For the thermal radiation from an ideal blackbody radiator with a surface temperature of 2000 K, let Ic represent the intensity per unit wavelength according to the classical expression for the spectral radiancy and IP represent the corresponding intensity per unit wavelength according to the Planck expression.What is the ratio Ic/IP for a wavelength of (a) 400 nm (at the blue end of the visible spectrum) and (b) 200 mm (in the far infrared)? (c) Does the classical expression agree with the Planck expression in the shorter wavelength range or the longer wavelength range?

An argon laser emits a beam of light of wavelength 4.88 × 10-7 m, the power in the beam being 100mW. How many photons per second are emitted by the laser? If the beam falls on the cesium cathode of a photocell, what photoelectric current would be observed, assuming 10% of the photons are able to eject an electron?Given that the limiting frequency v0 of cesium is 5.2 × 1014Hz, what reverse potential difference between the cell electrodes is needed to suppress the photocell current?
