QUANTUM PHYSICS

Black body: A perfect black body is one which absorbs all the radiation of heat falling on it

and emits all the radiation when heated in an isothermal enclosure. The heat radiation emitted by the black body is called black body radiation. Laws of Black body radiation: Wien’s displacement law:

This law states that the product of the maximum wavelength (Om) corresponding

to the maximum energy and the absolute temperature is a constant.

λmT=constant λm = constant

T λm ∝

1 T

i.e. when the temperature increases the wavelength corresponding to

the maximum energy decreases. Wien’s radiation law: The maximum energy radiated at peak wavelength is directly proportional to the

fifth power of the absolute temperature (T5).

i.e. ∝ 5 = Constant 5

The energy density is derived as: = − − . − 2 = 1 −5

, Where C1 and C2 are constants. 1 = ℎ , and 2 = ℎ .

Limitation: This law holds well only for the short wavelength and not for the longer wavelength. Raleigh – Jean’s Law: S.KALPANA, DEPT OF APPLIED PHYSICS SVCE

QUANTUM PHYSICS

This law states that the energy distribution is directly proportional to absolute

temperature (T) and inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength

(O4).

i.e. ∝ 4 =

Limitation: This law holds well only for the longer wavelength and not for

the shorter wavelength.

Planck’s quantum theory of black body radiation:

Planck’s theory:

1. A black body contains a large number of oscillating particles: 2. Each particle is vibrating with a characteristic frequency. 3. The frequency of radiation emitted by the oscillator is the same as the

oscillator frequency.

4. The oscillator can absorb energy in multiples of small unit called quantum. 5. This quantum of radiation is called photon. 6. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to the frequency of

radiation emitted. E∝ν o E=hν

7. An oscillator vibrating with frequency can only emit energy in integral multiples of hQ. n= hν , whe e = , , , ……. . is alled ua tu u e .

Planck’ law of radiation:

The energy density of radiations emitted by a black body at a temperature T

in the wavelength range O to O+dO is given by

1) Wien’s law holds good when wavelength O is small.( Q is large)

2) Therefore > 1 and

is very large compared to 1.

3) Neglecting 1 in equation (16)

O = − − − −

O

4) Equation (18) represents Wien’s law. 5) Thus Planck’s law reduces to Wien’s law at shorter wavelength.

II. Raleigh- Jean’s law:

1) Raleigh- jean’s law holds good when wavelength O is large.( Q is small). ℎ

2) Therefore< 1 and expanding we get (1+ )

Scattering of X-Rays:

Two Kinds:

1. Coherent scattering or classical scattering or

Thomson scattering

2. Incoherent scattering or Compton scattering

Coherent scattering:

1. X rays are scattered without any change in wavelength. 2. Obeys classical electromagnetic theory

Compton scattering:

1. Scattered beam consists of two wavelengths. 2. One is having same wavelength as the incident beam 3. The other is having a slightly longer wavelength called modified beam.

Compton scattering:

1. When a beam of high frequency radiation is scattered by a substance of low

atomic number the scattered radiations consists of two lines.

2. One is having the same wavelength O as the incident beam 3. The other is having slightly longer wavelength. 4. This change in wavelength of the scattered X rays is known as the Compton

shift.

5. This effect is called Compton Effect.

Theory of Compton Effect:

1. Compton treated this scattering as the interaction between X ray and

the matter as a particle collision between X ray photon and loosely

bound electron in the matter.

2. Consider an X ray photon of frequency Q striking an electron at rest.

3. This Photon is scattered through an angle T to x-axis.

4. Let the frequency of the scattered photon be Q’.

5. During collision the photon gives energy to the electron. 6. This electron moves with a velocity V at an angle I to x axis. 7. Total energy before collision: Energy of the incident photon = Q

Energy of the electron at rest = = where m0 is the rest mass of electron and C the velocity of light.

Therefore total energy before collision = = Q + Total energy after collision: Final energy of the photon= = Q′ Final energy of the scattered photon = 2, where m is the mass of electron and C the velocity of light. Therefore total energy after collision = ℎQ′ + 2

By the law of conservation of energy, Total energy before collision = Total energy after collision i.e. Q + = Q′ +

2 = ℎQ − ℎQ′ + 02

Initial momentum of photon along x axis = =

Initial momentum of electron along x axis = 0

9. Total momentum along x axis after collision: The momentum is resolved along x axis and y axis.

10. Total momentum along y axis before collision: Initial momentum of photon along y axis = 0 Initial momentum of electron along y axis = 0 Total momentum before collision along y axis= 0

11. Total momentum along y axis after collision:

Final momentum of photon along y axis = = Q′ T
