That’s how weshowed that, in the limit of large λ, Planck’s law reduces to the classical prediction. Now assume that wewant to make a slightly better approximation. We still assume that λ is large and therefore (hc/λkbT)3 and(hc/λkbT)4 and all higher powers are negligible, but now we want to work at the level of precision where(hc/λkbT)2is not negligible. What does Planck’s law reduce to in this case?arrow_forward
- Explain why different elements produce different spectral absorption and emission lines. Calculate the wavelength of a photon that has an energy of 4.96 eV. (Hint: h*c {Planck's constant * the speed of light }= 1240 eV*nm;) What type of radiation/light (from the electromagnetic spectrum) is the photon from the previous question?
