Use Planck’s radiation law to derive the Stefan-Boltzmann

AI Thread Summary
To derive the Stefan-Boltzmann law from Planck's radiation law, one must integrate over all wavelengths, considering the limits of integration. The shortest wavelength can be arbitrarily short, while the longest can be arbitrarily long. The integration process is crucial for understanding how total energy radiated relates to temperature. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing these limits in the context of the derivation. Understanding these concepts is essential for successfully completing the homework problem.

Well, what do you think ALL possible wavelengths means? What is the shortest possible wavelength? (Hint: it can be made arbitrarily short). What is the longest possible wavelength? (Hint: it can be made arbitrarily long).
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
