30-1 Blackbody Radiation and Planck’s Hypothesis of QuantizedEnergy
Blackbody: an ideal source for light (electromagnetic radiation)
absorption and emission.
1) An ideal blackbody absorbs all the light that is incident on it.
2) An ideal blackbody is also an ideal radiator (See Section 16-6: objects that effective at absorbing radiation are also effective at radiation).
Figure 30-1An Ideal Blackbody
An example of how to construct a blackbody:
Why Blackbody:
1) Objects that absorbs much of the incident light (thought not all of it) are reasonable approximations to a blackbody.
2) It makes mathematical modeling simple.
Blackbody property:
The distribution of energy (electromagnetic radiation as a function of wavelength) in blackbody radiation is independent of the material – it depends only on the temperature T.
Figure 30-2Blackbody Radiation at different
temperature.
Note the radiation peak shifts as temperature increases !
Two properties of blackbody curves in the above figures are particularly important:
1) As the temperature is increased, the area under curve increases, Thus the total energy increases.
2) The peak of the curve moves to higher frequency (shot wavelength), as the temperature is increased.

The German physicist Max Planck found that:
the radiation energy in a blackbody at frequency f is an integral times h and f, and is quantized as:

30-2 Photons and the Photoelectric Effect
Einstein proposed that light comes in bundles of energy, called photons. A photon is like a “particle” (but light is also a wave).
The photons obey Planck’s law (n=1), and the energy at frequency f is

E = h f 30-4

h = 6.63 x 10-34 J⋅s

individual photons, each with energy E=h f.

Active Example 30-1 Find the number of Photons
Assume 4.00x10-11 W/m2 of 505-nm light enter the eye. If the light of this intensity and wavelength enters the eye through a pupil that is 6 mm in diameter. How many photons enter the eye per second?
Solution:
1. Calculate the area of the pupil of the eye:
2.83 x 10-5 m2
2. Multiply the intensity by area of the pupil to find the energy per second:
1.13x10-15 J/s
3. Calculate the energy of a photon:
hf = 3.94 x 10-19 J, (with f λ = c )
4. To find the number of photons per second: The pupil energy per second is divided by the one-photon energy,

The Photoelectric Effect
Figure 30-5The Photoelectric Effect
In the experiment (see figure), a Beam of light (photons) hit the surface of a metal and thus eject electrons (photoelectrons).
The minimum amount of energy necessary to eject an electron from a particular metal is called Work Function, W0 (is constant for a specific material).
If an electron is given an energy E by the light and E is greater than W0, extra energy goes into kinetic energy of the ejected electron.
Considering a photon, the maximum kinetic energy Kmax that a photoelectron can have is
Kmax = E – W0 30-5
The experiment shows the following behaviors:
1) To eject electrons, the incident light beam must have a frequency greater than a certain value, called Cutoff Frequency f0; If the frequency of light is less than f0, no electron ejected.
2) If the light frequency is greater than the cutoff frequency f0, increasing the light intensity increases the number of electronsejected.
However, the maximum kinetic energy of a photon dose not increase with the light intensity. The kinetic energy only depends on the frequency of the light.
For the first question, since E = hf0 = W0, the cutoff frequency is defined as:
Cutoff Frequency f0,
SI unit: Hz = s-1
63000 −=
hWf
For the second question, since E = hf, the kinetic energy of a photoelectron is
Kmax = hf – W0 30-7
Kmax depends linearly on the frequency, but is independent of the intensity.

30-3 The Mass and Momentum of a Photon
Photon’s properties:
1) Since photons travel at the speed of light. The rest mass of a photon must be zero
Otherwise its energy and momentum will be infinite, see Equation 29-7, 29-5.
