Change variables in equation 7.83 to =hc/ and thus derive a formula for the photon spectrum as a function of wavelength. Plot this spectrum, and find a numerical formula for the wavelength where the spectrum peaks, in terms of hc/kT. Explain why the peak does not occur at hc/(2.82kT).

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Changing variables in equation 7.83 to =hc/ and thus deriving a formula for the photon spectrum as a function of wavelength.

02

Explanation

The equation 7.83 is:

UV=8(hc)303e/kT-1d(1)

Change the variables to the wavelength using,

=hcd=-hc2d

Substitute this into (1)

UV=-8(hc)30(hc)451ehc/kT-1d

03

Calculations

By changing the integration boundaries, at =0the wavelength isand at=the wavelength is zero.

localid="1647752119716">UV=8hc0151ehc/kT-1dUV=8hc0151ehc/kT-1d

Changing the function to be dimensionless variables,

l=kThc

Hence,

UV=8(kT)4(hc)301l51e1/l-1d

u(l)=8(kT)4(hc)31l51e1/l-1

Using python to solve this function. The code is:

The graph is:

The peak occurs at l=0.2014

0.2014=kThc=0.2014hckT=hc4.965kT

This isn't the same as the solution to problem 7.37. This is due to the nonlinear relationship between energy and wavelength; for example, the energy difference between 1 eV and 2 eV is the same for 101 eV and 102 eV, but the wavelengths that correspond to these two intervals are not.

In analogy with the previous problem, consider a system of identical spin0bosonstrapped in a region where the energy levels are evenly spaced. Assume that Nis a large number, and again let qbe the number of energy units.

(a) Draw diagrams representing all allowed system states from q=0up to q=6.Instead of using dots as in the previous problem, use numbers to indicate the number of bosons occupying each level.

(b) Compute the occupancy of each energy level, for q=6. Draw a graph of the occupancy as a function of the energy at each level.

(c) Estimate values of and Tthat you would have to plug into the Bose-Einstein distribution to best fit the graph of part(b).

(d) As in part (d) of the previous problem, draw a graph of entropy vs energy and estimate the temperature at q=6from this graph.

For a gas of particles confined inside a two-dimensional box, the density of states is constant, independent of (see Problem 7.28). Investigate the behavior of a gas of noninteracting bosons in a two-dimensional box. You should find that the chemical potential remains significantly less than zero as long as T is significantly greater than zero, and hence that there is no abrupt condensation of particles into the ground state. Explain how you know that this is the case, and describe what does happen to this system as the temperature decreases. What property must have in order for there to be an abrupt Bose-Einstein condensation?

Consider a two-dimensional solid, such as a stretched drumhead or a layer of mica or graphite. Find an expression (in terms of an integral) for the thermal energy of a square chunk of this material of area , and evaluate the result approximately for very low and very high temperatures. Also, find an expression for the heat capacity, and use a computer or a calculator to plot the heat capacity as a function of temperature. Assume that the material can only vibrate perpendicular to its own plane, i.e., that there is only one "polarization."

Imagine that there exists a third type of particle, which can share a single-particle state with one other particle of the same type but no more. Thus the number of these particles in any state can be 0,1 or 2 . Derive the distribution function for the average occupancy of a state by particles of this type, and plot the occupancy as a function of the state's energy, for several different temperatures.

At the surface of the sun, the temperature is approximately 5800 K.

(a) How much energy is contained in the electromagnetic radiation filling a cubic meter of space at the sun's surface?

(b) Sketch the spectrum of this radiation as a function of photon energy. Mark the region of the spectrum that corresponds to visible wavelengths, between 400 nm and 700 nm.

(c) What fraction of the energy is in the visible portion of the spectrum? (Hint: Do the integral numerically.)
