Question #1
a) Plot the energy spectral density p(2) of black-body radiation at T=3000 K and at 7= 5000 K.
(These correspond to the apparent temperatures of "warm white" and "cool white" light bulbs.)
(Note: Show both curves on a single graph, using a standard plotting software. Report the wave-
length in nanometers.)
b) For each of these two temperatures, at which wavelength is the radiation intensity maximum?
(Note: Report the wavelengths in nanometers. Your answers should be consistent with the curves
from part a), of course.)
Show detailed solutions (if there are any derivations of formulas kindly include it in the solution, thank you!)
How would you calculate what is the percentage of the blackbody radiation from a source at 300 K in the wavelength region from 8 to 14 um? (This is the so-called window in the earth's atmosphere.) Do not solve it numerically just explain how you would solve it (write the necessary equation).

- Concentrate on lead element. All isotopes are listed in the table. Isotope masses are listed in AMU (atomic mass unit) and value of AMU is given in Physical Constants section below this document together with other physical constants. An ionizing laser is directed onto the lead block under test such that the ionized atoms (or isotopes) leaves the lead block with an initial kinetic energy of 1 eV. The direction is conically upward but sure that the cone is larger than the entrance hole to the accelerator section. The ionized isotopes are in form. That is only a single electron is missing in lead ions. The number of ionized isotopes entering into the accelerator region corresponds to a ion current. These ions are accelerated with a constant DC voltage in the acceleration chamber which is in the form of two parallel metal plates that have a hole in both bottom and top. Then the ions enter to velocity selector region. In this region both electric and magnetic fields are applied.
