THEORETICAL COMPETITION

January 12, 2018

  1. The time available for the theoretical competition is 4 hours. There are three questions.

  2. Use only the pen provided.

  3. You can use your own calculator for numerical calculations. If you don’t have one, please ask for it from Olympiad organizers.

  4. You are provided with Writing sheet and additional paper. You can use the additional paper for drafts of your solutions but these papers will not be checked. Your final solutions which will be evaluated should be on the Writing sheets. Please use as little text as possible. You should mostly use equations, numbers, figures and plots.

  5. Use only the front side of Writing sheets**.** Write only inside the boxed area.

  6. Begin each question on a separate sheet of paper.

  7. Fill the boxes at the top of each sheet of paper with your country (Country), your student code (Student Code), the question number (Question Number), the progressive number of each sheet (Page Number), and the total number of Writing sheets used (Total Number of Pages). If you use some blank Writing sheets for notes that you do not wish to be evaluated, put a large X across the entire sheet and do not include it in your numbering.

  8. At the end of the exam, arrange all sheets for each problem in the following order:

    • Used Writing sheets in order;
    • The sheets you do not wish to be evaluated
    • Unused sheets and the printed question.

    Place the papers inside the envelope and leave everything on your desk. You are not allowed to take any paper out of the room.

Part 1. 4-dimensional vectors

Consider two inertial reference frames SS and S′S' of which the second one moves at a speed VV relative to the first one as shown in the figure on the right. It is assumed that the origins OO and O′O' coincide at the initial time moment t=t′=0t = t' = 0 by the clocks of both reference frames. It is known that the Lorentz transformation of space-time coordinates (x′,y′,z′,ct′)(x', y', z', ct') of any event in the frame S′S' into the space-time coordinates (x,y,z,ct)(x, y, z, ct) of the same event in the frame SS have the following form

x=x′+(V/c)ct′1−V2/c2,y=y′,z=z′,ct=ct′+(V/c)x′1−V2/c2,x = \frac{x' + (V/c)ct'}{\sqrt{1 - V^2/c^2}}, \qquad y = y', \qquad z = z', \qquad ct = \frac{ct' + (V/c)x'}{\sqrt{1 - V^2/c^2}},

where c=2.9979 m/sc = 2.9979\ \mathrm{m/s} is the speed of light.

Two reference frames: S with origin O and axes X, Y, Z, and S′ with origin O′ and axes X′, Y′, Z′, moving along the common X, X′ axis with velocity V.

In the formulas of the Lorentz transformation the spatial coordinates and the time are intentionally brought to the same dimension as they together form components of the so-called 4-vector. It is known that all the components of 4-vectors are transformed in the same way at the transition from one inertial frame to the other. In particular, the momentum and the energy constitute the components of the 4-vector.

Suppose that an object moves in the reference frame SS such that it has the total energy EE and the momentum projections px,py,pzp_x, p_y, p_z on the coordinate axes OXOX, OYOY and OZOZ, respectively.

1.1 Write down the transformation of energy and momentum of the object from the reference frame SS to the reference frame S′S'.

Suppose an object of the rest mass mm moves in the reference frame SS such that it has the total energy EE and the momentum pp. When converting its energy and momentum from one reference frame to another the value E2−p2c2=invE^2 - p^2c^2 = inv remains invariant.

1.2 Express invinv in terms of mm and cc.

Part 2. Doppler effect and light aberration

Let a plane electromagnetic wave (EMW) propagate in XYXY-plane of the reference frame SS so that it has the frequency ω\omega and makes the angle φ\varphi with the axis OXOX.

2.1 Find the frequency ω′\omega' of EMW registered by an observer in the reference frame S′S'.

2.2 Find the angle φ′\varphi' that EMW makes with the axis O′X′O'X' in the reference frame S′S'.

Astronomical observations have shown that the position of a newly discovered massive star XX on the celestial sphere (i.e. relative to very distant objects) does not remain constant throughout the year. It moves along an ellipse with axial ratio 0.900. Ecliptic latitude of a star is the angle between the direction to the star and the ecliptic plane, which can be assumed coincident with the plane of the Earth orbit around the Sun.

2.3 Find the ecliptic latitude δ\delta of the star XX and evaluate it in arc degrees.

Observation of the emission spectrum of the star XX has shown that all frequency in its spectrum are shifted to the red. The relative frequency deviation is (Δω/ω)0=9.9945⋅10−3(\Delta\omega/\omega)_0 = 9.9945 \cdot 10^{-3}. It has independently been established that the recession velocity of the star XX from the Sun is equal to vx=1100cv_x = \frac{1}{100}c.

2.4 Find and evaluate the escape velocity vIIv_{II} at the surface of the star XX.

Part 3. Light in a moving medium

Consider the same two reference frames as in Part 1. Let an object move in the plane X′Y′X'Y' of the reference frame S′S' such that the projections of its velocity on the axis O′X′O'X' and O′Y′O'Y' are equal ux′u_x' and uy′u_y', respectively.

3.1 Find the projections of the object velocity uxu_x on the axis OXOX and uyu_y on the axis OYOY in the reference frame SS.

Consider a water flow moving at the speed of VV relative to the bottom of the vessel. A plane EMW falls onto the water surface to make the angle α\alpha to the normal in the laboratory reference frame. A detector is fixed at the bottom of the vessel. The refractive index of water is known to be nn.

A ray falls on the surface of a water layer at angle α to the normal and is refracted at angle β towards a detector on the bottom; the water flows with velocity V; labels Bottom and Detector.

If the water velocity V≪cV \ll c, the expression for the sine of the angle β\beta at which the detector registers the direction of EMW propagation, takes the form:

sin⁡β=A1+B1V.\sin\beta = A_1 + B_1 V.

3.2 Find A1,B1A_1, B_1 and express them in terms of α\alpha and nn.

If the water velocity V≪cV \ll c, the expression for velocity vmv_m of the light propagation in the laboratory reference frame is found as

vm=A2+B2V.v_m = A_2 + B_2 V.

3.3 Find A2,B2A_2, B_2 and express them in terms of β,n,c\beta, n, c.

In 1860 A. Fizeau set up the following experiment. A monochromatic beam with the wavelength λ\lambda comes out of the source AA and falls onto the semitransparent plate BB at which it is divided into two coherent beams. The first beam, being reflected from the plate BB, goes along the way BKDEBBKDEB (K,DK, D and EE are the mirrors), whereas the second beam, passing through the plate BB, goes along the way BEDKBBEDKB. The first beam, when returning to the plate BB, is partially reflected from it and reaches the interferometer FF. The second beam, when returning to the plate BB, partially passes through it and reaches the interferometer FF. Both interfering beams travels the same distance in the laboratory reference frame, including section BEBE and KDKD in which the water flows with the velocity vv. The total distance covered by each beam in water in the laboratory reference frame is equal to 2L2L.

Fizeau’s set-up: source A, semitransparent plate B, mirrors K, D, E and interferometer F; water flows with velocity v through the U-shaped tube sections BE and KD; wavy arrows show the two counter-propagating beams.

3.4 Find the number of bands ΔN\Delta N the interference pattern is shifted by when the liquid velocity changes from 0 to vv and express it in terms of L,n,v,cL, n, v, c, and λ\lambda.

In his own experiment A. Fizeau obtained ΔN=0.230\Delta N = 0.230 at L=1.49 mL = 1.49\ \mathrm{m}, v=7.06 m/sv = 7.06\ \mathrm{m/s} and λ=536 nm\lambda = 536\ \mathrm{nm}.

3.5 Evaluate refractive index of water nn in Fizeau’s experiment.

Mathematical hint

You may need to know the following approximate equality: (1+x)α≈1+αx(1 + x)^{\alpha} \approx 1 + \alpha x, at x≪1x \ll 1.
