Abstract

In 1968, Kittel published the zipper model for demonstrating the first order phase transition which is applicable to DNA like structures. This paper utilize this model to explain the behavior of many thermodynamic properties before, at and after phase transition to get a clear picture about what the changes are happening to the system during phase transition. Many textbooks say that entropy and volume show discontinuity at phase transition whereas Gibbs free energy is continuous. The zipper model shows that energy is also discontinuous as shown in the paper. Understanding the phase transition is still a difficult topic for the undergraduate students and hopefully this paper can help them to overcome this difficulty.

Abstract

Many consider physics to be a highly mathematical oriented subject to study. To break this opinion and also to generate a deep interest in physics, a course on ‘Physics of Music’ can be introduced at any level of a curriculum. We present a simple and practical way of introducing this topic even for school level students. Teachers, along with students, can visualise and feel physics all time throughout the course.

Abstract

Many natural phenomena we find in our surroundings, are fractals. Studying and learning about fractals in classrooms is always a challenge for both teachers and students. We here show that the sound of musical instruments can be used as a good resource in the laboratory to study fractals. Measurement of fractal dimension which indicates how much fractal content is there, is always uncomfortable, because of the size of the objects like coastlines and mountains. A simple fractal source is always desirable in laboratories. Music serves to be a very simple and effective source for fractal dimension measurement. In this paper, we are suggesting that music which has an inherent fractal nature can be used as an object in classrooms to measure fractal dimensions. To find the fractal dimension we used the box-counting method. We studied the sound produced by different stringed instruments and some common noises. For good musical sound, the fractal dimension obtained is around 1.6882.
Chaos to fractals Pulinchery, Prasanth; Pothyiodath, Nishanth; Murkoth, Udayanandan Kandoth

Abstract

In undergraduate classrooms, while teaching chaos and fractals, it is taught as if there is no relation between these two. By using some non linear oscillators we demonstrate that there is a connection between chaos and fractals. By plotting the phase space diagrams of four nonlinear oscillators and using box counting method of finding the fractal dimension we established the chaotic nature of the nonlinear oscillators. The awareness that all chaotic systems are good fractals will add more insights to the concept of chaotic systems.

Abstract

During the development of physics, we can see that the Equipartition Theorem (EPT) has been redefined many times. In this paper, we start with the description of the historical development of the theorem along with the various definitions given by different scientists. Then we found the expressions for classical, quantum, and discrete energy systems and redefined EPT.
