TABULATE:
S/N: 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5
L(cm): 90.00, 80.00, 70.00, 60.00, 50.00
T(s): 38.00, 36.00, 34.00, 31.00, 28.00
T = t/20(sqt): 1.90, 1.80, 1.70, 1.55, 1.40
√L(cm^1/2): 9.49, 8.94, 8.37, 7.73, 7.07
(1aix)
Slope(s) =
Δvertical/Δhorizontal =1.90 – 1.55/9.49 – 7.75 = 0.35/1.74
S = 0.201
(1ax)
g = 4π²/S²
= 4 ×(3.142)²/(0.201)²
= 977.4cm/s²
(1axi)
(i) I ensured the angle of oscillation is relatively small.
(ii) I ensured that no external force is added to the system of oscillation.
(iii) I ensured the oscillation is perfect
(1bi)
Simple harmonic motion is the motion of a body whose acceleration is always direct towards a fixed point and is proportional to the displacement from the fixed points
(1bii)
T=1.2secs
Log 1.2=0.079

a=60.00cm
b=20.00cm
Hence L=a/b=60.00/20.00 L=3

TABULATE
S/N: 1,2,3,4,5
b(cm):20.00,25.00,35.00,40.00
a(cm):60.00,37.50,30.00,26.25,24.00
L=a/b:3.00,1.50,1.00,0.75,0.60
2avii)
Slope=Change in L/Change in a
=(3-0.25)/(60-18.6)
=2.75/41.4
=0.006642
2aviii)
S^-1=1/S
=(1/0.0066425cm)
S=15.05
S=15cm

PRECAUTIONS
-I ensured that all apparatus are in straight line
-I avoided error due to parallax when reading the metre rule
-I avoided zero error on the metre rule
2bi)
u=10cm
f=15cm
Using 1/v 1/u=1/f
1/f-1/u=1/v
1/v=1/15-1/10
1/v=(2-3)/30
1/v=-1/30
v=-30cm
The characteristics of image formed are:
-It is virtual
-It is enlarged and magnified ie twice or two times as big as the object m=2
2bii)
The concave mirror mounted in its holder is moved to and fro in front of the screen until a sharp image of the cross wire of the ray box is formed on the screen adjacent of the object.The distance between the mirror and the screen was measured as 30cm since the radius of curvature r=2fo then half is distance
2bi)
The characteristics of imaged formed are:
i) It is virtual
ii) It is enlarged or magnified i.e. twice or two times bigger as the object(m=2)
