Radiation law

This is known as the Planck radiation law. Figure A2.2.3 shows this spectral density fiinction. The surface temperature of a hot body such as a star can be estimated by approximating it by a black body and measuring the frequency at which the maximum emission of radiant energy occurs. It can be shown that the maximum of the Planck spectral density occurs at 2.82. So a measurement of yields an estimate of the... 

The fixed points in the lTS-90 are given in Tabie 11.39. Platinum resistance thermometers are recommended for use between 14 K and 1235 K (the freezing point of silver), calibrated against the fixed points. Below 14 K either the vapor pressure of helium or a constant-volume gas thermometer is to be used. Above 1235 K radiometry is to be used in conjunction with the Planck radiation law,...

The ITS-90 has its lowest point at 0.65 K and extends upward without specified limit. A number of values assigned to fixed points differ from those of the immediately previous scale, IPTS-68. In addition, the standard platinum resistance thermometer (SPRC) is specified as the interpolation standard from 13.8033 K to 961.78°C, and the interpolation standard above 961.78°C is a radiation thermometer based on Planck s radiation law. Between 0.65 and 13.8033 K interpolation of the scale rehes upon vapor pressure and constant-volume gas thermometry. The standard thermocouple, which in previous scales had a range between the upper end of the SPRT range and the lower end of the radiation thermometer range, has been deleted.

The ITS 90 was adopted by the Comite International des Poids et Mesures in September 1989 [14-16], The ITS 90 extends from 0.65 K to the highest temperatures, practicably measurable in terms of the Planck radiation law using monochromatic radiation. The defining fixed points of the ITS 90 are mostly phase transition temperatures of pure substances given in Table 8.2. 

Above the freezing point of silver, Tgq is defined in terms of a defining fixed point and the Planck radiation law, and optical pyrometers are frequently used as temperature probes. The Comite Consultatif de Thermometrie gives a thorough discussion of the different techniques for approximation of the international temperature scale of 1990 [2, 4],...

The early years of the twentieth century saw giant advances in man s understanding of nature which must be mentioned in any synopsis of the scientific history of this era. Thus, in 1901, M. Planck (NLP 1918 ) published his first paper on the black-body radiation law which ushered in the era of quantum mechanics. In 1905, A. Einstein (NLP 1918 ) published his Anna Mirabilis Papers on the photo effect, on Brownian motion, and on the theory of special relativity and the equivalence of matter and energy. 

This is Planck s famous radiation law, which predicts a spectral energy density, p , of the thermal radiation that is fully consistent with the experiments. Figure 2.1 shows the spectral distribution of the energy density p for two different temperatures. As deduced from Equation (2.2), the thermal radiation (also called blackbody radiation) from different bodies at a given temperature shows the same spectral shape. In expression (2.2), represents the energy per unit time per unit area per frequency interval emitted from a blackbody at temperature T. Upon integration over all frequencies, the total energy flux (in units of W m ) - that is, Atot = /o°° Pv Av - yields...

With a nonzero rest mass one would at a first glance expect a photon gas to have three degrees of freedom two transverse and one longitudinal. This would alter Planck s radiation law by a factor of, in contradiction with experience [20]. A detailed analysis based on the Proca equation shows, however, that the B3 spin field cannot be involved in a process of light absorbtion [5]. This is also made plausible by the present model of Sections VII and VIII, where the spin field is carried away by the pilot field. As a result, Planck s law is recovered in all practical cases [20]. In this connection it has also to be observed that transverse photons cannot penetrate the walls of a cavity, whereas this is the case for longitudinal photons which would then not contribute to the thermal equilibrium [43]. 

The interaction processes between UV-Vis photons and the outer electrons of the atoms of the analytes can be understood using quantum mechanics theory. In the thermodynamic equilibrium between matter and interacting electromagnetic radiation, according to the radiation laws postulated by Einstein, three basic processes between two stable energy levels 1 and 2 are possible. These processes, which can be defined by their corresponding transition probabilities, are summarised in Figure 1.3.

For recording of the emission spectrum, the emitted radiation is focussed on the slit of a monochromator and intensities measured attach wavelength. Since sensitivities of photocells or photomultipliers are wavelength dependent, a standardization of the detector-monochromator combination is necessary for obtaining true emission spectrum This can be done by using a standard lamp of known colour temperature whose emission characteristics is obtained from Planck s radiation law. The correction term is applied to the instrumental readings at each wavelength. Very often substances whose emission spectra have been accurately determined in the units of relative quanta per unit wavenumber intervals are... 

Theoretically one may calculate the number of quanta available from a flash of known energy and colour temperature. If the colour temperature is 6000 K, from Planck s radiation law it can be estimated that 12%...

Since the background of infrared emission spectroscopy is not so well established as for absorption spectroscopy, it is more difficult to predict the intensity of infrared emission bands. However, simplified calculations involving Planck s radiation law and Kirchhoff s law (68), and Einstein s emission and absorption coefficients (64), show that an emission band... 

Planck s radiation law determines the power emitted by a small aperture in a cavity, which is at a given equilibrium temperature. The spectral flux emitted by an isotropic blackbody source into a solid angle 2 = 2rr sin 0r (where 9r is the angular radius of the first optical element of the spectrometer) is ...
