Will a black body appear black at any temperature ? If so when ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a black body will appear black at any temperature, we can analyze the properties of a black body and how it interacts with thermal radiation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of a Black Body**: A black body is defined as an idealized physical object that perfectly absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of the frequency or angle of incidence. It is also a perfect emitter of radiation when it is at thermal equilibrium. 2. **Emission of Radiation**: According to Planck's law, a black body emits radiation across a spectrum of wavelengths depending on its temperature. The intensity and wavelength of the emitted radiation are determined by the temperature of the body. ...

The peak emission from a black body at a certain temprature occurs at a wavelength of 9000 Å . On increase its temperature , the total radiation emmited is increased its 81 times. At the intial temperature when the peak radiation from the black body is incident on a metal surface , it does not cause any photoemission from the surface . After the increase of temperature, the peak from the black body caused photoemission. To bring these photoelectrons to rest , a potential equivalent to the excitation energy between n = 2 and n = 3 bohr levels of hydrogen atoms is required. Find the work function of the metal.
