Warmup: Find the radius of convergence and the interval of convergence of the following series. 1 X xn nn n=1 Solution: By the ratio Test, n+1 n an+1 x n lim = lim n+1 : n!1 an n!1 (n + 1) xn x 1 = lim : n!1 1 n n + 1 (1 + n ) = 0 for any x The radius of convergence is 1 and the interval of convergence is R. P1 P1 2. Let n=1 an and n=1 bn be convergent series of positive terms. (a) Why is it true that an < 1 for large values of n? (b) Using part(a). show that anbn < bn for large values of n. P1 (c) Show that n=1 anbn converges. P1 2 (d) Using part(c) show that n=1 an converges. Solution: P1 (a) Since n=1 an converges, an ! 0 as n ! 1, so an < 1 for large values of n (b) Since the terms are all positive, if an < 1, then anbn < bn. P1 P1 (c) Since n=1 bn converges and 0 < anbn < bn, n=1 anbn converges P1 P1 P1 (d) Use the series n=1 an in place of n=1 bn in part (c), since n=1 an converges. 3. Radiation from the Stars: Any object emits radiation when heated. A blackbody is a system that absorbs all the radiation that falls on it. For instance, a matte black surface or a large cavity with a small hole in its wall (like a blastfurnace) is a blackbody and emits blackbody radiation. Even the radiation from the sun is close to being blackbody radiation. Proposed in the late 19th century, the Rayleigh-Jeans Law expresses the energy density of blackbody radiation of wavelength λ as 8πkT f(λ) = λ4 where λ is measured in meters, T is the temperature in kelvins (K), and k is Boltzmann's constant. The Rayleigh-Jeans Law agrees with experimental measurements for long wavelengths but disagrees drastically for short wavelengths. [The law predicts that f(λ) ! 1 as λ ! 0+ but experiments have shown that f(λ) ! 0.] This fact is known as the ultraviolet catastrophe. In 1900 Max Planck found a better model (known now as Planck's Law) for blackbody radiation: 8πhcλ−5 f(λ) = ehc=(λkT ) − 1 where λ is measured in meters, T is the temperature (in kelvins), and h = Planck's Constant = 6:6262 × 10−34J:s c = Speed of light = 2:997925 × 108m=s k = Boltzmann's constant = 1:3807 × 10−23J=K (a) Use Taylor's polynomial to expand ex up to the 4th order. What values of x gives an approximation error of at most 10−4? Assume 0 < x ≤ 1. Expand ehc=(λkT ) by using the Taylor's polynomial you just derived. What values of λ will achieve the same accuracy? Use T = 5700K (the temperature of the sun) (b) Use a Taylor polynomial to show that, for large wavelengths, Planck's Law gives approximately the same values as the Rayleigh-Jeans Law. (Hint: Use the Taylor's Polynomial approximation of ehc=(λkT )) (c) Graph f as given by both laws (preferably on the same plot) and comment on the similarities and differences. Use T = 5700K (the temperature of the sun). (You may want to change from meters to the more convenient unit of micrometers: 1µm = 10−6m.) (d) Use your graph in part(c) to estimate the value of λ for which f(λ) is a maximum under Planck's Law. Solution: (a) The Taylor's polynomial representation for the exponential function is given by the following: x2 x3 x4 ex = 1 + x + + + + ::: for all x 2! 3! 4! Taylor's inequality is given by: M j R (x) |≤ j x − a jn+1 for j f n+1(x) |≤ M n (n + 1)! We know that the nth derivative of ex is itself. So, f n(x) = ex Notice that ex is an increasing function in (0; 1]. So we can bound the derivative as, f n(x) = ex ≤ e1 so, if we require the following then we know how accurate the approximation will be. e1 j R (x) |≤ j x j5< 10−4 4 5! 10−45! =) j x j5≤ e1 =) j x |≤ 0:3380 Consider the function ehc=(λkT ).

Therefore, hc j |≤ 0:3380 kT λ (6:6262 × 10−34)(2:997925 × 108) =) λ ≥ (0:3380)(1:3807 × 10−23)(5700) =) λ ≥ 7:4668µm (b) We know that the Taylor's polynomial representation for the exponential function is given by the following: x2 x3 x4 ex = 1 + x + + + + ::: for all x 2! 3! 4!

Rukmani, directrice de recherche Normand Mousseau, codirecteur de recherche Solange Lefebvre, membre du jury Varadaraja Raman, examinateur externe Karine Bates, repr´esentante du doyen de la FESP ii Abstract Toward the end of the 19th century, the Hindu monk and reformer Swami Vivekananda claimed that modern science was inevitably converging towards Advaita Ved¯anta, an important philosophico-religious system in Hinduism. In the decades that followed, in the midst of the revolution occasioned by the emergence of Einstein’s relativity and quantum physics, a growing number of authors claimed to discover striking “par- allels” between Advaita Ved¯anta and modern physics. Such claims of convergence have continued to the present day, especially in relation to quantum physics. In this dissertation, an attempt is made to critically examine such claims by engaging a de- tailed comparative analysis of two concepts: ¯ak¯a´sa in Advaita Ved¯anta and vacuum in quantum physics.

  • Kelvin's Clouds
    Kelvin’s clouds Oliver Passon∗ July 1, 2021 Abstract In 1900 Lord Kelvin identified two problems for 19th century physics, two“clouds” as he puts it: the relative motion of the ether with respect to massive objects, and Maxwell-Boltzmann’s theorem on the equipartition of energy. These issues were eventually solved by the theory of special relativity and by quantum mechanics. In modern quotations, the content of Kelvin’s lecture is almost always distorted and misrepresented. For example, it is commonly claimed that Kelvin was concerned about the UV- catastrophe of the Rayleigh-Jeans law, while his lecture actually makes no reference at all to blackbody radiation. I rectify these mistakes and explore reasons for their occurrence. 1 Introduction In 1900, Lord Kelvin, born as William Thomson, delivered a lecture in which he identified two problems for physics at the turn of the 20th century: the question of the existence of ether and the equipartition theorem. The solution for these two clouds was eventually achieved by the theory of special relativity and by quantum mechanics [1]. Understandably, these prophetic remarks are often quoted in popular science books or in the introductory sections of textbooks on modern physics. A typical example is found in the textbook by Tipler and Llewellyn [2]: [...] as there were already vexing cracks in the foundation of what we now refer to as classical physics. Two of these were described by Lord Kelvin, in his famous Baltimore Lectures in 1900, as the “two clouds” on the horizon of twentieth-century physics: the failure of arXiv:2106.16033v1 [physics.hist-ph] 30 Jun 2021 theory to account for the radiation spectrum emitted by a blackbody and the inexplicable results of the Michelson-Morley experiment.

  • Note-A-Rific: Blackbody Radiation
    Note-A-Rific: Blackbody Radiation What is Blackbody How to Calculate Peak Failure of Classical Radiation Wavelength Physics What is Blackbody Radiation? As thermal energy is added to an object to heat it up, the object will emit radiation at various wavelengths. • All objects emit radiation at an intensity equal to its temperature (in degrees Kelvin, see Glossary) to the fourth power. 4 Intensity = T o At room temperatures, we are not aware of objects emitting radiation because it’s at such a low intensity. o At higher temperatures there is enough infrared radiation that we can feel it. o At still higher temperatures (about 1000K) we can actually see the object glowing red o At temperatures above 2000K, objects glow yellowish or white hot. No real object will absorb all radiation falling on it, nor will it re-emit all of the energy it absorbs. • Instead physicists came up with a theoretical model called a Blackbody. • A blackbody absorbs all radiation falling on it, and then releases all that energy as radiation in the form of EM waves. • As the temperature of a blackbody increases, it will emit more and more intense radiation. • At the same time, as the temperature increases, most of the radiation is released at higher and higher frequencies (lower and lower wavelengths). • The frequency at which the emitted radiation is at the highest intensity is called the peak frequency or (more typically) the peak wavelength. • This explains why an object at room temperature does not emit much radiation, and what radiation it does emit is at higher wavelengths, like infrared.

  • Blackbody Radiation and the Quantization of Energy
    Blackbody Radiation and the Quantization of Energy Energy quantization, the noncontinuous nature of energy,was discovered from observing radiant energy from blackb o dies. A blackbody absorbs electromagnetic EM energy eciently. An ideal blackb o dy absorbs all electromagnetic energy that b ears up on it. Ecient absorb ers of energy also are ecient emitters or else they would heat up without limit. Energy radiated from blackb o dies was studied b ecause the characteristics of the radiation are indep endent of the material constitution of the blackb o dy. Therefore, conclusions reached by the study of energy radiated from blackb o dies do not require quali cations related to the material studied. If you heat up a go o d absorb er emitter of EM energy, it will radiate energy with total p ower p er unit area prop ortional to the fourth p ower of temp erature in degrees Kelvin. This is the Stefan - Boltzmann law: 4 R = T ; 8 2 4 where the Stefan constant =5:6703 10 W/m K . This lawwas rst prop osed by Josef Stefan in 1879 and studied theoretically by Boltzmann a few years later, so it is named after b oth of them. The EM energy emitted from a blackb o dy actually dep ends strongly on the wavelength, , of the energy. Thus, radiantpower is a function of wavelength, R , and total p ower p er unit area is simply an integral over all wavelengths: Z R = R d: 1 The function R is called the blackbody spectrum. Recall that ! 2 c = f = ! =2f k = k The blackb o dy sp ectrum is di erent for di erent temp eratures, but has the same general shap e as the solid lines in Figure 1 show.

  • Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe Introduction
    Activity – Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe Introduction: A blackbody is a term used to describe the light given by an object that only gives off emitted light, in other words it doesn’t reflect light. Of course, in order for such an object to emit light it must get hot. In this activity, you are going to observe the nature of light given off by hot objects and determine if there is an empirical relationship between an object’s temperature and the light emitted.

Valence (not so tightly bound) electrons vibrate in their motion around nuclei ~ 1014 -1017 cycles per second. Nuclei in molecules vibrate with respect to each other ~ 1011 -1013 cycles per second. Molecules rotate ~ 109 -1010 cycles per second. One interesting source of x-rays Sticky tape emits x-rays when you unpeel it.

    Modern physics Historical introduction to quantum mechanics Modern Physics, summer 2016 1 Historical introduction to quantum mechanics Gustav Kirchhoff (1824-1887) Surprisingly, the path to quantum mechanics begins with the work of German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff in 1859. Electron was discovered by J.J.Thomson in 1897 (neutron in 1932) The scientific community was reluctant to accept these new ideas. Thomson recalls such an incident: „I was told long afterwards by a distinguished physicist who had been present at my lecture that he thought I had been pulling their leg”. Modern Physics, summer 2016 2 Historical introduction to quantum mechanics Kirchhoff discovered that so called D-lines from the light emitted by the Sun came from the absorption of light from its interior by sodium atoms at the surface. Kirchhoff could not explain selective absorption. At that time Maxwell had not even begun to formulate his electromagnetic equations. Statistical mechanics did not exist and thermodynamics was in its infancy Modern Physics, summer 2016 3 Historical introduction to quantum mechanics • At that time it was known that heated solids (like tungsten W) and gases emit radiation. • Spectral radiancy Rλ is defined in such a way that Rλ dλ is the rate at which energy is radiated per unit area of surface for wavelengths lying in the interval λ to λ+d λ. • Total radiated energy R is called The spectral radiancy of radiancy and is defined as the tungsten (ribbon and cavity rate per unit surface area at radiator) at 2000 K. which energy is radiated into the forward hemisphere 2 R 23.5 W / cm R Rd 0 Modern Physics, summer 2016 4 Historical introduction to quantum mechanics Kirchhoff imagined a container – a cavity –whose walls were heated up so that they emitted radiation that was trapped in the container.
