A Concepts in Thermal Physics 2nd Ed by Blundell - solutions

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the lack of solutions for exercises in "Concepts in Thermal Physics 2nd Ed" by Blundell, which hinders self-study efforts. Participants express the need for a solution manual or alternative resources with solved exercises. Recommendations for other self-study books that include answers are sought. The importance of having access to correct answers for effective learning is emphasized. Overall, the thread highlights a common challenge faced by self-learners in physics.

Few days ago I started my self study of the Concepts in Thermal Physics 2nd Ed by Blundell . The book has exercises but no results and without the correct answers , the exercises have very low value for me ( being a self student). Is there available a solution book with answers?

Or can you recommend another book for self study with solved exercises like that above mentioned?

Thank you for help

Thread 'Why use Stefan's Law to measure temperature?'

Measuring the temperatures of bright (visible spectrum) cosmic objects would use spectral analysis. But temperatures of IR (warm / hot) radiators is done using Stefan's Law with radiometric cameras. There seems no reason why suitable filters couldn't be used to find the black body temperature using the ratio of two measured intensities after the fashion of colour TV cameras. Why? Could it be to do with the actual size of IR filters to mount on a two channel image sensor array? I'm sure there...
