Explain why the wave model of light cannot explain the energy emissions from a blackbody

Physics
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As the temperature decreases, the peak of the black-body radiation curve moves to lower intensities and longer wavelengths. The black-body radiation graph is also compared with the classical model of Rayleigh and Jeans.

So as you see the wavelengths are in the x axis so all wavelengths are covered.

Black-body radiation provides insight into the thermodynamic equilibrium state of cavity radiation. If each Fourier mode of the equilibrium radiation in an otherwise empty cavity with perfectly reflective walls is considered as a degree of freedom capable of exchanging energy, then, according to the equipartition theorem of classical physics, there would be an equal amount of energy in each mode. Since there are an infinite number of modes this implies infinite heat capacity (infinite energy at any non-zero temperature), as well as an unphysical spectrum of emitted radiation that grows without bound with increasing frequency, a problem known as the ultraviolet catastrophe. Instead, in quantum theory the occupation numbers of the modes are quantized, cutting off the spectrum at high frequency in agreement with experimental observation and resolving the catastrophe. The study of the laws of black bodies and the failure of classical physics to describe them helped establish the foundations of quantum mechanics.

The above explains why the classical assumptions lead to a wrong spectrum.

Answer:

10000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car  = 1000kg

Acceleration = 3m/s²

g  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Weight of the car  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we must understand that weight is the vertical gravitational force that acts on a body.

 Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

    Weight  = 1000 x 10  = 10000N

A shopper walks westward 2.8 meters in the first 5 minutes and then eastward 9.2 meters in the next 10 minutes. What is the shop
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance walked westward  = 2.8m

Time of travel  = 5min

Distance walked eastward = 9.2m

Time of travel  = 10min

Unknown:

The total shopper's travel distance  = ?

Solution:

Total distance traveled is the sum of the length of path covered by a body. It is a scalar quantity.

 Total distance = distance walked westward + distance walked eastward

  Total distance  = 2.8m + 9.2m  = 12m

Newton’s second law of motion addresses the relationship between what two variables that influence the force on a body?
Helen [10]

Answer:

A. Mass and acceleration

Explanation:

  • According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum
  • Therefore; F = ma , where F is the resultant force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration of the body.
  • <u>Resultant force depends on the acceleration and the mass of a body in motion, an increase in acceleration causes a corresponding increase in resultant force.</u> A body with higher mass will have a larger strong force if the acceleration is kept constant.
