Newland's Octaves

Newland’s Law of Octaves:
According to this law “the elements are arranged in such a way that the eighth element starting from a given one has properties which are a repetition of those of the first if arranged in order of increasing atomic weight like the. eight note of musical scale.”
Drawback of Newland’s law of Octaves:
(i) According to Newland only 56 elements exists in nature and no more elements would be discovered in the future. But later on several new element were discovered
whose properties did not fit into law of octaves.
(ii) In order to fit new elements into his table Newland adjust two elements in the same column, but put some unlike elements under the same column.

Simple Harmonic Motion

SHM is a kind of periodic motion. We can say that all SHM's are periodic but all periodic motion are not SHM.  Conditions for SHM: The acceleration of the body or the particle should be proportional to the negative of displacement. The total Mechanical Energy of the system remains conserved. There must be a state of stable equilibrium. Equation of SHM Consider a particle revolving around a circular path of radius ''a''. with a constant angular velocity  ω. Let at time t=0, the particle is at the position A then the projection of the particle will be at the point B on the y-axis. So when the particle comes at the top the projection also comes at the top. Hence we can see that the particle is doing periodic motion but the projection is doing SHM. Hence the time period of the SHM is same as the time period of the circular particle. The derivation of the actual equation of the SHM is a bit complex and it is difficult for me to show it here so...

Semiconductors and Communication System

This chapter can be divided into following categories:- Classification Types of Semi-Conductors p-n junction diode Biasing of Diode Rectifiers Special Diodes (Zener, Photodiode, LED and Solar Cell) Transistors Logic Gates Communication System In the next few posts I will be posting in the same manner ie. (in bullets form) for your convenience and I hope that helps you in completing your syllabus. Classification Materials can be classified on the basis of conductivity as Conductors, Insulators and Semi Conductors. The basic difference among all the three is the difference of energy in between the Conducting and the Valence band. This can be seen here. Note- The range of conductivity should be kept in mind. For Semi-Conductors the energy difference is not very large but not even very less. So by providing proper conditions they can show conductivity. Types of Semi-Conductors Further we can say that there are two other types of semi con...
