Homework Statement
density of states of photon gas is proportional to ...
(a)E^1/2 (b)E (c)E^3/2 (d)E^2
Homework Equations
i know the relation for density of states of electrons which is proportional to E^1/2. So far i was thinking that electrons and photons shares the same relation for density of states. i found so in some websites too, where they mention about both electrons and photons during derivation procedure. but answer to the above question is E^2.
my question is, in what way does these two,i.e. density of states of photons and electrons, differs? does the relation for density of states equation for electrons holds good for any another particle? can someone provide me with a link for the derivation of density of states for photons?
