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

Physics
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]4 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.

Which is carried by waves?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Waves carry energy from one place to another. Because waves carry energy, some waves are used for communication, eg radio and television waves and mobile telephone signals. Some types of waves need to be transmitted through matter, either a solid, liquid or a gas. For example, water waves have to travel in water.

Why is it important that a football defender should have a lot of mass​
mihalych1998 [28]

It is important that a football defender should have a lot of mass because of Defenders are aggressive .

  • They aren't afraid to make strong tackles and use their body.

  • They attack balls with their heads and get in front of shots.

  • Play so aggressive that players are scared to receive the ball.

• The role of the first defender is further broken down into four steps :- Approach , Delay , Control and Tackle ..

When a liquid is introduced into the air space between the lens and the plate in a Newton's-rings apparatus, the diameter of the
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

n_l=1.58

Explanation:

Newton's ring equation relates the initial and final diameter of the ring, to the index of refraction of the air and the index of refraction of the liquid between the lens and the plates, as follows:

n_ld_f^2=n_ad_i^2

Solving for :

n_l=n_a\frac{d_i^2}{d_f^2}\\

Recall that the refractive index of the air is 1. So, replacing the given diameters:

n_l=\frac{(1.52cm)^2}{(1.21cm)^2}\\\\n_l=1.58

Two objects are held close together. When they are released, they move toward one another. Which conclusion is supported by this
Liula [17]

Answer:

The objects have opposite charges.​

Explanation:

The object when released are moving towards each other simply because they attract each other.

  • According to coulombs law of charges, like charges repel and will move away from one another.
  • Unlike charges attracts and moves towards one another
  • Since the objects are coming towards each other, they are of opposite charges.
