Experiment No.6: Coefficient of Restitution

Introduction: The coefficient of restitution is the ratio of speeds of the falling objects, from when it hits a given surface to when
it leaves the surface. In laymen’s term, the coefficient of restitution is a measure of bounciness. A ball is a round or spherical

the most common in modern times.

3. Compute the coefficient of restitution of the different materials

Experiment No.7: Hooke’s law of Elasticity

Introduction: Hooke’s law gives the relationship between the force applied to an unstretched spring and the amount the spring
is stretch. It states that within the limit of Elasticity, the stress induced ( ) sigma in the solid due to some external force is
always in proportion with the strain ( ) Epsilon. In other words, the force causing stress in a slid is directly proportional to the
solid’s deformation.

Experiment No.10: Refraction and Reflection of Lights

Introduction: This experiment familiarizes the students on the basic concept of reflection using mirrors and refraction using a
prism.

When a monochromatic light ray crosses from one medium to another, it is refracted. Because the index of refraction for light
varies with the frequency of light, white lights that enters the materials will separate into its component colors as each
frequency is bent at different amount.

Reflection is possible with the presence of light and a reflecting material which can be a plain or rugged surface. Reflection is
commonly observed with the use of mirror of view the image of an object.

A concave cylindrical mirror focuses in incoming parallel rays at its focal point. The focal length (f) is the distance from the focal
point to the center of the mirror surface. The radius of curvature (R) of the mirror is twice the focal point.

Learning outcomes:

1. Verify the law of reflection light

2. Measure the focal length and determine the radius of curvature of a concave mirror and convex mirror
3. Verify the refraction colors
4. Demonstrate the separation of white light into its component color
