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.

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
