1. fa] Show that x? + y? +z? -c’?? is Lorentz invariant. [3]
Jey Calculate the % contraction in the length of a rod ina
frame of reference, moving with velocity 0.8C in
direction (g) parailel to its length {b) making angle of 30°
with its length. [2]
2. Jaf Deduce the expression for relativistic total energy of a
article. [3]
Find at what velocity the mass of the particle becomes
five times. [2]
3. [a] Show that in driven oscillator maximum power is
absorbed at natural frequency of oscillator which is
same as frequency of velocity resonance. [3]
[b] Prove that when damping forces are present, the
frequency of an oscillator is reduced by 12.5/Q° %,
where Q is the quality factor. [2]
