The number of photon per unit volume

To get an expression for the number of photon per unit volume at some temperature R , equations (2) and (3) are inserted in equation (1), and simplified:

N=0N(E)D(E)dE=01eEkBT18蟺痴3c3E2dEN=8蟺痴3c30EeEkBT1dE

That can be simplified more by the use of the substitutions:

x=EkBTE=xkBTdE=kBTdx

So then substitute those into equation (6)

N=8蟺痴h3c30EeEkBT1dEN=8蟺痴h3c30(xkBT)2ex1(kBTdx)

N=8蟺痴kB3T3h3c30x2ex1dx

Equation (5) can then be used to fill in for the integral, N=8蟺痴kB3T33c30x2ex1dx

Substitute 1.381023J/Kfor kB,6.631034J.s for , and 3108m/s for c

N=8蟺痴(1.381023J/K)3T3(6.631034J.s)3(3108m/s)3(2.40)N=21071m3.K3VT3

03

The average energy of a photon.

To find the average energy of a photon isa cavity of volume V, use that the number of photonsNtimes the average energy of the photonsEis equal to the total energy of the photonsU:

U=NEE=UN

Put the value and solve

E=85vB4T415h3c38蟺痴kB3T33c30x2ex1dxE=4kBT150x2ex1dx

That can be simplified with equation (5) again

E=4kBT150x2ex1dxnE=415(2.40)kBTE2.7kBT

:In a certain design of helium-neon laser, the chamber containing these gases has a perfect mirror at one end. as usual, but only a window at the other, Beyond the window, is a region of free air space and then the second mirror, which is partially reflecting, allowing the beam to exit. The resonant cavity between the mirrors thus has a region free of the helium-neon gas-the "lasing material"-in which you can insert something. If you insert a sheet of clear plastic at any orientation in this region between the mirrors, the laser beam disappears. If the same sheet is placed in the beam outside the partially reflecting mirror, the beam passes through it, regardless of the orientation. Why?

Consider the two-sided room, (a) Which is more likely to have an imbalance of five particles (i.e. Nk=12N+S,S): a room withN=20or a room withrole="math" localid="1658330090284" N=60? (Note: The total number of ways of distributing particles. the sum ofWNhNfrom 0 toN, is2N.) (b) Which is more likely to have an imbalance of5%(i.e. NR=12N+0.05N,)? (c) An average-size room is quite likely to have a trillion mote air molecules on one side than on the other, what may we say that precisely half will be on each side?

The maximum wavelength light that will eject electrons from metal I via the photoelectric effect is410nm. For metal2, it is280nm. What would be the potential difference if these two metals were put in contact?

The electrons鈥 contribution to the heat capacity of a metal is small and goes to 0as T0. We might try to calculate it via the total internal energy, localid="1660131882505" U=EN(E)D(E)dE, but it is one of those integrals impossible to do in closed form, and localid="1660131274621" N(E)FDis the culprit. Still, we can explain why the heat capacity should go to zero and obtain a rough value.

(a) Starting withN(E)FDexpressed as in equation (34), show that the slope N(E)FDdEatE=EFis-1(4kBT).

(b) Based on part (a), the accompanying figure is a good approximation to N(E)FDwhen Tis small. In a normal gas, such as air, whenTis raised a little, all molecules, on average, gain a little energy, proportional to kBT. Thus, the internal energy Uincreases linearly with T, and the heat capacity, UT, is roughly constant. Argue on the basis of the figure that in this fermion gas, as the temperature increases from 0to a small value T, while some particles gain energy of roughly kBT, not all do, and the number doing so is also roughly proportional to localid="1660131824460" T. What effect does this have on the heat capacity?

(c)Viewing the total energy increase as simply U= (number of particles whose energy increases) (energy change per particle) and assuming the density of states is simply a constant Dover the entire range of particle energies, show that the heat capacity under these lowest-temperature conditions should be proportional to kBREFT. (Trying to be more precise is not really worthwhile, for the proportionality constant is subject to several corrections from effects we ignore).

Copper has one conduction electron per atom and a density of8.9103kg/m3. By the criteria of equation(943), show that at room temperature(300K), the conduction electron gas must be treated as a quantum gas of indistinguishable particles.
