I'm very sorry for the late reply, I was held up by revising maths and totally forgot about physics. Anyways, Thanks for the explanation and the visual sketches, it really helped me a lot. My first thoughts about this weren't wrong but I needed additional information to piece all the loose info...

Okay, I understand that but could you explain how atoms combine to form these molecular energy bands? I'm having troubles understands how solids or moleculars can combine energy levels to form energy bands

We haven't done electron orbitals as such but we've learned on a basic level that atoms contain energy shells which correspond to their potential energy levels. The higher the electron shell from the nucleus, the higher the energy the electron contains. However, I've also read that when atoms...

Hey guys! I'm researching and writing notes on semi-conductors and how they work. I've learned about the electron energy profile for conductors, insulators and semi-conductors and have a basic understanding on energy bands of each and how they're put together. I'm having difficulties...

hmm, okay. I'll look into it but thank you both for you're help!

I'm sorry, could I ask one more thing? In the Black Body Radiation curve that Planck theoretical proved, why is only a small amount of UV radiation or high frequency radiation given out of the ideal balck body? If we keep increasing the temperature high enough, above the temperatures we are able...

Oh sweet! Thank you for solving my problems! I appreciate the help I got! KA.

Oh, it is in thermal equilibrium because the temperature of the walls are constant throughout, hence, causing them to emit, on average, the same amount of radiation and because it is a perfect black body, it will absorb all the radiation falling on the walls. This absorption and emission is done...

Thank you for your reply, Drakkith! You've given a ton of info that was looking to verify what I thought. Anyways, I understand that in reality there is no "perfect" black body and that it is a theoretical but ideal make for phsyics. However, I'm having trouble understanding how this black...

This is just for grasping the concept of the Black Body curve and the UV catastrophe. I don't understand how ideal Black Bodies work? or how they absorb and re-emit the energy which they absorbed? Also, why does radiation bounce around the walls of a cavity of a Black Body? shouldn't the...
