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.

A 0.150-kg cart that is attached to an ideal spring with a force constant (spring constant) of 3.58 N/m undergoes simple harmoni
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

E = 0.01 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the cart, m = 0.15 kg

The force constant of the spring, k = 3.58 N/m

The amplitude of the oscillations, A = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

We need to find the total mechanical energy of the system. It can be given by the formula as follows :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

Put all the values,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.58\times (0.075)^2\\\\=0.01\ J

So, the value of total mechanical energy is equal to 0.01 J.
