:37, that is, whether it is a boy or a girl
37:41. It is illegal. Yes, this is very important information. The PCPNDT Act
37:45is a law to prevent its misuse. Absolutely. Its purpose
37:49is to limit it to medical tests only. Got it? Well ,
37:54let's talk about two more common phenomena related to sound. One is resonance which is called echo and the other
37:58is reverberation. Yes, echo and reverberation.
38:02Everyone must have felt echo. If you shout loudly in a hilly area, your
38:08own voice comes back after some time. Why does this happen?
38:11Echo is the reflection of sound. That means due to reflection.
38:15Reflection is like the reflection of light from a mirror.
38:18Yes, something like that. When our voice, that is, sound waves, collide with a distant surface like a
38:24mountain or a big wall and reach our ears, then
38:30after our original voice, we hear a clear copy of it. This is called echo.
38:35Well, then what is a clear copy and reverberation? How is it different from echo?
38:40Reverberation is also a reflection. But it is not a single reflection. This is
38:47the repeated reflection of sound . Multiple reflections.
38:51Multiple? How? Imagine you are in a large empty hall
38:55in an auditorium. When you speak, the sound does not
39:00hit only the wall in front. It hits the ceiling, floor, side walls, everywhere again and again.
39:07Yes, the sound echoes in the empty room. Absolutely. This sound persisting for a long time
39:12due to the mixing of multiple reflections is called reverberation.
39:19In echo, you hear the original sound and the reflected sound separately clearly.
39:24In reverberation, the sound seems mixed and persists for a long time. It persists.
39:30So that is why in concert halls or cinema halls,
39:35some material is probably applied on the walls so that the sound does not echo too much. Yes,
39:39acoustics are taken care of there. Such things are installed that absorb the sound
39:44so that reverberation remains under control and the sound is heard clearly.
39:50Got it? Echo means single clear reflection and reverberation means
39:55the persistence of sound due to multiple mixed reflections. Perfect.
39:58Now let's come to another very important technology. Which
40:03is also based on sound waves. Sonar. What is this? Sonar. Sonar. This is a very important
40:09technology. Especially for the Navy or for marine exploration.
40:13Is there a full form of sonar? Yes, there is and it is good to remember it.
40:18We ask in exams. Its full name is Sound Navigation and Ranging.
40:23Sound Navigation and Ranging. Okay. So as the name suggests, this
40:27is a system that uses sound waves
40:33to detect objects underwater, to know their distance, ranging
40:37and direction, navigation. Underwater? How? Ultrasonic waves are usually used in this.
40:43These waves are sent into the water from a ship or submarine. They
40:46are transmitted. Okay?
40:48Now these waves travel in water. If there is an object below like another submarine or
40:54a sunken ship or a big rock or even a school of fish, then these waves
41:00will collide with that object. And after colliding, they will come back like an echo.
41:03Yes, of course. They come back after colliding. There is a detector in the sonar system which
41:09catches these returned waves i.e. echo. Then how is the distance known?
41:14The time interval between sending the waves and their return is measured
41:21and we know the speed of sound in water. So the distance
41:27is calculated from time and speed. Okay, so now we know the time, now we know the speed,
41:30so we get the distance. Yes. The time taken tells us
41:34how far the object is. It is somewhat similar to how bats find out from echo location
41:39. Wow, that means sonar is a kind of eyes to see in the darkness of water
41:43. You can say that it is very important for navigation, map
41:48making and security. So today we have covered a lot about sound
41:52. It is produced by vibration. It is a mechanical wave which needs a medium. We
41:58talked about the audible range i.e. 20 to 20,000 Hz.
42:03Understood infrasonic and ultrasonic. Yes. And saw the medical uses of ultrasound
42:06like monitoring the fetus, detecting and breaking kidney stones and the important thing
42:12that its use in gender determination is banned. Absolutely. Then we understood the difference between echo and reverberation
42:17. Reflection of sound and finally talked about sonar technology. That is sound
42:23navigation and ranging which detects objects under water.
42:27Yes. Really, this world of sound waves is so amazing. Isn't it? How useful are
42:33these invisible waves to us
42:35? Yes, that is true. Ever think about the incredible ways in which these waves
42:40can be used in the future. Who knows, maybe some other big breakthrough in communication or medicine
42:45is related to these waves. Maybe such things which we cannot even imagine today. It
42:50is something to think about. What other uses can sound waves have in the future
42:54? What do you think? Do tell us in the comments below.
42:58Now my next topic is reflection of light.
43:01Yes. This is the thing due to which we
43:04are able to see most of the things around us. Yes, absolutely.
43:07We know that light is a form of energy. Isn't it?
43:10And it moves like waves.
43:13That's right. And when these light waves hit any surface
43:17, they often come back. Okay. This process is called
43:22reflection of light.
43:26Yes, for example, suppose a ball hits a wall and comes back, something like that.
43:30So does every surface reflect light or only some special surfaces?
43:36See, almost all do. But yes, some surfaces are better than others
43:40in this task. For example?
43:41For example, surfaces that are very smooth and shiny. Suppose there is some polished metal or
43:47glass with a silver-like coating on the back. Yes, yes.
43:50They reflect light very well. And these are what we
43:55call mirrors. That is a plane mirror. That is, plane mirror.
43:59Absolutely correct. There are some special things about plane mirrors which are often asked in exams
44:03. What is that?
44:04First of all, whatever distance you stand at from the mirror, your image
44:10will be formed at that distance behind the mirror. Well, that is, object distance and image distance
44:15are equal. Object distance is equal to image distance.
44:18Absolutely. And secondly, the size of the image will be exactly equal to the size of the object.
44:23Neither small nor big. Yes. And this image is always straight.
44:27What is called erect and
44:30it is virtual. Virtual means virtual. What does this exactly mean? Will you explain it a little?
44:35Yes, definitely. See, a virtual image is that which we cannot take on a screen.
44:40Like we can't project it on a wall or on a screen.
44:44Well, it just looks like it's inside a mirror. Like when you
44:48see your face in a mirror, it's virtual. You can't project it on a wall.
44:52Got it? And there's another property, maybe laterally inverted.
45:00What's that? Yes, it's very interesting. Lateral inversion
45:03means that in the mirror, the right side of the object appears on the left.
45:08And the left one is right. Yes and the left one is right. Have you ever noticed
45:13that if you move your right hand in front of the mirror, then your reflection in the mirror
45:18appears to be moving its left hand. Oh yes, you are right.
45:21And ambulance is written upside down on ambulance vehicles.
45:24Yes yes, I have seen it. It is so that when the driver of the vehicle ahead
45:28looks in his mirror, it can be read straight.
45:31This is a great practical example of this lateral inversion.
45:34Wow, this is an amazing connection. Well, this was about plane mirrors.
45:40Are there other types of mirrors? Of course, there are. There
45:44are also spherical mirrors. Spherical means round?
45:47Yes, whose reflecting surface is not flat but round. As if a part of a hollow sphere
45:53has been cut. Hmm.
45:54These are also of two types mainly. Which ones?
45:56One is concave mirror and the other is convex mirror
46:02. Concave and convex.
46:04What is the difference between them? How do they differ in appearance? See,
46:08the reflective surface of a concave mirror is sunken inwards. Like a cave.
46:13Well, concave like a cave. Yes. And what it does is that it
46:18collects the rays of light at one place. It converges.
46:21And the surface of a convex mirror is raised outwards
46:24and it spreads the light rays. That means it diverges.
46:29So obviously the images formed by them will also be of different types. You
46:33had mentioned virtual image earlier. Are there any other types as well?
46:37Yes, the second type is real image. Real image.
46:41Actual real image. This is exactly opposite to virtual. It
46:46can be projected on a screen. That means you can project it on a screen
46:49. Well.
46:50And this image is always formed upside down. Yes.
46:53Inverted. So which mirror forms what kind of image?
46:57See, a concave mirror can form both real and virtual images
47:03. It depends on how far the object is placed from the mirror.
47:07Well, it depends on the distance. Yes. Whereas a convex mirror always
47:12forms a virtual, erect and smaller image than the object.
47:15Always. Yes. A convex mirror always
47:19forms a virtual, erect and diminished image. This is a lot of information. Well,
47:24where will this image be formed? How big will it be? There must be some mathematical methods to find out all this
47:29. I have heard some letters like u, v, f, r in reference to these.
47:36Absolutely. These are some standard symbols that
47:41are used in the calculations of images formed by mirrors. U is the object distance from the mirror,
47:46okay? V is the image distance from the mirror,
47:49u is the object distance, v is the image distance.
47:53Yes. f is the focal length of the mirror. In a way, it tells
48:00how much the mirror bends the light, how much it converges or diverges.
48:04And r is the radius of curvature.
48:08That means the radius of the sphere of which the mirror is a part, and there is a relation between them. r
48:14is always equal to 2F. The radius of curvature is twice the focal length.
48:19r = 2f Got it? And is there some plus-minus involved with this? Any sign
48:24convention? Yes, of course. Sign convention
48:29is very important for correct calculations. It is just a set of rules so that we
48:33can give the correct sign plus or minus to distances and heights.
48:36What kind of rule? Generally it is believed that
48:40any distance measured in the direction of light will be positive.
48:43And in the opposite direction of light it will be negative. And because
48:47the object is always placed in front of the mirror. From where the light is coming, the object
48:52distance u is always taken as negative. u is always negative.
48:57And talking about the focal length f, it is negative for concave mirror
49:02and positive for convex mirror.
49:05Well f is negative for concave, positive for convex.
49:10Yes, these signs tell us in the end whether the image is real or virtual.
49:16Is it straight or inverted? So this sign convention
49:21is very important to reach the correct result. Even if we
49:26don't go into the details of the formula right now, this is very important to know. Absolutely. And yes,
49:32the uses of these mirrors are countless. From shaving mirrors to side mirrors of cars, in headlights,
49:37telescopes, many places. Although our listeners are not focusing
49:42too much on specific examples right now . Hmm. So we have covered a lot today.
49:47What is reflection of light? Then plane mirrors and their image properties, especially the
49:52virtual and inverted side view. Yes and then spherical mirrors, concave and convex.
49:58How do they converge or diverge the light?
50:02And what are the differences between them? And what are the real vs virtual images? Which one is upside down, which one is straight
50:08? And finally, we
50:12also talked about what is UVF R and what is the importance of sign convention.
50:15Absolutely, now the thing for the listeners to think about is that
50:20where do they see these different types of mirrors around them in their daily lives?
50:24Yes, have you ever wondered about your face on the inside and outside of a steel spoon
50:29? Why does it look upside down in one and straight in the other? Those are also concave and convex
50:33surfaces. You are right. Find these principles of reflection
50:37in the world around you . What do you think? Do tell us in the comments.
50:43Hello. Now my next topic is refraction of light.
50:49You know this is a very important topic for exams like SSC, UPSC.
50:53And the interesting thing is that it is also seen a lot in our daily world.
50:57So let's talk a little about this today. Yes, absolutely. Today we will try
51:02to understand what is this refraction? What are the rules behind it?
51:07What are the principles? And this term refractive
51:11index, right? What is refractive index?
51:14And yes, we will also talk about lenses. I mean, how many types are there in the basic things?
51:19How do they work? Yes, I mean, we will try to
51:22make everything clear in very simple language. Absolutely.
51:24Let's start first of all, what is this refraction?
51:31In very simple words. Understand it like this. Suppose light
51:35is moving in a straight line in the air. Okay?
51:38Now as soon as it enters any other thing like water or a piece of glass,
51:45it bends a little. Okay. It
51:47changes its path a little. Okay.
51:50This bending is called refraction of light.
51:53Okay. You can also think of it like this, suppose there is a line of soldiers. They
52:00are marching on a completely paved road. And suddenly they have to get into the mud.
52:05Okay. So what will happen? Their speed will decrease, right?
52:08Yes, it will decrease. And it is possible that the direction of the line
52:12may also become a little crooked. Something similar happens with light when the medium changes.
52:17Ok. So this whole game is about changing the medium. But what happens when the medium changes is that
52:21the light bends. Does speed have anything to do with it?
52:24The main reason is the same. The speed of light is different
52:32in different mediums like air, water, glass.
52:35Ok. Yes, light moves the fastest in air or vacuum. But as soon as it
52:40goes into a denser medium like water or glass, its speed decreases
52:46. Ok.
52:48And this reduction in speed forces it to bend. And
52:53the lesser the speed in the medium, the more it will bend.
52:57Oh wow. That means if the speed decreases, the path changes. It is very logical. But is there
53:02any rule or regulation for this or does it just bend anywhere like this?
53:07No no, not like this. There are very firm rules for this. There are two main rules.
53:11What are they? The first law says that the incoming
53:15ray is the incident ray.
53:18Yes, the incident ray. And the ray after bending is the refracted
53:24ray. We
53:27draw a perpendicular line on a surface, normal, normal, all three are in the same plane. On the same plane.
53:33Okay? Did you understand the first law? And the second law is a little mathematical.
53:38It is called Snell's law. It tells the relation between
53:42the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction. That relation
53:48depends on the medium. We will not go into its mathematics now. But the point
53:51is that this bending is completely calculated. I did not
53:55understand it to be random, it means everything happens according to the rules. Well, let's take an example. Suppose the light
53:59is coming from the air and there is a rectangular piece of glass. The slab is passing through it.
54:06Then what will happen? Yes, this is a good question.
54:08See when the ray goes from air to glass. Air is a rarer medium,
54:14glass is denser, so the speed will decrease
54:18and it will bend towards the normal,
54:20okay, towards the normal, then it will move inside the glass,
54:23when it will reach the other side, that is, it will come out of the glass back into the air,
54:27so now it is going from denser to rarer, so the speed will increase again
54:32and this time it will move away from the normal, okay, first it bent towards the normal, then it
54:37moved away from the normal, and the result is that
54:40the ray that comes out at the end is parallel to the initial ray.
54:46The parallel just moves a little to the side from its place. Lateral displacement
54:52That is what we call it. I understand.
54:53It will come out parallel but a little differently. You said that the speed
54:57is less in a denser medium. It bends more. Can we measure how dense a medium is.
55:02I mean how much it will bend the light? Of course we can measure it. This is where the concept
55:07of refractive index comes in.
55:11Yes, I have heard of it. Or what is it?
55:13It is basically a number. It tells how much less is the speed of light in a medium compared to the speed of vacuum
55:19. Or in simple language, it is a measure of the power
55:25of that medium to bend light. Ok.
55:27Yes. The higher the refractive index, that is the refractive index,
55:33the more it will bend the light and the slower the light will travel in it. Like the refractive
55:39index of a diamond is very high. That is why it shines so much
55:43because of bending more. Yes, absolutely. The light bends more in it
55:46, gets trapped. There is also total internal reflection, so it shines. So the refractive index
55:52helps us to compare different mediums.
55:56Very good. Well, this light bending property is used in lenses,
56:00right? In glasses, in cameras. You got it right. This is what lenses do.
56:05What are lenses? A piece of transparent material like glass or plastic,
56:11at least one of whose surfaces is slightly curved.
56:15They use this law of refraction to bend light and
56:20form an image. There are two main types of lenses. Spherical lenses?
56:25Yes. How do you identify convex and concave?
56:29See, a convex lens means a convex lens is thick in the middle and thin at the edges.
56:35Well, thick in the middle. Yes. And what it does is that it
56:38collects the parallel light rays falling on it at one point, joins them.
56:43Converges them. That is why it is also called a converging lens or a converging lens
56:48. Okay? A converging and concave
56:51concave concave lens. A concave lens. Its opposite is thin
56:55in the middle and thick at the edges. Okay.
56:58And it spreads the parallel light rays. It diverges them. That is why it is
57:03called a diverging lens. Converging and diverging. Did you understand?
57:09And what is the difference in the images it forms?
57:11The difference is that a convex lens means convex. It can form different types
57:18of images depending on where the object is placed. It can also form a real image which is upside down and a virtual image
57:23which is straight.
57:25Whereas a concave lens mostly
57:32forms a virtual straight image which is smaller than the object. So there is a difference in the type of image as well.
57:35Where are they used? I mean apart from glasses?
57:39Well, glasses are used in many places to correct eyesight. Then they are found in cameras.
57:43Yes, in cameras. In binoculars, telescopes,
57:47to see distant objects, in microscopes, to see small objects by enlarging them. The
57:52magnifying glass, right? Yes, yes, that is also a lens.
57:55Of course, that is also a convex lens. So there are many uses.
58:00Okay, one last question, what does it mean
58:05when we say that the number of glasses or the power of the lens ? The power of the lens means
58:11how much the lens can bend the rays of light. It means how much it
58:17can converge or diverge. Okay, the ability to bend.
58:19Yes, that is the unit to measure it. We write it as Diopter D.
58:25Okay, Diopter G. The power of a convex lens is positive
58:29because it converges and the power of a concave lens is negative because it
58:35diverges. The higher the number or power, the more it
58:40will bend the rays. It is absolutely clear. So, today we
58:43understood a lot of things related to refraction. Why does it happen? Its rules, then
58:48what is the role of refractive index? And how do lenses, convex, concave, work? Where
58:55are they used? And what does their power mean? All these points
59:00are very important from the exam point of view. Yes, these are fundamentals and you
59:02should have a good grasp on them. Well, before leaving , I leave
59:07a thought-provoking thing for the listeners . What other examples of refraction do you see in everyday life
59:13? For example, why does a pencil placed in water look bent or
59:18why do stars twinkle at night? Have you ever thought about it? Or think about how lenses of different power
59:23change the way we see? How does the world look different?
59:27Yes, of course. What do you think? Do tell us about this or today's discussion in the comments
59:33. Hello. In the preparation of competitive exams, a very
59:38important part of science is the human eye and the events related to light. Today we will talk about this.
59:44We will talk a little deeper. Yes, absolutely.
59:46The information we have means the structure of the eye. Then we will try to understand the common vision defects
59:52and some miracles of light like refraction, scattering
59:58in simple language. Yes, the effort will be to make this an interesting conversation and not
1:00:03just you know facts. Yes, absolutely. So now my next topic is
1:00:07the structure of the eye. Let's start from the very outside with the cornea.
1:00:11Okay cornea. Yes, this is the outermost layer of the eye which is transparent. Like a window.
1:00:18Okay. This is where the light enters and bends for the first time. That means refraction
1:00:24starts from here. And I have heard that in eye donation only
1:00:27the cornea means that only that is transplanted.
1:00:29Yes, this is absolutely correct. Actually there are no blood vessels in it, so transplant
1:00:35means transplant is easy. Okay.
1:00:37And just behind the cornea is the aqueous humor. This is a kind of fluid.
1:00:43It nourishes the cornea and
1:00:46helps in maintaining the shape of the eye. You can say that it also keeps the eye pressure balanced
1:00:51. Did you understand? And then comes the coloured part,
1:00:53the iris. Absolutely.
1:00:55Like some people have blue eyes, some have brown eyes, this is the work of the iris.
1:00:59Absolutely. The iris decides the colour of the eye. And it also works like a muscle.
1:01:04Muscle? How? That round black place in the middle,
1:01:07the pupil, controls its size. Well,
1:01:10like the aperture of a camera. Yes, it is a very good example. Exactly like that,
1:01:14if there is more light, the iris contracts the pupil. It expands it in less light
1:01:19so that the right amount of light enters the eye.
1:01:22So, that means the pupil becomes very small in bright sunlight.
1:01:25Absolutely correct. And in less light, like in a dark room, it expands. Right behind the pupil
1:01:31is our lens. The lens of the eye. A lens. It is a convex lens
1:01:37. Its work is to bend the incoming light rays and focus them at one place.
1:01:42And that place is the retina. I have heard a lot about it. That means the picture is formed here.
1:01:47Yes, you can say that. Retina is like a curtain or screen in the back part of the eye
1:01:52. It is here that the real but inverted image of any object is formed. It is
1:01:57inverted but we see it straight. Yes, that is because the most important work of retina
1:02:01is yet to be done. It converts the image formed from this light energy into electrical signal
1:02:07. Ok. And then this signal
1:02:11is carried to the brain through the optic nerve and the brain straightens it and shows it to us.
1:02:15Amazing but there is also a blind spot where nothing is visible.
1:02:19Yes, there is. At the particular place where the optic nerve joins the retina, there are no cells that sense light,
1:02:25i.e. rods and cocoons.
1:02:28Even if light falls there, its signal
1:02:32does not reach the brain. We
1:02:34call it blind spot. Got it. Ok,
1:02:38let me tell you about another amazing ability of the eye. Power of accommodation. What is this?
1:02:43Yes, this is very important. There are ciliary muscles in our eyes which
1:02:49can change the thickness of the lens. Ok.
1:02:51Yes. When we see a nearby object, these muscles contract and make the lens thicker
1:02:57. The focal length decreases. When we look at a distant object, it becomes loose.
1:03:03The lens becomes thin. The focal length increases.
1:03:06Oh wow, it means like autofocus. Absolutely. Because of this adjustment, we
1:03:12are able to see clearly both near and far. And for a healthy eye, the minimum
1:03:18distance considered for clear viewing is about 25 cm. Okay. This is about normal eyes.
1:03:24But sometimes some problems also occur. These are called vision defects. The most
1:03:29common is probably myopia. Nearsightedness. Yes, myopia or nearsightedness
1:03:36is very common. In this, the nearby objects are visible clearly, but the far objects appear blurred.
1:03:41Why does this happen? Because in this, the light coming from outside,
1:03:45instead of focusing on the retina, focuses a little before the retina.
1:03:50The image is formed first. Okay.
1:03:52So then the treatment is to wear glasses. Yes. For this, glasses with concave lenses
1:03:57are used. Its power is in negative minus. This lens spreads the rays
1:04:03a little so that they focus on the right place i.e. the retina.
1:04:07Okay? And hypermetropia is just the opposite. Farsightedness is
1:04:12absolutely correct. In this, one can see clearly at a distance but there
1:04:17is a problem in seeing things near. There is blurriness. And in this, the rays
1:04:20go behind the retina and get focused.
1:04:23Well, a convex lens is required for this. The one with positive power
1:04:27bends it and brings it to the retina. This often means that after the age of 40, it becomes difficult to see more.
1:04:33You get it. And there is also a presbyopia. Does it
1:04:36happen with increasing age? Yes, it is called presbyopia. With increasing age,
1:04:41just as the rest of the body changes, the lens of the eye also becomes a little stiff.
1:04:46Its flexibility decreases. And the ciliary muscles also become weak
1:04:51. So the accommodative ability to focus near and far reduces. Especially it
1:04:58is difficult to focus on near objects. What kind of glasses are needed for this? For this,
1:05:02bifocal lenses are often used in which the upper part is concave or plane for far and
1:05:08the lower part is for near. Well, now I understand those two-part glasses
1:05:13and glaucoma and trichoma are also heard a lot.
1:05:16Absolutely yes, these are a little serious problems. In both, the pressure inside the eye increases
1:05:22which can damage the optic nerve. Glaucoma is often genetic.
1:05:27Meaning it runs in the family and gradually weakens the eyesight.
1:05:31And trachoma is a bacterial infection. Another
1:05:35condition is color blindness. Yes, colour blindness.
1:05:39It is mostly genetic. In this, there is some deficiency in the colour-recognising cells in the retina,
1:05:45the cones. Especially , it becomes difficult to differentiate between red and green
1:05:51. Well, this is about the eyes and their defects. Now
1:05:55let us talk about light. Some of its interesting tricks like if you pass white light through a prism,
1:06:01seven colours emerge. VIBGYOR calls it dispersion. Isn't it?
1:06:05Yes, the dispersion prism divides white light into its seven component colours
1:06:12because each colour has a different wavelength and it bends at different
1:06:17angles in the prism. And rainbow is also formed because of this.
1:06:21Absolutely. The small drops of water left in the air after rain
1:06:26act like tiny prisms. When sunlight passes through them,
1:06:32both deflection and total internal reflection take place and we see a rainbow.
1:06:37Amazing. Well, one more question which has been in my mind since childhood. Why do stars
1:06:42twinkle at night? Do they really light up and go off?
1:06:44No, no. The stars are burning continuously. This twinkling
1:06:49is the effect of our earth's atmosphere. How is it the effect of atmosphere? See, our atmosphere
1:06:54is not calm. It has different layers of air whose temperature and density keep changing
1:07:01and they also keep moving.
1:07:03When the light coming directly from the stars passes through these moving layers of different densities,
1:07:08it changes its path again and again. That means it gets refracted. This is
1:07:14called atmospheric refraction. Okay. Because of this constant change in path,
1:07:19we feel that the star is twinkling. Sometimes the light comes more, sometimes less.
1:07:24Got it? So it is the effect of this atmospheric refraction that
1:07:31we can see the sun a little before sunrise and a little after sunset.
1:07:33Yes, absolutely. Early sunrise and delayed sunset
1:07:40are examples of atmospheric refraction. The light bends and reaches us.
1:07:43And why does the sky look blue? This is also a very common question.
1:07:46This happens due to scattering of light.
1:07:50Scattering means scattering. Yes, when the sunlight
1:07:57collides with very small particles of air present in the atmosphere like nitrogen, oxygen molecules, then it gets scattered. Now
1:08:04the wavelength of blue and violet colour means the wavelength is the shortest. The rule
1:08:11which is called Rayleigh scattering is that the light with short wavelength gets scattered the most
1:08:16. Our eyes are more sensitive to blue colour. That is why we
1:08:22see the sky as blue. Okay. So if there is no atmosphere like
1:08:26on the moon, then the sky will look black. Absolutely because there are no particles to scatter the light
1:08:30. And why does the sun look red in the morning and evening
1:08:34? Why not blue? Good question. In the morning and evening the sun
1:08:38is near the horizon. Isn't it? Yes.
1:08:40So its light has to travel a longer path in the atmosphere to reach us
1:08:47. Okay. In this long path, most of the blue
1:08:51and violet colour gets scattered on the way itself. But the red colour which
1:08:57has the longest wavelength gets scattered the least. So only that colour reaches us.
1:09:01Yes, only that colour is able to reach our eyes safely. That is why the sun and the sky around it
1:09:07appear red or orange to us. Got it? One last thing is total internal
1:09:13reflection. Total Internal Reflection or TIR what is it? Yes TIR
1:09:20is a special phenomenon of light. It occurs when a ray of light
1:09:26tries to pass from a denser medium like water or glass to a rarer medium like air.
1:09:33But if it hits at an angle greater than a certain angle which is called critical angle
1:09:38So instead of going into another medium, it returns completely
1:09:44back to the same denser medium . It gets reflected. Ok.
1:09:47That means it cannot come out at all. No, it gets completely reflected inside
1:09:52. This is called total internal reflection.
1:09:55Are there any examples of this in everyday life?
1:09:57Yes, absolutely. Like the mirage that is seen in the desert, the illusion of water.
1:10:02Or it happens because of this TIR.
1:10:05Layers of hot air act as dense and rarer medium.
1:10:08Ok. And
1:10:09the most important example is optical fiber cable.
1:10:13Yes, nowadays internet etc. works through this. Absolutely. Light
1:10:18signals are sent inside these cables. These signals collide with the inner surface of the fiber again and again through TIR
1:10:24and move forward. That too without losing much energy. That is why data can be sent very fast
1:10:31and over long distances through them. Did you understand everything, friend?
1:10:35Yes. And it is also so interesting to think about it. Isn't it? That on one hand TIR
1:10:41creates an illusion like a mirage in the desert and on the other hand the same principles
1:10:47are connecting the whole world through optical fibers. It has brought a revolution in communication. That
1:10:52's right. Who knows
1:10:55how many more places there would be in our daily life where these principles of physics are silently doing their work
1:11:01and we are not even aware of it. This is something to think about.
1:11:06What is your opinion on this? What do our listeners think? Do tell us in the comments. Let us
1:11:11end today's discussion here. Now my next topic is electricity
1:11:15. You know it is very important
1:11:18for competitive exams like SSC, UPSC, State PCS.
1:11:23Absolutely. So today we will try to understand some of its very basic
1:11:27but important principles so that the basics become absolutely clear
1:11:32. Yes, the foundation should be strong.
1:11:35Hmm. So where should we start? From the very basic. From electric
1:11:40charge. What is this? How many types are there? And then we will see
1:11:46what story happens when these charges start moving? That is, electric current. Then
1:11:52how do we measure it? What is its unit? Absolutely. And to move the charges, a
1:11:58kind of push is required, right? Yes, yes.
1:12:00We will also talk about that. Potential difference. What is this? How
1:12:05is it measured and it is very important to understand its unit.
1:12:08You are right and this is where a very famous rule, Ohm's Law, enters.
1:12:14Yes. This is the cornerstone. It
1:12:19tells the connection between potential difference and current. And then we will understand
1:12:25why there is an obstruction in the path of current which we call resistance. Resistance. Exactly
1:12:30and this is related to how different things i.e. substances behave with electricity
1:12:35? Which one lets it pass easily, conductor or conductor?
1:12:39Which one stops it completely? Insulator or bad
1:12:42conductor. And which one is in between?
1:12:44Yes, semiconductor. Oh wow.
1:12:46And if we get time, we will also see the ways of connecting resistances.
1:12:52What is the difference between series and parallel? Okay. So then what are you waiting for? Let's start
1:12:57with electric charge. Think about it. There
1:13:02are very small particles inside every substance. Yes,
1:13:04they have a special property - charge. And it is mainly of two types. One is positive
1:13:09and the other is negative. Yes, and their mutual behavior
1:13:15is very simple. But it is interesting. If there are similar charges, that is, two positive or two negative, then they
1:13:21do not like each other. They run away.
1:13:24Absolutely. This is called repulsion.
1:13:28But if a positive and a negative come close,
1:13:32then they become friends. They are pulled towards each other.
1:13:34Perfect attraction. And yes, the standard
1:13:40unit to measure this charge is Coulomb. It is written in C.
1:13:44Well, this is about the stationary charge, static.
1:13:49But the fun is when it moves. If this charge starts flowing in a line in a wire, say
1:13:54in a line, then what happens? Yes, exactly this flow is
1:14:00called electric current. Well,
1:14:04in very simple words, the amount of charge passing through a part of a wire in one second
1:14:10is electric current and there must be some device to measure it
1:14:14. Yes, definitely, an instrument called ammeter is used. It
1:14:19is connected in series in the circuit. Well, in series and its unit
1:14:23is ampere. We denote it by A.
1:14:28Okay. But a question comes to the mind. Why will these charges flow on their own? I mean
1:14:33why would they start moving while lying in the wire? There must be some reason.
1:14:36This is a very good question. They do not flow on their own. For them to flow, you can say, a kind of
1:14:41pressure or energy difference is required. Like the pressure in a water tank.
1:14:47Water flows from top to bottom. Understand it exactly like that. This is called
1:14:51potential difference. Just like water always flows from high pressure to low pressure,
1:14:56right? Yes. Similarly, charges also
1:14:58flow from a point with high potential to a point with low potential
1:15:04. This difference in potential is the potential difference.
1:15:07Okay. So, the work done to move one coulomb of charge from one point to another
1:15:14is the potential difference between those two points.
1:15:17Absolutely perfect. And to measure this, we use a voltmeter. And its
1:15:22SI unit is volt. It is represented by V. Hmm. So now we have V volt and I
1:15:29ampere. Is there any relation between them? This is where George Ohm comes in. Ohm's
1:15:34law. He told a very fundamental thing.
1:15:37What? He said that if the physical conditions of a conductor such as its temperature etc. do not
1:15:42change, right?
1:15:43Then the current I flowing through it
1:15:49is directly proportional to the potential difference V applied across its ends. It means directly proportional,
1:15:52i.e. if V is increased, I will also increase. If V is decreased, I will also decrease.
1:15:56Absolutely. V is proportional to I and when this proportionality is removed, a
1:16:01constant R comes. So the formula becomes V =
1:16:05IR. I have heard this a lot. So what is this R?
1:16:09This R is the resistance of the conductor. Its SI unit is ohm which we
1:16:15represent with the Greek letter omega. So what is this resistance actually
1:16:20? I mean what is its function? This is the property of the conductor which
1:16:25obstructs the flow of charge i.e. the path of the current. It obstructs.
1:16:28Okay. Like there are speed breakers on the road.
1:16:31Yes. Understand it as something like that. Here, if some garbage is stuck in the pipe, then
1:16:35the flow of water decreases, right? Yes, yes.
1:16:37Just like that. It prevents the current from flowing easily.
1:16:40Okay. So, it means that every object has different resistance.
1:16:44Absolutely. And on this basis, we divide the substances into three main categories.
1:16:49First conductors. These have less resistance.
1:16:54Very less. That is why they allow electricity to flow easily. Most metals like
1:17:00copper, silver, aluminum are all good conductors.
1:17:03Okay. The second one is bad conductors or insulators. Their
1:17:08resistance is very high. It means that they do not allow electricity to flow at all.
1:17:12Almost none. Like rubber, plastic, dry wood, glass. That is why there is a coating of plastic or rubber
1:17:19on the electric wires so that there is no electric shock.
1:17:22Yes, for safety. And what was the third one? The third one is
1:17:26semiconductors. These are very interesting. Their conductivity is less than conductors, but
1:17:31more than bad conductors. These are in between. Like?
1:17:35Silicon, Germanium. Today's entire electronics industry, your
1:17:40phones, laptops, computers, everything. It is based on these.
1:17:44Yes, it is based on these semiconductors. We can control their conductivity
1:17:49. This is their specialty. It is amazing. Now suppose I have
1:17:53more than one resistor. I mean resistors and I want to connect them in a circuit,
1:17:58then how can I connect them? Yes. There are two main ways of doing this. The first is
1:18:03series combination. How are they connected in this? In this, the resistances
1:18:07are connected end to end in a single line one after the other. Like train compartments.
1:18:12Well, what is special about this? The most important thing in this is that
1:18:17the current flowing through all the resistances remains the same. The current
1:18:21gets only one way to go. But the total voltage i.e. the potential difference increases in all.
1:18:27Okay. And the second way is parallel combination. In this, one end of all the resistances
1:18:31is connected to one point and the other end to another
1:18:36common point. Well, I mean side by side
1:18:39, yes you can say. In this the story gets reversed. Here the voltage potential difference on all the resistances
1:18:45remains the same. But the current
1:18:48increases. The total current comes and then it
1:18:53increases differently in each resistance according to its capacity. Like, the connections
1:18:58go to different houses through a water pipeline. Is the wiring of our houses done in this way, in parallel?
1:19:01Mostly yes, because we have to give the same voltage, like 220 volts, to all the appliances
1:19:07and we want that if one appliance is switched off, the other should not get switched off.
1:19:11That is correct. Well, does this resistance, this obstruction have any other effect
1:19:16? Yes, absolutely. A very important effect is
1:19:19the heating effect of electricity. Heating effect of electric current.
1:19:22That means the wire gets heated. Yes. When current
1:19:27passes through a wire with resistance, the wire starts heating up due to the obstruction. This electrical energy
1:19:33gets converted into heat energy. Well, this is why the bulb lights up and the heater
1:19:39gives heat. Absolutely. This is the principle
1:19:43behind heaters, electric irons, toasters, old filament bulbs etc. How hot
1:19:48it will get depends on the current, the resistance and for how long the current flows.
1:19:55And this is where the topic of electricity bill might also be connected to power.
1:19:59Absolutely. This is where the concept of electric power comes from
1:20:02. That means how fast the electrical energy is being used or spent
1:20:08. And its unit?
1:20:09Its unit is watt. It is written as w. We buy bulbs of 10 watts, 100 watts.
1:20:14Yes. Yes. That is its power rating and our electricity bills
1:20:19come in kilowatt hours. This is the commercial unit of energy. Commercial unit is also
1:20:24called unit. 1 kilowatt means 1 kilowatt power used for 1 hour.
1:20:29Got it? So, all these things are interconnected. Starting from charge,
1:20:36then current, then potential difference, then Ohm's law and resistance, then types of materials,
1:20:42ways of connecting them and finally heat and power. Of course, this is a whole chain and it
1:20:48is very important to understand how the resistance of a conductor blocks the current and how different materials
1:20:53, metals, non-metals, metalloids, show different behavior towards electricity.
1:20:58Yes, and that point about series and parallel is also very important. In series, current remains the same,
1:21:04voltage increases. In parallel, voltage remains the same, current increases. This has to be remembered.
1:21:10Yes, this is often asked in exams. All these concepts together
1:21:15form a complete picture of electricity. Of course. So, I leave a thought for the listeners
1:21:19. We are hearing a lot about semiconductors these days.
1:21:25Their capabilities are increasing. So think
1:21:30how can the ways of saving and using energy change in the future? Can new innovations happen? What do you
1:21:36think? Do tell us in the comments. Do think about this.
1:21:40Now my next topic is the magnetic effect of electric current. This is a very
1:21:46important part of physics. Especially if you are preparing for competitive exams
1:21:50like SSC, UPSC or State PCS etc.
1:21:54And its beginning was also very sudden. It is said that in 1820 Hans Christian and
1:22:01State saw that the compass needle kept near the electric wire started moving. Yes,
1:22:07it was a very sudden discovery. From there it was known that
1:22:14there is a deep connection between electricity and magnetism. Yes.
1:22:16So today we will try to understand this connection a little more. The main principles,
1:22:22the rules, in simple language. So first of all let's talk about magnetic field lines.
1:22:28What are these? What do they show? See, this
1:22:34is a way of visualization. We cannot see the magnetic field, right?
1:22:39Yes, it is invisible. So we understand it through these imaginary lines. These lines
1:22:44tell in which direction the magnetic force will be applied and where it will be stronger. Where it will be
1:22:51weaker. Okay. Where they are close together, that means their
1:22:54density is more, understand that the field is stronger there
1:22:58and where they are far apart, it is weaker and their direction
1:23:02is always considered from the North Pole to the South Pole. Okay. So this shows the pattern of force
1:23:07in a way. Yes, absolutely.
1:23:08Now the question is how is this magnetic field created? The first mention comes
1:23:13of a straight current carrying conductor. That means a straight wire in which current is flowing.
1:23:17Yes. When current i.e. electric current passes through a straight wire, then
1:23:23a magnetic field is formed all around it.
1:23:26What is that field like? It is like round circles made with the wire as the center
1:23:30. Concentric circles which are called concentric circles.
1:23:34Well, like if you throw a stone in water, then waves are formed.
1:23:37Yes. Yes. We can understand something like that. Okay. And if the wire is not straight. Suppose
1:23:42we bend it into a round loop. Circular loop. Yes.
1:23:45What difference does it make in that? Yes, that is also an important source. When the wire
1:23:51is in a circular loop, the magnetic field is strongest at its center
1:23:56. Why? Why is it so?
1:23:59Because the magnetic field of every small part of the loop, all
1:24:04joins at the center. In a way, it gets concentrated.
1:24:07Well, all of them together increase the strength. Absolutely. And there
1:24:11is a special rule to find its direction too. Hmm. Now another name which you hear again and again.
1:24:15Solenoid Solenoid. What is this? It sounds a little technical
1:24:20. No, it is actually very simple. You just
1:24:24take a wire and wrap it tightly around a cylindrical object like a spring.
1:24:29Like a spring. Yes, exactly. Solenoid is just that structure.
1:24:34When you pass current through it, a very
1:24:39strong and most importantly almost uniform magnetic field is formed inside it, i.e. inside the hollow part
1:24:46. Uniform means equal everywhere, yes almost uniform inside everywhere and it
1:24:51works exactly like a bar magnet. One end north pole,
1:24:56the other south pole. Oh wow. And the most interesting thing is that
1:24:59as soon as you turn off the current, the magnetism disappears.
1:25:02Well, that means you can make a magnet whenever you want, turn it off whenever you want.
1:25:06This is exactly the basic principle of electromagnet.
1:25:11Got it? So this is how a magnetic field is formed by current. Now
1:25:16let's think about its opposite. If a magnetic field is already present somewhere and we
1:25:22put a wire in it in which current is flowing, then what will happen? Yes, this is the second important aspect. When
1:25:27you do this, a force is applied on that wire. It feels like a push.
1:25:33Force? Does that mean the wire will move? Yes. That wire can move. A
1:25:38force is applied on it. And using this force your electric motor rotates.
1:25:44Ok. So the motor works on this principle.
1:25:47Absolutely. And to find out the direction of this bulb i.e. in which direction the wire will move, there
1:25:54is Fleming's left hand rule. Fleming's Left Hand
1:25:57Rule Yes, people often get confused in this.
1:26:01I will explain it in a little easier way. Definitely see, take your left hand. Its
1:26:05thumb, the first finger i.e. the index finger and the middle finger i.e. the middle finger.
1:26:12Spread these three perpendicular to each other i.e. at 90°. Okay? Spread them. Now if the first finger
1:26:19i.e. the index finger is in the direction of the magnetic field and the middle finger
1:26:25is in the direction of the current, then the thumb will tell the direction of the force applied on that wire.
1:26:31Field Current Force is nothing like FBI. You can remember it like this. Index finger
1:26:37field, middle finger current, some people also remember thumb force or father, mother child
1:26:43. FMC is good field current force, this is fine. FCF
1:26:48is not. Yes, it means you have to remember the sequence.
1:26:50Okay. Now there is another very important principle. Electromagnetic
1:26:55induction. What is this? Let us understand that it was a revolution in a way.
1:27:02The contribution of Michael Faraday. It simply means that if you
1:27:09change the magnetic field near a coil of wire.
1:27:13Change means how? It means either you bring the magnet near the coil
1:27:17or take it away or increase or decrease the current in another wire kept nearby so that
1:27:23the magnetic field changes. So electricity is automatically generated in that first coil.
1:27:29What is it? It means electricity can be generated from changing magnetism.
1:27:33Absolutely. Without a battery, without any source, current is generated only from the changing magnetic field
1:27:40. This is called induced current. Is
1:27:45this what generators run on? Yes, absolutely. The
1:27:49big generators in power plants work on this principle. It
1:27:53is amazing. So how do we know the direction of this induced current?
1:27:58Is there any rule for this? Yes, for this there is Fleming's right hand
1:28:02rule. Right hand rule.
1:28:03Yes. Ok. One left hand rule, one right hand
1:28:06rule. Yes. In this also the same three fingers thumb,
1:28:10index finger, middle finger but of the right hand. Perpendicular to each other. Okay.
1:28:15Now if the index finger tells the direction of the magnetic field, thumb
1:28:22tells the direction of the conductor's movement, then the middle finger will tell the direction of the induced current.
1:28:29Motion field current. Yes. Motion field and then induced current.
1:28:34So the left hand rule for the motor means to know the direction of the force.
1:28:38Yes. And the right hand rule for the generator means
1:28:41to know the direction of the induced current. Absolutely right. These two rules and
1:28:45the principle of electromagnetic induction together
1:28:50form the foundation of our modern technology today. Really where is all this used?
1:28:55To increase or decrease electricity. Speakers, computer's hard disk, many things
1:29:00work on these basic principles. So this is not just important for exams
1:29:05. This is what runs the world around us. Have you ever thought
1:29:11what would the world be like today if these principles had not been discovered?
1:29:14This is really something to think about. In other words, how did a seemingly simple discovery
1:29:20change the whole world? What do you think? In your everyday life
1:29:25Where do you see these effects, please tell us in the comments.
