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

Exercise 52 gives the Boltzmann distribution for the special case of simple harmonic oscillators, expressed in terms of the constant, N0/(2s+1)and Exercise 53 gives the two quantum distributions in that case. Show that both quantum distributions converge to the Boltzmann in the limitkBT.

Equation (9-27) gives the density of states for a system of oscillators but ignores spin. The result, simply one state per energy change ofbetween levels, is incorrect if particles are allowed different spin states at each level, but modification to include spin is easy. From Chapter 8, we know that a particle of spinis allowedspin orientations, so the number of states at each level is simply multiplied by this factor. Thus,

D(E)=(2s+1)/h0.

(a) Using this density of states, the definitionNh0/(2s+1)=1, and

N=0N(E)D(E)dE

calculate the parameterin the Boltzmann distribution (9-31) and show that the distribution can thus be rewritten as

N(E)Boltz=kBT1eE/kBT

(b) Argue that ifkBT>>,the occupation number is much less than 1 for all E.

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?
