Energy - Blackbody Radiation

Question 1

Maxwell Equations

Answer 1

Describes behaviour of electric and magnetic fields, and how they relate to one another, describing their manifestations of the same phenomenon

Question 2

Why did determinisitc physics collapse?

Answer 2

Ultraviolet Catrastrophe and non-existence of luminiferous aether

Question 3

Ultraviolet Catastrophe

Answer 3

A prediction by classicaly electromagnetism that intensity of black body radiation at thermal equilibrium goes to finifinity as wavelength decreases.

Question 4

Rayleigh-Jeans Law

Answer 4

Black bodies in thermal equilibrium emit radiaiton at all frequencies, as it increases, so does energy of radiation emission

Question 5

Luminiferous Aether

Answer 5

This is the volume medium of space light propogates

Question 6

What are the maxwell equations based on?

Answer 6

Luminferous aether

Question 7

What is blackbody radiation a function of in classical physics?

Answer 7

Frequency for a fixed temperature(Rayleight jeans law_

Question 8

What did planck describe light as to resolve UV catastrophe?

Answer 8

Described light as discrete quanta of energy called photons

Question 9

Newtons Corpuscular Theory of LIght

Answer 9

Said that light was made of particles having neglible mass

Question 10

Blackbody

Answer 10

A theoretical model absorbing wave lengths of all frequencies, yet only emitting wavelengths characteirsitc of its own temperature

Question 11

Wiens Displacement Law

Answer 11

Describes how blackbody temperature increase means overall radiated energy increases, meaning peaks of raidation curve become shorter.

Question 12

Stefan Boltzmann Law

Answer 12

Says flux density emitted by a blackbody, is to the fourth power proportional of its absolute temperature.
