explain the idea of blackbody radiation, include a discussion of the following topics: • Why is Planck’s law of radiation important in the history of physics? What are Wien’s law and the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and how are they related to Planck’s law? • How are these laws applied in astrophysics and other areas of science? Give some examples.

Consider the blackbody radiation emitted at a temperature of 500◦C. (i) Explain why a tungsten wire in an old-fashioned light-bulb starts to glow as it becomes sufficiently hot. (ii) Calculate the percentage pressure increase of the blackbody radiation if the temperature is raised to 550◦C. An electron escapes the hot tungsten wire and is subsequently trapped in a one-dimensional square quantum well. The potential outside the well can be approximated as infinite. (iii) Sketch the probability distribution of the electron...

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.

) Kragh states that quantum theory “owes is origin” to the problem of blackbody radiation. What was this problem? What were some other problems plaguing classical physics at the end of the 19th Century? (b) Briefly explain the history of attempts to solve the blackbody problem: Wien’s 1894 proof, Wien’s 1896 law, Planck’s 1899 derivation of Wien’s law, and Planck’s own radiation law (along with the “quantum hypothesis” made in Dec. of 1900). (c) How well these laws fit the...

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...

Blackbody radiation ranges over the entire spectrum 0 < λ < ∞. According to Plank’s law, a blackbody (the Sun, our bodies, incandescent light bulb filaments) with a surface temperature T, emit electromagnetic radiation with intensity I (T) = h c2 ∫ 1/[λ5 (eW -1) dl where W = h c/λ k T. Here k is Boltzmann’s constant, 1.38(10)-23 J/K and h is Plank’s constant. The integrand as a function of λ is well approximated by the graph f(λ) =...
