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

Cerrena [4.2K]

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.

An advertising balloon shaped like a giant soda can is 15 feet tall and 7 feet wide. How many cubic feet of helium will be neede

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

576.975 cubic feet of helium will be needed to fully inflate the balloon

Explanation:

To determine how many cubic feet of helium will be needed to fully inflate the balloon, we will determine the volume of the balloon.

From the question,

The balloon is shaped like a giant soda can.

A giant soda can is cylindrical.

Hence, we can determine the volume of the balloon shaped like a giant soda can by using the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder.

The formula for finding the volume of a cylinder is

V = πr²h

Where V is the volume of the cylinder

π is a constant (Take π = 3.14)

r is the radius of the cylinder

and h is the height of the cylinder

From the question, the balloon is 15 feet tall and 7 feet wide

Hence,

Height, h = 15 feet

Width = 7 feet

(NOTE: The width of a cylinder is the same as the diameter)

Then, diameter = 7 feet

Radius, r is given by

Radius = Diameter / 2

Then, Radius = 7 feet / 2 = 3.5 feet

∴ Radius, r = 3.5 feet

Now, for the volume of the balloon,

V = πr²h

V = 3.14 × (3.5)² × 15

V = 3.14 × 12.25 × 15

V = 576.975 cubic feet

This is the volume of the balloon.

Hence, 576.975 cubic feet of helium will be needed to fully inflate the balloon.

Your outlets at home are rated at 120 V, i.e. the two prongs have on average a potential difference of 120V. If you transfer 2.7

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

E =230.4 MJ

Explanation:

As 1 mole of electron = 6X 10^23 particles.

charge of an electron is 1.6 X 10 ^-19 C

Finding Charge:

(6X10^23 ) (2.7)(1.6X10^-19 C)

i.e. 192 K C

now to find the energy released from electrons

V=E/q

E=V X q

i.e E = 120 V X 192 K C

E =230.4 MJ

What was the name of charles lindbergh’s single winged airplane for his solo flight across the atlantic?

aev [14]

Answer:

Spirit of St. Louis

Explanation:

Charles Lindbergh was known as a prolific aviator during the early twentieth century. He is well known for the flight he took from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France. It was a continuous flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

The plane he used was the Spirit of St. Louis which took more than 33 hours to complete the journey. It was the first successful flight of this kind. The airplane flew from Long Island on May 20 and landed in Paris on May 21.
