BLACKBODY RADIATION & PLANCK’S HYPOTHESIS
•The black body is an ideal absorber of incident radaition.
•The emitted "thermal" radiation from a black body
characterizes the equilibrium temperature of the black-body.
•Emitted radiation from a blackbody does not depend on
the material of which the walls are made.

BLACKBODY RADIATION & PLANCK’S HYPOTHESIS
Basic Laws of Radiation
1) All objects emit radiant energy.
2) Hotter objects emit more energy (per unit area) than
colder objects. The total power of the emitted radiation
increases with temperature.
This is Stefan’s Law: P = A e T 4
(3) The peak of the wavelength distribution shifts to shorter
wavelengths as the black body RAYLEIGH-JEANS LAW
temperature increases
This is Wien’s Displacement Law:
λm T = constant
(4) The Rayleigh-Jeans Law:

Failure of this law in UV-region is

known as the ultraviolet
MIT- MANIPAL catastrophe.

This law explains the distribution of
energy from a black body in the entire

experimental data.

THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT
Experimental Observations
1. On illuminating plate E by light,
photoelectrons are emitted from E
and a current is detected in A.
2. KE of the most energetic
photoelectrons is, KMAX = e Vs
3. KMAX is independent of light
intensity.
4. Instantaneous effect

5. No photoemission for

increasing f

THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT
Classical Predictions
1. Electrons should absorb energy continuously from the
light waves and photoelectrons should be ejected for
all frequency
2. KE of the electrons should increase with intensity of light
3. Measurable/ larger time interval between incidence of
light and ejection of photoelectrons
4. Ejection of photoelectron should not depend on light
frequency
5. KMAX should not depend upon the frequency of the
incident light A

THE COMPTON EFFECT
Effect of oscillating
electromagnetic waves on electrons:
SCATTERED BEAM
(a) oscillations in electrons, re-radiation in all
directions
(b) radiation pressure - electrons accelerate in
the direction of propagation of the waves
Different electrons will
move at different speeds
after the interaction
The scattered wave frequency should
show a distribution of Doppler-shifted values 15

HEISENBERG UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE:
Impossible to make simultaneous measurements of a
particle’s position & momentum with infinite accuracy
If = 0, then p =0; but x =
If x is small, then is large
If x =0, then = p =
( x ) ( px) ≥ h / 4
x = UNCERTAINTY IN THE MEASUREMENT OF POSITION x OF THE PARTICLE
px = UNCERTAINTY IN THE MEASUREMENT OF MOMENTUM px
OF THE PARTICLE
Also ( E ) ( t ) ≥ h / 4
E = UNCERTAINTY IN THE MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY E OF THE SYSTEM
