Assuming that your surface temperature is 98.6°F and that you are an ideal blackbody radiator (you are close), find (a) the wavelength at which your spectral radiancy is maximum, (b) the power at which you emit thermal radiation in a wavelength range of 1.00 nm at that wavelength, from a surface area of 4.00 cm2, and (c) the corresponding rate at which you emit photons from that area. Using a wavelength of 500 nm (in the visible range), (d) recalculate the power and (e) the rate of photon emission. (As you have noticed, you do not visibly glow in the dark.)
It is stated without proof with respect to Bragg’s law that when the atoms are not sym- metrically disposed to the incident and reflected beams (Fig. 8.3(b)), the path difference (AB + BC) = 2dhkl sin θ . Prove, using very simple geometry, that this is indeed the case.
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?
