Black Body Radiation

-

GENERAL OVERVIEW

First of all we have to know that everything in the universe is in motion .It seems to be odd , for example a stone lying on a road seems to be stationary but this is not so. At macroscopic level (observable with naked eyes) that stone was found to be motionless but actualy that is not reality.
At molecular level , molecules of stone are in motion like vibrational , rotational motion  and so other. This is true.

Black body radiation :-

Since all the matters around us are in motion , and one of them is vibrational motion of the particles of which they are composed of . This vibrational motion causes the emission of radiation. At low temperature the radiations are of low frequency but as the temperature increases frequency increases. Even with the higher frequency, the radiation of lower frequency were also emits out . This happens only in case of solid material which emits continuous range of frequency's radiation. In case of gases the nature of radiation is discrete. Rate of emission of radiation is dependent on the nature of solid. A black body has the maximum rate with respect to others at same temperature.
Intensity of radiation (amount of radiation per unit surface area) depends on the temperature of the substance.

Energy distribution of Black body radiation :- 

The energy distribution is defined in the term of ⍴(Ζ›) d(Ζ›). Since we have known that in black body there is a continuous range of frequency rather than a single wavelength radiation. Experimentally it was found that energy density reaches a maximum value at a particular wavelength at a constant temperature. This maximum value shifts to lower wavelength side (higher frequency side) when the temperature increases.

Idea behind this result of graphical illustration:-

Rayleigh-Jeans law - Rayleigh was the first who tried for the derivation of energy density distribution equation. He used classical laws of mechanics and based on two theorems:
  • Theorem of stationary waves in hollow spherical cylinder
  • Theorem of equipartition of energy
⍴(𝝂) d(𝝂) = (8π𝝂2/c3).kBTd(𝝂)
On simplification 

⍴(𝝂) d(𝝂) = A𝝂2.Td(𝝂) 
But the drawback of this equation is that this is valid for only low frequency radiations as experimentally the graph downs gradually after a maximum value. But according to this equation the graph goes to infinity with frequency. To overcome this drawback Planck's law come.

Planck's law of radiation :-   ⍴(𝝂) d(𝝂) = (a𝝂3)/(exp(b𝝂/T) – 1)
 where 'a' and 'b' are constants 


This equation fits well into the experimental result. 
Thank you.

If you want further, the derivations of above two equations please mention in the comment section. I will provide you in another section.

conversion of glucose's open chain form to chair form

How to understand the chair form of glucose Generally for us it is easier to understand the structure in 2D. But if we have to know about the configuration (arrangement of substituents)  of a molecule in 3D which is already represented on paper in 2D then we have to visualize that molecule in mind in 3D . This visualization helps to understand the correct structure of molecule. So let's go forward for the same.                            Glucose which has the molecular formula=  C 6 H 12 O 6 . It is aldohexose sugar which contains an aldehyde and 5 -OH  groups attached to 5 different carbon.Its linear structure is given below                                                                                                                         D-Glucose Generally glucose does not exist in linear form ,it exist in cyclic form so to convert into cyclic form we have to follow following steps 1- Assign numbers to each carbon according to PRIORITY  2 R

What is pKa and what is the relation of pKa with acidity and basicity.

                                        This pKa is something related to equilibrium constant, how let see.  Let us consider the following reaction             A   +   B     ⇋   C   +   D                                           in the above reaction initially some of A and B reacts to form C and D as products (In this reaction remember all the A and B are not converted to C and D).When the amount of C and D reaches a particular conentration the reaction goes to backward direction with the same rate as the forward reaction goes on. In these types of reaction the composition of reaction mixture remains constant in a particular physical conditions. For the above reaction:-              equlibrium constant  , Keq = [A][B]/[C][D]     A],[B],[C],[D] are the concentrations of A,B,C and D respectively. If there is a reaction is in equilibrium involving acid in water then:                AH  +  H 2 O    ⇋    A -    +  H 3 O +     ...................(eq 1)  For this the equilib

Let us visualise the given below classification on the basis of 6+2+2 and 3+3+2+2 rule ALIPHATIC GROUP 1. GLYCINE :- simplest amino acid 2. ALANINE :- methyl group attached to alpha carbon of GLYCINE. 3. VALINE :-  V for valine have flipped 'V' on alanine. 4. LEUCINE :- Extra carbon attached to VALINE 5. ISOLEUCINE :- isomer of leucine as name suggest 'iso'+'leucine' = isomer of leucine. 6. PROLINE:- follow given step to remember structure of proline draw a five membered ring replace one carbon by nitrogen atom assign COOH group adjacent to nitrogen                   And this is the final structure of PROLINE FROM NOW MOST OF THE AMINO ACIDS ARE THE DERIVATIVES OF ALANINE ACIDIC (2) 1. Aspartic acid :-  -COOH group attached to ALANINE 2. Glutamic acid :- Extra carbon attached to ASPARTIC ACID as similar to valine and leucine
