1 VIII_OLYMPIAD_PHYSICS_VOL-1 MATHEMATICS FOR PHYSICS TRIGONOMETRY SYNOPSIS Introduction: The word ‘trigonometry’ is derived from the Greek roots --- ‘tri’ meaning ‘three’; ‘gonia’ meaning ‘an angle’ ; ‘metron’ meaning ‘measure’. Thus ‘trigonometry’ means three angle measure. It is an analytical study of a three angled geometric figure, namely the triangle. Trigonometrical Ratios:In right triangle OPM, if POM = , then the side MP (perpendicular) is called the opposite side ; the longest side OP is called the hypotenuse and the third side OM is called the Adjacent side (base) of the triangle. P X O M X I Y YI P X O M X I Y YI (i) Sine of angle , written as sin = MP OP = Opposite side Hypotenuse side (ii) Cosine of angle , written as cos = OM OP = Adjacent side Hypotenuse side (iii) Tangent of angle , written as tan = MP OM = Opposite side Adjacent side (iv) Cotagent of angle , written as cot = OM MP = Adjacent side Opposite side (v) Secant of angle , written as sec = OP OM = Hypotenuse side Adjacent side (vi) Cosecant of angle , written as cosec = OP MP = Hypotenuse side Opposite side [Note :i) From the above relations, we can say that sin = 1/cosec or cos = 1/sec ii) According to pythagoras theorem, (Hypotenuse side)2 =( Adjacent side)2 + (Opposite side)2

(i) OM is positive if it is drawn to the right of O and negative if drawn to the left. p X O M X I Y YI (ii) MP is positive if it is drawn above XIOX and negative if drawn below XIOX. (iii) OP is always positive.
3 VIII_OLYMPIAD_PHYSICS_VOL-1 Keeping in mind this sign convention and the definitions of T-ratios, we shall find that : (a) In the first quadrant, all the T-ratios are positive. (b) In the second quadrant, only the sine and (its reciprocal) cosecant are +ve. (c) In the third quadrant, only the tangent and (its reciprocal) cotangent are +ve. (d) In the fourth quadrant, only the cosine and (its reciprocal) secant are +ve To find the values of Trigonometric ratios when 0 θ > 90 : [Note: The sign convension of trigonometric functions in the four quadrants are shown in the above figure by using the phrase all silver tea cups]. Every angle A can be reduced to the form: 0 A n.90 where nZ and 0 0 90 . (i) If n is a odd integer, we have 0 0 0 sin n.90 cos , cos n.90 sin , tan n.90 cot , 0 0 0 cot n.90 tan, cosec n.90 sec , sec n.90 cosec , i.e., sin changes to cos, cos changes to sin, tan changes to cot, cot changes to tan, sec changes to cosec and cosec changes to sec. (ii) If n is an even integer, we have 0 0 0 sin n.90 sin , cos n.90 cos , tan n.90 tan , 0 0 0 cosec n.90 cosec , sec n.90 sec , cot n.90 cot i.e., sin remains sin, cos remains cos, tan remains tan, cosec remains cosec, sec remains sec and cot remains cot. (iii) Use original (given) ratio to find + or – sign in the R.H.S. of the equations in (i) and (ii) making use of the phrase All Silver Tea Cups. Example 1: sin 120° = sin (1.90°+30°). Here n = 1, an odd integer. Sin changes to Cos 120° lies in the second quadrant. Original (given) ratio sin is + ve. sin 120° = sin (90°+30°) = +cos 30° = 3/2 . Example 2: cos 240° = cos (180° + 60°) = cos (2.90° + 60°) Here n = 2, an even integer cos remains cos. 240° lies in the third quadrant original (given) ratio cos is –ve. cos 240° = – cos 60° = –1/2. Example 3: tan (–300°) = – tan 300° = –tan (3.90° + 30°). Here n = 3, an odd integer. tan 300° lies in the fourth quadrant original (given) ratio tan is –ve tan (–300°) = –(–cot30°) = 3 .
