Using Planck's fromula, derive the approximate expressions for the space spectral density u_(omega) of radiation (a) in the range where h omegalt lt kT (Rayleigh-Jeans fromula), (b) in the range where h omegagt gt kT (Wien's formula).

Answer»

Solution :From Planek's formula
`u_(omega) = (cancelh omega^(2))/(pi^(2)c^(3))(1)/(c^(homega//k)-1)`
(a) In a range `h omega lt lt KT` (long wavelength or high temperature).
`u_(omega) rarr (cancel homega^(3))/(pi^(2)c^(3))(1)/((cancelh omega)/(kT))`
`= (omega^(2))/(pi^(2)c^(3))kT`, using `e^(x) = 1+x` for small `x`.
(B) In the range `cancelh omega gt gtT` (high FREQUENCY ot low temperature):
`(cancelh omega)/(kT)gt gt 1` so `e^((cancelh omega)/(kT)) gt gt 1`
and `u_(omega) = (cancelhomega^(3))/(pi^(2)c^(3))e^(-cancelh omega//kT)`
