Question:(a) Let be a complex number, where aand barereal (positive or negative) numbers. Show that the product is always a positive real number. (b) Let localid="1663080869595" be another complexnumber. Show that .
Assuming that your surface temperature isand that you are an ideal blackbody radiator (you are close), find
(a) the wavelength at which your spectral radiancy is maximum,
(b) the power at which you emit thermal radiation in a wavelength range of at that wavelength, from a surface area of, and
(c) the corresponding rate at which you emit photons from that area. Using a wavelength of (in the visible range),
(d) recalculate the power and
(e) the rate of photon emission. (As you have noticed, you do not visibly glow in the dark.)
The wavelength associated with the cutoff frequency for silver is 325nm. Find the maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected from a silver surface by ultraviolet light of wavelength 254nm.
A helium–neon laser emits red light at wavelength in a beam of diameter 3.5 mm and at an energy-emission rate of 5.0 mW. A detector in the beam’s path totally absorbs the beam. At what rate per unit area does the detector absorb photons?
Under ideal conditions, a visual sensation can occur in the human visual system if the light of wavelength 550nm is absorbed by the eye’s retina at a rate as low as 100 photons per second. What is the corresponding rate at which energy is absorbed by the retina?
