Question

5. The spectral radiance of a blackbody at temperature T and frequency \(\nu\) is given by \(B_\nu(T) = B(\nu, T) = \frac{2h\nu^3}{c^2 \left(e^{\frac{h\nu}{k_BT}} - 1\right)}\) Derive expressions for \(B_\lambda(T)\) and \(B_\tilde{\nu}(T)\) where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength (given in units of m) and \(\tilde{\nu} = \frac{1}{\lambda}\) the wavenumber (given in units of cm?¹). The wavenumber is still used in spectroscopy. Remember that \(B_\nu(T)\) originates from the spectral energy density and is expressed as per unit frequency interval. (3P)

5. The spectral radiance of a blackbody at temperature T and frequency ν is given by

Bν(T) = B(ν, T) = (2hν^3)/(c^2 (e^(hν)/(kBT) - 1))

Derive expressions for Bλ(T) and Bν̃(T) where λ is the wavelength (given in units of m) and ν̃ = (1)/(λ) the wavenumber (given in units of cm?¹). The wavenumber is still used in spectroscopy. Remember that Bν(T) originates from the spectral energy density and is expressed as per unit frequency interval. (3P)
