91Ó°ÊÓ

(a) Write the Planck distribution law in terms of the frequency f, rather than the wavelength λ, to obtain I(f). (b) Show that

∫0∞ I(λ)dλ=2π5k415c2h3T4

where I(λ) is the Planck distribution formula of Eq. (39.24). Hint: Change the integration variable fromλto f. You will need to use the following tabulated integral:

∫0∞ x3eαx−1dx=1240(2πα)4

(c) The result of part (b) is I and has the form of the Stefan– Boltzmann law, l=σT4(Eq. 39.19). Evaluate the constants in part (b) to show thatσhas the value given in Section 39.5.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Planck’s distribution law in terms of frequencyv=2πhv5c3ehckT−1

(b) Proved I=2Ï€2k4T415c2h3

(c) The constant is σ=5.67×10−8W/m2⋅K4

Step by step solution

01

Planck distribution formula

I(λ)=2πhc2λ5ehc/λKT−1

02

Value of I(f)

(a) according to Planck's radiation law

I(λ)=2πhc2λ5ehcλkT−1

using the following relationship to calculate the speed of light;

c=vλλ=cv

through substitution;

I=2πhc2cv5ehcvkT−1=2πhv5c3hvkT−1

Hence, in terms of frequency, the Planck's distribution law is;

v=2πhv5c3ehckT−1

03

To prove the Planck distribution formula

(b) The total intensity is given by the equation;

I=∫0∞ I(λ)dλ=∫0∞ I(v)−cv2d=∫0∞ 2πhv5c3hvkT−1−cv2dv=∫0∞ 2πhv3c2hvkT−1dv

Let x=hvkT, and then differentiate both sides by dx=hkTdv. The wavelength will be v=kTxh. substituting as well.

I=∫0∞ 2πhv3c2hvkT−1dv=∫0∞ 2πhkThx3c2ex−1kThdx

therefore;

I=∫0∞ 2πhkThx3c2ex−1kThdx=2π(kT)4c2h3∫0∞ x3ex−1dx

using the tabulated integral value as a substitute,

I=∫0∞ 2πhkThx2c2ex−1kThdx=2π(kT)4c2h3∫0∞ x3ex−1dx=2π(kT)4c2h31240(2π)4=2π2k4T415c2h3

Hence, proved l=2Ï€2k4T415c2h3

04

Evaluating the constant

(c) The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is given by the equation;

σ=2π15c2h3=2π21.381×10−234(5800k)4153×108m/s26.626×10−343=5.67×10−8W/m2⋅K4

Hence, the constant isσ=5.67×10−8W/m2⋅K4
