Calculating Quanta Emitted by a Blackbody at 500 C

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the number of quanta emitted by a blackbody at 500 C (773.15 K) with an intensity of 2.0 W/m^2, the peak wavelength can be determined using Wien's displacement law, resulting in a λmax of 3750 nm. The intensity provided is related to the energy emitted per unit area, which can be integrated over all wavelengths to find total energy. The relationship J=∫^{∞}_{0}J_{λ}(T)dλ is crucial for calculating the total energy radiated. Further calculations will involve converting the energy to the number of quanta using the energy of a single photon. This approach will yield the desired number of quanta emitted per second per square meter.

Homework Statement



The temperature of a blackbody is 500 C. If the intensity of the emitted radiation, 2.0 W/m^2, were due entirely to the most intense frequency component, how many quanta of radiation would be emiteed per second per square meter?

Homework Equations



λmaxT = 2.90 x 10^-3 m K


The Attempt at a Solution



I'm not sure where to begin or how to use intensity.
500 C = 773.15 K

I calculated λmax = 2.90 x 10^-3 m K / 773.15 K = 3750 nm or 3.75 x 10 ^-6 m. I'm not sure where to go from here. Please help. Thank you!

A useful relationship to consider is this one:

J=∫^{∞}_{0}J_{λ}(T)dλ

This tells you the total energy radiated per unit time per unit surface area of a black body.

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
