Answer:
a) What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody?
The total emitted energy per unit of time and per unit of area depends in its temperature (Stefan-Boltzmann law).
The peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (Wien’s displacement law).
The spectral density energy is related with the temperature and the wavelength (Planck’s law).
b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave length of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?
The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.
Explanation:
A blackbody is an ideal body that absorbs all the thermal radiation that hits its surface, thus becoming an excellent emitter, as these bodies express themselves without light radiation, and therefore they look black.
The radiation of a blackbody depends only on its temperature, thus being independent of its shape, material and internal constitution.
If it is study the behavior of the total energy emitted from a blackbody at different temperatures, it can be seen how as the temperature increases the energy will also increase, this energy emitted by the blackbody is known as spectral radiance and the result of the behavior described previously is Stefan's law:
(1)
Where is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature.
The Wien’s displacement law establish how the peak of emission of the spectrum will be displace to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (inversely proportional):
(2)
Planck’s law relate the temperature with the spectral energy density (shape) of the spectrum:
(3)
b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wavelength of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?
It is need it to known the temperature of both objects before doing the comparison. That can be done by means of the Wien’s displacement law.
Equation (2) can be rewrite in terms of T:
(4)
Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue:
Before replacing all the values in equation (4), (450 nm) will be express in meters:
⇒
Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red:
Following the same approach above:
⇒
Comparison:
The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.
Answer:
Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force
Explanation:
There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:
- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by
where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.
The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.
- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.
At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
