A small hole in the wall of a cavity in an object of any kind behaves like a blackbody because any radiation that falls on it is trapped inside by reflections from the cavity wall unit it is absorbed. At what rate does radiation escape from a hole of area 30cm2 in the wall surface whose interior temperature is 600°C?

A particle of ionizing radiation creates 4,600 ion pairs in the gas inside a Geiger tube as it passes through. What minimum energy (in J) was deposited, if 21.0 eV is required to create each ion pair? If all of this energy is converted to thermal energy in the gas, what is its temperature increase (in K), assuming 55.0 cm3 of ideal gas at 0.300 atm pressure? (The small answer is consistent with the fact that the energy is large on a quantum mechanical scale but small on a macroscopic scale. Assume the initial temperature of the gas is 293 K.)
