10.1.1 Black body radiation
Plancks law for the energy distribution for the radiation of a black body is: w(f ) = 8hc 1 1 8hf 3 , w() = 3 5 hf /kT hc/kT c e e 1 1
Stefan-Boltzmanns law for the total power density can be derived from this: P = AT 4 . Wiens law for the maximum can also be derived from this: T max = kW .
These waves dene a particle with group velocity vg = p/m and energy E = h . The wavefunction can be interpreted as a measure for the probability P to nd a particle somewhere (Born): dP = | |2 d3 V . The expectation value f of a quantity f of a system is given by: f (t) = f d3 V , fp (t) = f d3 Vp
This is also written as f (t) = |f | . The normalizing condition for wavefunctions follows from this: | = | = 1.
