Calculating Quanta Emitted by a Blackbody at 500 C

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the number of quanta emitted by a blackbody at 500 C (773.15 K) with an intensity of 2.0 W/m^2, the peak wavelength can be determined using Wien's displacement law, resulting in a λmax of 3750 nm. The intensity provided is related to the energy emitted per unit area, which can be integrated over all wavelengths to find total energy. The relationship J=∫^{∞}_{0}J_{λ}(T)dλ is crucial for calculating the total energy radiated. Further calculations will involve converting the energy to the number of quanta using the energy of a single photon. This approach will yield the desired number of quanta emitted per second per square meter.

Homework Statement



The temperature of a blackbody is 500 C. If the intensity of the emitted radiation, 2.0 W/m^2, were due entirely to the most intense frequency component, how many quanta of radiation would be emiteed per second per square meter?

Homework Equations



λmaxT = 2.90 x 10^-3 m K


The Attempt at a Solution



I'm not sure where to begin or how to use intensity.
500 C = 773.15 K

I calculated λmax = 2.90 x 10^-3 m K / 773.15 K = 3750 nm or 3.75 x 10 ^-6 m. I'm not sure where to go from here. Please help. Thank you!

A useful relationship to consider is this one:

J=∫^{∞}_{0}J_{λ}(T)dλ

This tells you the total energy radiated per unit time per unit surface area of a black body.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
