PHYSICAL WORLD AND UNITS & DIMENSIONS

PHYSICS
The dictionary definition of physics is “the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them”, but what
that really means is that physics is about asking fundamental questions and trying to answer them by observing
and experimenting.
Physicists ask really big questions like:

(i) How did the universe begin ?


(ii) How will the universe change in the future ?
(iii) How does the Sun keep on shining ?
(iv) What are the basic building blocks of matter ?
(v) If you think these questions are fascinating, then you’ll like physics.
What do Physicists do ?
Many physicists work in ‘pure’ research, trying to find answers to these types of question. The answers they
come up with often lead to unexpected technological applications. For example, all of the technology we take for
granted today, including games consoles, mobile phones, mp3 players, and DVDs, is based on a theoretical
understanding of electrons that was developed around the turn of the 20th century.

Physics doesn’t just deal with theoretical concepts. It’s applied in every sphere of human activity, including:
(i) Development of sustainable forms of energy production
(ii) Treating cancer, through radiotherapy, and diagnosing illness through various types of imaging, a all based
on physics.
(iii) Developing computer games
(iv) Design and manufacture of sports equipment
(v) Understanding and predicting earthquakes
(vi) In fact, pretty much every sector you can think of needs people with physics knowledge.

What about Mathematics ?


Many apparently complicated things in nature can be understood in terms of relatively simple mathematical
relationships. Physicists try to uncover these relationships through observing, creating mathematical models,
and testing them by doing experiments. The mathematical equations used in physics often look far more complicated
than they really are. Nevertheless, if you are going to study physics, you will need to get to grips with a certain
amount of maths.

ETOOS KEY POINTS

(i) The universal is far too complex to comprehend all at once. It is therefore, convenient to look at the different aspect
of the behaviour of the universe through different approaches. Each one of these leads to a simpler way of
understanding. We call each of these units as a discipline/subject of science.
(ii) Physical provides systematic answer to our queries about the physic mena on the basis of logical reasoning and
experimentation, is called the scientific method.

SCOPE AND EXCITEMENT OF PHYSICS


The scope of physics is very large. Physics deals with a wide variety of disciplines such as mechanics, heat and
light. Study of mechanics helps us to know the forces involved in the flight of a bird, walk of a man and so on.
The study of heat helps us to know the rise and fall of temperatures, working of heat engines and so on. Electricity
helps to understand the basic principles involved in generators and motors. The exciting discipline of modern
physics takes us into the microscopic world of atoms and electrons.

The distribution of charges proposed by Thomson in his model was tested by Ernest Rutherford in 1909 by using
subatomic projectiles to bombard a target of atoms. These projectiles, called alpha () particles, were identified as
one of the products of radioactivity.

Rutherford’s famous -particle scattering experiment is represented in the figure above. A stream of high energy
-particles from a radioactive source is directed at a thin foil (thickness-100 nm) of gold metal (having a circular
fluorescent zinc sulphide screen round it). Whenever an -particle strikes the screen, a tiny flash of light is
produced at that point.

PHYSICS IN RELATION TO SCIENCE, SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY


Among the various disciplines of science, the only discipline which can be regarded as being most fundamental
is physics. It has played a key role in the development of all other disciplines.
1. PHYSICS IN RELATION TO CHEMISTRY
The study of structure of atoms, radioactivity, X-ray, diffraction, etc., in physics has enabled chemists to rearrange
elements in the periodic table and to have a better understanding of chemical bonding and complex chemical
structures.
2. PHYSICS IN RELATION TO BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE
The optical microscopes developed in physics are extensively used in the study of biological samples. Electron
microscope, X-rays and radio isotopes are used widely in medical sciences.
3. PHYSICS IN RELATION TO ASTRONOMY
The giant astronomical telescopes and radio telescopes have enabled the astronomers to observe planets and
other heavenly objects.

PHYSICAL WORLD AND UNITS & DIMENSIONS

INTRODUCTION
The quantities which can be measured by an instrument and by means of which we can describe the law of physics
are called physical quantities
CLASSIFICATION
Physical quantities can be classified on the following bases.
Physical Quantities
Classifiaction

Based on their Based on their


directional Properties dependency

Fundamental Derived Supplementry


Scalar Vector Quantities Quantities Quantities
1. Based on their directional properties
(i) Scalars Quantities : Which have only magnitude but not direction.
e.g. Density, time, Electric current, mass, volume etc.
(ii) Vector Quantities : Which have both magnitude and direction and follow the law of vector algebra
e.g. Force, velocity, Displacement etc.
2. Based on their dependency :
(1) Fundamental quantities :
The quantities which do not depends upon other quantities for their complete definition are known as
fundamental or base quantities.
(i) These are the elementary quantities which covers the entire space of physics .
(ii) Any other quantities can be derived from these.
(iii) All the basic quantities are chosen such that they should be different, that means independent of each other
i.e., distance (d), time (t), and velocity (v) cannot be chosen basic quantities (because they are related as V = d/t).
An international organisation named CGMP (General conference on weight and Measure chosen seven physical
quantities as basic or fundamental

Length Time Mass Temperature Electric Luminous Amount of


(L) (T) (M) (K) Current Intensity substance
(A) (cd) (Mol)

These are the elementary quantities (in our planet) that`s why chosen as basic quantities.
In fact any set of independent quantities can be chosen as basic quantities by which all other physical quantities
can be derived.

Mole Area Density Velocity Resistance Specific Luminous


Heat Intensity

PHYSICS FOR JEE MAIN & ADVANCED

Can be chosen as basic quantities (on some other planet, these might also be used as basic quantities).

But
Length Area Velocity

Cannot be used as basic quantities as


Area = (Lenght)2 so they are not independent.
(2) Derived Quantities :
The quantities which can be expressed in term of the fundamental quantities (M, L, T......) are known as derived
quantities.

i.e., Speed = distance


time
Volume, acceleration, force, pressure etc.
(3) Supplementary Quantities :
Besides seven fundamental quantities two supplementary quantities are also defined.
(a) Plane angle (radian)
R Arc length = R
The radian is the angle subtended at the centre of a circle 1 rad
by an arc on its circumference equal in the length to O

the radius of the circle.


As the circumference of the circle is equal to 2 times the radius there will be 2 radian in a complete circle
360
 1 rad =  57.3o
2
(b) Solid angle (steradian)
The steradian is the angle subtended at the centre of a sphere
by a spherical area on the surface of the sphere, where the spherical
area has a circular boundary and an area equal to the square of the
radius of the sphere.
As the surface area of sphere is equal to 4 times the radius squared, the total solid angle at the centre of the sphere
is equal to 4 steradian
Ex. Classify the quantities displacement, mass, force, time, speed, velocity, acceleration, moment of inertia, pressure
and work under the following categories :
(a) base and scalar (b) base and vector (c) derived and scalar (d) derived and vector
Sol. (a) mass, time (b) displacement (c) speed, pressure, work (d) force, velocity, acceleration

UNITS
All physical quantities are measured w.r.t. standard magnitude of the same physical quantity and these standards
are called units e.g. meter, kilogram, second etc.
The requisites for fundamental quantities and their properties of unit :-
(i) They are well defined and suitable size.
(ii) They should be easily available and reproducible at all places.
(iii) They are independent of other fundamental quantities

PHYSICAL WORLD AND UNITS & DIMENSIONS

1. Fundamental or base quantities :


The quantities which do not depend upon other quantities for their complete definition are known as fundamental
or base quantities. e.g. : length, mass, time, etc.
2. Derived quantities :
The quantities which can be expressed in terms of the fundamental quantities are known as derived quantities.
e.g. Speed (=distance/time), volume, acceleration, force, pressure, etc.
3. Units of physical quantities
The chosen reference standard of measurement in multiples of which, a physical quantity is expressed is called the
unit of that quantity.
Physical Quantity = Numerical Value × Unit
4.   Supplementary Units
(a) Radian (rad) – for measurement of plane angle (b) Steradian (sr) – for measurement of solid angle
5. Dimensional formula
Physical quantity which express physical quantities in terms of appropriate powers of fundamental units.
6. Use of dimensional analysis
(a) To check the dimensional correctness of a given physical relation
(b) To derive relationship between different physical quantities
(c) To convert units of a physical quantity from one system to the other
a b c

n1u1 = n2u2  n2  n1       where u = Ma Lb Tc
 M 2   L2   T2 
7. Limitations of this method
(a) In Mechanics the formula for a physical quantity depending on more than three physical quantities cannot be
derived. It can only be checked.
(b) This method can be used only if the dependency is of multiplication type. The formulae containing exponential,
trigonometrical and logarithmic functions can't be derived using this method. Formulae containing more than one
1 2
term which are added or subtracted like s  ut  at also can't be derived.
2
(iii) The relation derived from this method gives no information about the dimensionless constants.
(iv) If dimensions are given, physical quantity may not be unique as many physical quantities have the same
dimensions.
(v) It gives no information whether a physical quantity is a scalar or a vector.

8. SI PREFIXES
The magnitudes of physical quantities vary over a wide range. The CGPM recommended standard prefixes for magnitude
too large or too small to be expressed more compactly for certain powers of 10.
9. Trigonometric functions sin, cos, tanetc. and their arrangements  are dimensionless.
