Blackbody radiation
Matter under irradiation:
Blackbody radiation
Colors of matter:
Absorbs everything: black
Reflects everything: white
Transparent for everything: no color
Absorbs everything, but yellow: yellow
Absorbs everything, but red: red
This is not an emission!

Stefan’s Law:
Radiancy, RT, is the total energy emitted per unit time per unit
area from a blackbody with temperature T

Statistical mechanics
Theorem of Equipartition of Energy:
Each degree of freedom contributes ½kT to the
energy of a system, where possible degrees of
freedom are those associated with translation,
rotation and vibration of molecules
Statistical mechanics
Boltzmann Distribution:
Distribution function (number density) nV(E):
It is defined so that nV(E) dE is the number of
molecules per unit volume with energy between E
and E + dE
Probability P(E):
It is defined so that P(E) dE is the probability to
find a particular molecule between E and E + dE

Rayleigh-Jeans formula
Cavity radiation:
• A good approximation of
a black body is a small
hole leading to the inside
of a hollow object
• The hole acts as a perfect
absorber
Energy density, ρT(ν), is the energy contained in a unit volume of
the cavity at temperature T between frequencies ν and ν+dν
T ( )  RT ( )
Rayleigh-Jeans formula
Electromagnetic waves in cavity:
E = Emax sin(2πx/λ) sin(2πνt)
With metallic walls,
E = 0 at the wall (x = 0,a)!
