Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a Leslie cube assignment involving thermal radiation calculations. The original poster presents a problem that includes determining the wavelength of maximum spectral intensity, total intensity of emitted radiation, and total power emitted by a black surface, all based on the cube's temperature and surface area.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to apply formulas related to thermal radiation, including a wavelength calculation and Stefan's Law for total intensity. They express uncertainty about their approach and seek clarification on spectral energy density in Planck's equation.

Discussion Status

Some participants provide feedback on the original poster's attempts, indicating that the calculations may be correct. There is also a reminder about converting temperature to Kelvin, which suggests an ongoing exploration of the problem's details. However, no consensus is reached on the correctness of the methods used.

Contextual Notes

The original poster mentions a deadline for the assignment, indicating time constraints that may affect the depth of discussion and exploration of concepts.

sorry, this was my question from yesturday, and now my assignment is due tomorrow. anyone have any help for me?


A Leslie cube has a surface temp of 97C. One of its four side faces has an area of 100 cm^2 and is painted black. Calculate:

a) the wavelength at which the spectral intensity (per unit wavelength) is a maximum

b)the total intensity (all wavelengths) of the emitted radiation just outside the surface

C) the total power emitted by the black surface

for a) i used lambda=2.9*10^-3/T (not sure if this is the correct way of doing it)

for b) i wanted to use Stefan's Law but this seems to simple

for c) i multiplied the answer from b) by the area of the four sides.

does any of this sound correct? i seem to be struggling on this topic

also, in Planck's energy density equation, what exactly is the spectral energy density? is it also known as anything else? thanks.

You did the problem wery well,all three points of it... :smile:

The volumic spectral energy density (given by Planck's law) has the significance of the thermal radiation/unit of volume in one domain/interval of frequency chosen equal to unity...

One more thing to point a) of the problem.I sincerely hope u converted the Celsius degrees into Kelvin ones... :rolleyes:

Daniel.
 
thanks for your input on this. glad to here i did it correctly, and of course i converted to kelvin, thanks for the heads up though
