1. What is entropy and temperature of radiant heat?

Entropy and temperature are two important concepts in thermodynamics. Entropy refers to the measure of disorder or randomness in a system, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system. In the context of radiant heat, entropy and temperature refer to the amount and intensity of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body.

2. Who is Max Planck and what is his contribution to the study of entropy and temperature?

Max Planck was a German physicist who is known as the father of quantum theory. He is best known for his work on blackbody radiation, which led to the development of the concept of entropy and the famous equation E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. Planck's work on blackbody radiation also paved the way for the study of temperature and entropy in relation to electromagnetic radiation.

3. How is entropy and temperature of radiant heat related?

The relationship between entropy and temperature in radiant heat is described by Planck's law, which states that the amount of radiant energy emitted by a body is directly proportional to its temperature and the fourth power of its wavelength. This means that as the temperature of a body increases, the amount of radiation it emits also increases, leading to an increase in entropy.

4. What are the units of measurement for entropy and temperature of radiant heat?

The SI unit of measurement for entropy is joules per kelvin (J/K), while the unit for temperature is kelvin (K). In the context of radiant heat, the units for entropy and temperature are the same as they are for any other form of energy and temperature measurement.

5. How are entropy and temperature of radiant heat measured?

Entropy and temperature of radiant heat can be measured using various instruments such as spectrometers, radiometers, and pyrometers. These instruments measure the intensity and wavelength of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body, from which the temperature and entropy can be calculated using Planck's law and other thermodynamic equations.
