The electromagnetic intensity of all wavelengths thermally radiated by a body of temperature T is given by
where
This is the Stefan-Boltzmann Law. To derive it. show that the total energy of the radiation in a volume V attemperature T is by integrating Planck's spectral energy density over all frequencies. Note that
Intensity, or power per unit area, is then the product of energy per unit volume and distance per unit time. But because the intensity is a flow in a given direction away from the blackbody, c is not the correct speed. For radiation moving uniformly in all directions, the average component of velocity in a given direction is .
An X-ray source of unknown wavelength is directed at a carbon sample. An electron is scattered with a speed of at an angle of.Determine the wavelength of the X-ray source.
A low-intensity beam of light is sent toward a narrow single slit. On the far side, individual flashes are seen sporadically at detectors over a broad area that is orders of magnitude wider than the slit width. What aspects of the experiment suggest a wave nature for light, and what aspects suggest a particle nature?
A photon has the same momentum as an electron moving at.
(a) Determine the photon's wavelength.
(b) What is the ratio of the kinetic energies of the two?
According to Wien's Law, the wavelength of maximum thermal emission of electromagnetic energy from a body of temperature Tobeys
localid="1660036169367"
Show that this law follows from the spectral energy density obtained in Exercise 13. Obtain an expression that, when solved, would yield the wavelength at which this function is maximum. The transcendental equation cannot be solved exactly, so it is enough to show thatlocalid="1660036173306" solves it to a reasonable degree of precision.
