  1. Blackbody

  2. Radiated electromagnetic energy is the source of radiated thermal energy. Depends on wavelength Objects can emit and absorb electromagnetic energy. Emission coefficient el Absorption coefficient al Expect a distribution Il that depends on temperature. Kirchhoff’s Radiation

  3. A black object is perfectly absorbing. Absorption coefficient is 1 The distribution is just due to emission. An isolated cavity with a narrow hole radiates like a perfectly black body at the same temperature (1859). Black Body

  4. The total power from a blackbody is defined by the power per unit area. W/m3 The power radiated varied with temperature. Fourth power (1879) Stefan-Boltzmann law (1884). Real objects have a factor for emissivity. Blackbody Power

  5. intensity high energy low energy frequency Radiation Spectrum • The frequency spectrum power is a function of temperature. • Wl(l,T) • Earth surface: 300 K  20 ºC • Sun surface: 5800 K  6100 ºC • Sun interior: 1.57107 K

  6. Classical thermodynamics predicted that the power emitted would increase at higher frequency. Infinite energy emitted Real data did not match this conclusion. intensity high energy low energy frequency Ultraviolet Catastrophe

  7. Emitted photon Moving charge Quanta of Light • Accelerated charges emit electromagnetic waves. • Planck assumed that oscillating charges emit only discrete energies (1900). • Energy is quantized.

  8. Planck established a relationship between the energy and frequency. Planck’s constant h Planck solved the Kirchhoff problem and UV catastrophe. Planck’s Radiation next
