Question

Plot the corresponding reference circle for each of the following simple harmonic motions. Indicate the initial (t = 0) position of the particle, the radius of the circle, and the angular speed of the rotating particle. For simplicity, the sense of rotation may be fixed to be anticlockwise in every case: (x is in cm and t is in s).$\text{x}=\cos\Big(\frac{\pi}{6}-\text{t}\Big)$

✓

Answer

$\text{x}=\cos\Big(\frac{\pi}{6}-\text{t}\Big)=\cos\Big(\text{t}-\frac{\pi}{6}\Big)$If this equation is compared with the standard SHM equation $\text{x}=\text{A}\cos\bigg(\Big(\frac{2\pi}{\text{T}}\Big)\text{t}+\phi\bigg),$ then we get:
Amplitude, A = 1
Phase angle, $\phi=-\frac{\pi}{6}=-30^\circ$
Angular velocity, $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{\text{T}}=1\text{rad/s}$
The motion of the particle can be plotted as shown in the following figure.

The product of the hole concentration and the conduction electron concentration turns out to be independent of the amount of any impurity doped. The concentration of conduction electrons in germanium is $6 \times 10^{19}$ per cubic metre. When some phosphorus impurity is doped into a germanium sample, the concentration of conduction electrons increases to $2 \times 10^{23}$ per cubic metre. Find the concentration of the holes in the doped germanium.
