Consider the electromagnetic radiation inside a kiln, with a volume of V= I m3 and a temperature of 1500 K.

(a) What is the total energy of this radiation?

(b) Sketch the spectrum of the radiation as a function of photon energy.

(c) What fraction of all the energy is in the visible portion of the spectrum, with wavelengths between 400 nm and 700 nm?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore, the total energy of this radiation is:

U=3.815×10-3J

Fraction of all energy isUvis.Utot.=0.000557

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The electromagnetic radiation inside a kiln, with a volume of V=I m3 and a temperature of 1500 K.

02

Explanation

(a) Suppose we have an electromagnetic radiation inside a kiln, which has a volume of V = 1 m3 and temperature of T = 1500 K, the total energy of this radiation is given by:

U=8Ï€5(kT)415(hc)3V

Substitute with the values,

U=8π51.38×10-23J/K(1500K)4156.626×10-34J·s3.0×108m/s31m3U=3.815×10-3J

(b) The radiation's spectrum is provided by:

u(ϵ)=8π(hc)3ϵ3eϵ/kT-1

Using python and the code is:

From the graph we can see that the peak occurs at energy of ϵ=0.36eV

03

Explanation

(c) Now we need to discover the component of the spectrum that represents visible light (the fraction of the energy), which we can do by integrating the following equation all across the visible light (equation 785):

U=8πV(hc)3∫ϵ1ϵ2x3ex-1dx

The energy in terms of wavelength is:

ϵ=hcλ

Therefore,

ϵ2=6.626×10-34J·s3.0×108m/s400×10-9m=4.9695×10-19J=3.1eVϵ1=6.626×10-34J·s3.0×108m/s700×10-9m=2.84×10-19J=1.77eV

The fraction of the energy in the visible light is given by:

Uvis.Utot.=∫1.77eV3.1eVx3ex-1dx∫0∞x3ex-1dx

The integration in the denominator equals π4/15, therefore

Uvis.Utot=15π4∫1.77eV3.1eVx3ex-1dϵ

But this is not the real boundaries since the integration over x not ϵ, we have:

x=ϵkT

But temperature T=1500K

localid="1647756536663">x1=ϵ1kT=1.77eV8.62×10-5eV/K(1500K)=13.7x2=ϵ2kT=3.1eVeV8.62×10-5eV/K(1500K)=24

Therefore, the integral will be:

Uvis.Utot.=15π4∫13.724x3ex-1dϵ

To solve this integral python is used, the code is and the ratio is:

Uvis.Utot.=0.000557

In this problem you will model helium-3 as a non-interacting Fermi gas. Although He3liquefies at low temperatures, the liquid has an unusually low density and behaves in many ways like a gas because the forces between the atoms are so weak. Helium-3 atoms are spin-1/2 fermions, because of the unpaired neutron in the nucleus.

(a) Pretending that liquid 3He is a non-interacting Fermi gas, calculate the Fermi energy and the Fermi temperature. The molar volume (at low pressures) is 37cm3•

(b)Calculate the heat capacity for T<<Tf, and compare to the experimental result CV=(2.8K-1)NkT(in the low-temperature limit). (Don't expect perfect agreement.)

(c)The entropy of solid H3ebelow 1 K is almost entirely due to its multiplicity of nuclear spin alignments. Sketch a graph S vs. T for liquid and solid H3eat low temperature, and estimate the temperature at which the liquid and solid have the same entropy. Discuss the shape of the solid-liquid phase boundary shown in Figure 5.13.

At the center of the sun, the temperature is approximately 107K and the concentration of electrons is approximately 1032 per cubic meter. Would it be (approximately) valid to treat these electrons as a "classical" ideal gas (using Boltzmann statistics), or as a degenerate Fermi gas (with T≈0 ), or neither?

The Sommerfeld expansion is an expansion in powers of kTεF, which is assumed to be small. In this section I kept all terms through order kTεF2, omitting higher-order terms. Show at each relevant step that the term proportional to localid="1650117451748" T3is zero, so that the next nonvanishing terms in the expansions forlocalid="1650117470867" μand localid="1650117476821" Uare proportional to localid="1650117458596" T4. (If you enjoy such things, you might try evaluating the localid="1650117464980" T4terms, possibly with the aid of a computer algebra program.)

Suppose that the concentration of infrared-absorbing gases in earth's atmosphere were to double, effectively creating a second "blanket" to warm the surface. Estimate the equilibrium surface temperature of the earth that would result from this catastrophe. (Hint: First show that the lower atmospheric blanket is warmer than the upper one by a factor of 21/4. The surface is warmer than the lower blanket by a smaller factor.)

Starting from the formula for CV derived in Problem 7.70(b), calculate the entropy, Helmholtz free energy, and pressure of a Bose gas for T<Tc. Notice that the pressure is independent of volume; how can this be the case?
