Answer to Problem 1CQ

Ultraviolet Catastrophe is an event causing great and usually sudden damage or suffering when an ideal black body at thermal equilibrium emits radiation with infinite power.

Explanation of Solution

Ultraviolet Catastrophe is a classical prediction and is also known as Rayleigh–Jeans catastrophe.

Here the term Ultraviolet refers to the fact that the problem appears in short wavelength region of electromagnetic spectrum whereas the term Catastrophe refers to n event causing great and usually sudden damage or suffering.

Ultraviolet Catastrophe predicts that an ideal black body at thermal equilibrium will emit radiation in all frequency ranges and it emits more energy when the value of frequency increases with infinite power.

The expression for the energy is,

Eλ=8πkTλ4

Here,

k is the Boltzmann Constant.

T is the temperature.

λ is the wavelength of electromagnetic wave.

The above equation can explain the energy distribution curves for longer wavelengths satisfactorily, but fails to explain the curves for smaller wavelengths.

Integrate the above equation from zero to infinity.

0Eλ=08πkTλ4=

Conclusion:

Therefore, Ultraviolet Catastrophe is an event causing great and usually sudden damage or suffering when an ideal black body at thermal equilibrium emits radiation with infinite power.

A student measuring the wavelength produced by a vapour lamp directed the lightthrough two slits with a separation of 0.20 mm. An interference pattern was created on the screen,3.00 m away. The student found that the distance between the first and the eighth consecutive darklines was 8.0 cm. Draw a quick picture of the setup. What was the wavelength of the light emittedby the vapour lamp?
A ball is tied to one end of a string. The other end of the string is fixed. The ball is set in motion around a vertical circle without friction. At the top of the circle, the ball has a speed of ; = √√ Rg, as shown in the figure. At what angle should the string be cut so that the ball will travel through the center of the circle? The path after string is cut R
(a) A luggage carousel at an airport has the form of a section of a large cone, steadily rotating about its vertical axis. Its metallic surface slopes downward toward the outside, making an angle of 24.5° with the horizontal. A 30.0-kg piece of luggage is placed on the carousel, 7.46 m from the axis of rotation. The travel bag goes around once in 37.5 s. Calculate the magnitude of the force of static friction between the bag and the carousel. Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. N (b) The drive motor is shifted to turn the carousel at a higher constant rate of rotation, and the piece of luggage is bumped to a position 7.94 m from the axis of rotation. The bag is on the verge of slipping as it goes around once every 30.5 s. Calculate the coefficient of static friction between the bag and the carousel. Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the…
