3.1 HERTZ’S EXPERIMENTS—LIGHT AS AN ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
• Light as an Electromagnetic waves
• The Electromagnetic waves behaves like light
• would be reflected by metal mirrors,
• would be refracted by dielectrics like glass.
• would exhibit polarization and interference, and would travel outward from the wire through a vacuum with a speed of 3.0 x 108 m/s.
![Page 4: THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT - Islamic University of Gazasite.iugaza.edu.ps/kelwasife/files/2014/01/ch-3.pdf · Chapter Outline • 3.1 Hertz’s ... • Light as an Electromagnetic](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eaadfa3cf97e1265f349d3a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• These properties led to the unifying and simplifying postulates that light was also a type of Maxwell wave or electromagnetic disturbance.

3.2 BLACKBODY RADIATION
• A blackbody is defined as:
an object that absorbs all
the electromagnetic
radiation falling on it and
consequently appears black
• The opening to the cavity
inside a body is a good
approximation of a blackbody
![Page 6: THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT - Islamic University of Gazasite.iugaza.edu.ps/kelwasife/files/2014/01/ch-3.pdf · Chapter Outline • 3.1 Hertz’s ... • Light as an Electromagnetic](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eaadfa3cf97e1265f349d3a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• A ray entering the cavity can leave it only after multiple reflection
• For a sufficiently small aperture all incoming radiation will be trapped inside the cavity , the surface of the aperture appears as a black body
![Page 7: THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT - Islamic University of Gazasite.iugaza.edu.ps/kelwasife/files/2014/01/ch-3.pdf · Chapter Outline • 3.1 Hertz’s ... • Light as an Electromagnetic](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eaadfa3cf97e1265f349d3a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Blackbody Radiation
• Problem : predict the spectral energy density u(f,T) of blackbody radiation
• According to Kirchhoff, the emitted power is proportional to the power absorbed. Or
where ef is the power emitted per unit area per unit frequency by
a particular heated object, Af is the absorption power and J( f, T)
is a universal function ,f: is the frequency, and T is the absolute
temperature of the body.
A blackbody absorbs all the incident power that is Af =1 for all
frequencies and so Kirchhoff’s law becomes
![Page 10: THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT - Islamic University of Gazasite.iugaza.edu.ps/kelwasife/files/2014/01/ch-3.pdf · Chapter Outline • 3.1 Hertz’s ... • Light as an Electromagnetic](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eaadfa3cf97e1265f349d3a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Equation 3.2 shows that the power emitted per unit area per
unit frequency by a blackbody depends only on temperature
and frequency. So blackbody is “ideal radiator”.
Stefan showed experimentally that the total power per unit area
emitted at all frequencies by a hot solid, e total, was proportional to the
fourth power of its absolute temperature. Therefore, Stefan’s law may
be written as
Stefan Law

EXAMPLE 3.1
• Estimate the surface temperature of the Sun from the following informations. The Sun’s radius is given by Rs = 7.0 x108 m. The average Earth–Sun distance is R = 1.5 x 1011 m. The power per unit area (at all frequencies) from the Sun is measured at the Earth to be 1400 W/m2. Assume that the Sun is a blackbody
• Solution: For a black body, we take a =1, so Equation 3.4 gives
where the notation e total(Rs) stands for the total power per unit area at the
surface of the Sun. Because the problem gives the total power per unit
area at the Earth, e total(R), we need the connection between e total(R) and e total(Rs)

or
Using Equation 3.5, we have

• As can be seen in Figure 3.3, the wavelength marking the maximum power emission of a blackbody, max, shifts toward shorter wavelengths as the blackbody gets hotter. i.e
Wien put his formula
where max is the wavelength in meters
and T is the absolute temperature of the glowing object
Wein Formula

• From Wein formula we can find the temperature of sun’s surface.
• Assume the peak sensitivity of human eye (about 500nm for blue-green light) is max,
Then using Wein formula , we have
With good agreement as in previous example.

Spectral energy density u(f,T) of a blackbody
• We defined J( f, T), the power radiated per unit area per unit frequency by the blackbody.
• Consider the spectral energy density , u( f, T), which is “ energy per unit volume per unit frequency of the radiation within the blackbody cavity”
• Both J( f, T) and u( f, T) are proportional . i.e
J( f, T) α u( f, T).
• It is found that the constant of proportionality is c/4 i.e
![Page 18: THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT - Islamic University of Gazasite.iugaza.edu.ps/kelwasife/files/2014/01/ch-3.pdf · Chapter Outline • 3.1 Hertz’s ... • Light as an Electromagnetic](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eaadfa3cf97e1265f349d3a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Wein proposed his exponential law for u(f,T) (1893) as
Where A and β are constants
This formula had been confirmed by experiment of Fridchich Paschen
![Page 19: THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT - Islamic University of Gazasite.iugaza.edu.ps/kelwasife/files/2014/01/ch-3.pdf · Chapter Outline • 3.1 Hertz’s ... • Light as an Electromagnetic](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eaadfa3cf97e1265f349d3a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Plank Radiation Formula(1990)
• Plank found the general formula for u(f,T) as
where h is Planck’s constant =6.626 x 10-34 J . s, and kB is Boltzmann’s constant =1.380 x 10-23 J/K. We can see that Equation 3.9 has the correct
limiting behavior at high and low frequencies with the help of a few
approximations.
•At high frequencies, where hf/kBT >>1, we omit 1 in the denominator
Which is Wein’s exponential law
![Page 20: THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT - Islamic University of Gazasite.iugaza.edu.ps/kelwasife/files/2014/01/ch-3.pdf · Chapter Outline • 3.1 Hertz’s ... • Light as an Electromagnetic](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eaadfa3cf97e1265f349d3a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
At low frequencies, where hf / kBT <<1
• Then we have
Which show that the spectral energy density is proportional to T in the low-frequency u( f, T) α T

The Quantum of Energy
• The energy spectrum of a classical oscillator is continuous
A: amplitude, k spring constant

• . Hence, each oscillator should emit radiation with a frequency corresponding to its vibration frequency.
• Plank assume that the energy spectrum of a resonator is discrete:
En =hf(n) ,n=1, 2, 3, ….
h: plank’s constant =6.626 x 10-34 J .s

he also showed that emission of radiation of frequency f occurred when a resonator dropped to the next lowest
energy state. Thus the resonator can change its energy
only by the difference E according to
That is, it cannot lose just any amount of its total energy,
but only a finite amount, hf, the so-called quantum of
energy.

3.4 PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT -1905
• When light is incident on a clean metalic surface, electrons are emitted from the metal
with a range of velocities and that the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons, Kmax. does not depend on the intensity of the incident light.
• The maximum kinetic energy of, Kmax.
is proportional to the frequency of the incident light.

• Threshold frequency f0 : the frequency of light which has just enough energy to knock an electron to be released with zero kinetic energy, K=0.
• Figure (c) shows that no photoelectrons are emitted below f0 .
• The photoelectric effect takes place only if the frequency of the incident light exceeds a threshold value f0

Einstein’s theory of the photoelectric effect
• The energy of light is not distributed evenly over the classical wave front, but is concentrated in discrete regions (or in “bundles”), called quanta, each containing energy, hf. i.e a light quantum was so localized that it gave all its energy, hf, directly to a single electron in the metal.
• That is

X-RAYS • X-rays were discovered in 1895 by the German physicist
Wilhelm Roentgen
• X-rays are produced by bombarding a metal target (copper, tungsten, and molybdenum are common) with energetic electrons having energies of 50 to 100 keV

THE COMPTON EFFECT
• Compton Effect is the scattering of x-rays from free electrons:
• Classical theory:
• Classical theory predicted that incident radiation of frequency f0 should accelerate an electron in the direction of propagation of the incident radiation, and that it should cause forced oscillations of the electron and reradiate at frequency f’ , where f’≤ f0 .
• Also, the scattered radiation should depend on the time and the intensity of the incident radiation.

Quantum model:
• Compton showed experimentally that the wavelength shift of x-rays scattered at a given angle is absolutely independent of the intensity of radiation and the length of exposure, and depends only on the scattering angle.
• The lower scattered frequency f’ , because the incident photon gives some of its energy to the recoiling electron.
• Photon in addition to carrying energy hf, cary momentum hf/c and scatter like particles.

DOES GRAVITY AFFECT LIGHT? Photon has zero mass, but its effective inertial mass, mi
,may reasonably
be taken to be the mass equivalent of the photon energy, E, or
The same result is obtained if we divide the photon momentum by the photon
speed c:
• The effective inertial mass determines how the photon responds to an
applied force such as that exerted on it during a collision with an electron
• The gravitational mass of an object determines the force of gravitational attraction of that object to another, such as the Earth
![Page 57: THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT - Islamic University of Gazasite.iugaza.edu.ps/kelwasife/files/2014/01/ch-3.pdf · Chapter Outline • 3.1 Hertz’s ... • Light as an Electromagnetic](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eaadfa3cf97e1265f349d3a/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
• The inertial mass of all material bodies
is equal to the gravitational mass
• Assume that the photon, like other
objects, also has a gravitational mass
equal to its inertial mass. In this case a
photon falling from a height H should
increase in energy by mgH and
therefore increase in frequency,
although its speed cannot increase and
remains at c.
• Experiments, show this increase in
frequency and confirm that the photon
indeed has an effective gravitational
mass of hf/c2

Relation between f and f‘ may be derived by applying conservation
of energy to the photon at points A and B
Because the photon’s kinetic energy is E = pc = hf and its potential

Gravitational redshift from a high-density star
• The increase in frequency for a photon falling inward suggests a decrease in frequency for a photon that escapes outward to infinity against the gravitational pull of a star
• This effect, known as “gravitational red shift,” would cause an emitted photon to be shifted in frequency toward the red end of the spectrum
• The redshift may be derived once again by conserving photon energy
