Black body radiation & Planck constant (h)

Image
                    Black body radiation ⚫.... Blackbody radiation and Planck's constant are fundamental concepts in physics that are closely related to each other. Let's start by understanding each concept individually. 1. Blackbody Radiation: A blackbody is an idealized object that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation and emits radiation across a wide range of frequencies. Blackbody radiation is the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a blackbody when it is in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings. The key characteristics of blackbody radiation are: - Continuous Spectrum: Blackbody radiation exhibits a continuous spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, which means it covers a wide range of frequencies. The spectrum includes all wavelengths, from infrared to visible light to ultraviolet and beyond. - Intensity Distribution: The intensity of blackbody radiation at different wavelengths is not uniform. It follows...

                  Quantum mechanics .... Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It was developed in the early 20th century to explain phenomena that classical physics couldn't account for, particularly the behavior of particles at the quantum level. Here are some key concepts and principles in quantum mechanics: 1. Wave-particle duality: Quantum mechanics introduced the idea that particles, such as electrons and photons, can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. This means that particles can behave as waves and have associated wavelengths and frequencies.                                               2. Superposition: According to quantum mechanics, particles can...

The wave particle duality

                      The wave particle duality  Wave-particle duality is a fundamental concept in quantum physics that describes the dual nature of particles and waves. It states that particles, such as electrons or photons, can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties depending on the experimental setup or the observation being made. According to classical physics, particles were considered to be discrete entities with well-defined positions and velocities, while waves were described as continuous oscillations propagating through a medium. However, experiments conducted in the early 20th century, such as the famous double-slit experiment, revealed phenomena that couldn't be explained by classical physics alone. In the double-slit experiment, when a beam of light or a stream of particles is passed through two closely spaced slits, an interference pattern is observed on a screen behind the slits. This pat...
