But i still dont. Partition function and blackbody radiation.

This video gives the statistical physics background needed to understand the black body paradox.

Black body radiation statistical mechanics. Im not trying to break statistical mechanics or something stupid like that. A blackbody is an idealized object which absorbs and emits all frequencies. The classical and quantum mechanical partition functions are discussed and are subsequently used to carry out derivations of the basic thermodynamic properties of several different systems.

Topics discussed include plancks black body radiation derivation. The splendors and miseries of classical statistical mechanics. Although black body radiation was not the only system that violates classical statistical mechanics equipartition theorem identified at that time others including the abnormalities of specific heat capaci.

Classical physics can be used to derive an equation which describes the intensity of blackbody radiation as a function of frequency for a fixed temperature the result is known as the rayleigh jeans law. Because of its simplicity and elegance. Good references are wikipedia articles or.

Blackbody radiation boltzmann statistics temperature and equilibrium penner chapters 1 and 2 has great detailsa good statistical mechanics book like davidson chapters 7 12 is a good source for further information especially on statistical aspects. After a brief historical review of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics the basic principles of statistical mechanics are presented. Of course i know what black body radiation is like everyone else who has taken a thermal or statistical physics course.

Boltzmann distribution phase transformations in binary mixtures statistics of ideal quantum systems black body radiation bose einstein condensation. It covers ensemble theory and the equipartition theorem. The first result was something i was asked to prove on a homework assignment and the second result was used by my prof to demonstrate the stefan boltzmann law.

Classical statistical mechanics could by this time be applied to the problem. The problem of black body radiation which physicists initially wrongly believed would soon be gone signalled the start of the era of quantum mechanics. But it was recently pointed out to me that one thing that is rarely taught including to me is what the mechanism for the radiation is.

At the particle level how does black body radiation arise which radiative process is. Physics 611 statistical mechanics. Microcanonical ensemble in quantum statistical mechanics.

As a hundred years of quantum mechanics have passed physics is once again at a turning point. Ask question asked 4 years.
