For the thermal radiation from an ideal blackbody radiator with a surface temperature of 2100 K, let Ic represent the intensity per unit wavelength according to the classical expression for the spectral radiancy and Ip represent the corresponding intensity per unit wavelength according to the Planck expression. What is the ratio Ic/Ip for a wavelength of (a) 400 nm (at the blue end of the visible spectrum) and (b) 210 μm (in the far infrared)? (c) Does the classical expression agree with the Planck expression in the shorter wavelength range or the longer wavelength range?

In an experiment to measure the photon statistics of thermal light, the radiation from a blackbody source is filtered with an interference filter of bandwidth 0.1 nm centered on 500 nm, and allowed to fall on a photon-counting detector. Calculate the number of modes incident on the detector, and hence discuss the type of statistics that would be expected.

A solid surface is in diffusive and thermal equilibrium with a monatomic ideal gas at temperature t and chemical potential μ. An adsorption site on the solid surface can be either empty (energy ε0 = 0), singly occupied (ε1 = ε), or doubly occupied (ε2 = 2ε) by an atom from the gas. If two atoms adsorb onto the same site, they also interact by a vibrational mode of frequency w. Thus, the energy of a doubly occupied site can...
