FENOMENA KUANTUM (RADIASI BENDA HITAM) KELAS 12

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of quantum phenomena, focusing specifically on black body radiation, the Stefan-Boltzmann law, Wien's displacement law, Planck's theory, photon energy, and photon power. These concepts are essential for understanding modern physics and have practical implications in various fields like thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.

Step 1: Understanding Black Body Radiation

• A black body is an idealized physical object that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence.
• It emits radiation known as black body radiation, which is solely determined by its temperature.
• Key characteristics:
  • The emission spectrum of a black body is continuous.
  • The peak wavelength of the emitted radiation decreases with increasing temperature.

Step 2: Exploring the Stefan-Boltzmann Law

• The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the total energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature (T).

  The formula is:

  E = σT^4
  

  • Where:
    • E is the total energy radiated per unit area.
    • σ (sigma) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (approximately 5.67 x 10^-8 W/m²K⁴).
    • T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin.

• Practical application: This law helps in calculating the energy output of stars and other celestial bodies.

Step 3: Applying Wien's Displacement Law

• Wien's displacement law states that the wavelength of the peak emission of a black body is inversely proportional to its temperature.

  The formula is:

  λ_max = b/T
  

  • Where:
    • λ_max is the peak wavelength.
    • b is Wien's displacement constant (approximately 2.898 x 10^-3 mK).
    • T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin.

• Practical tip: Use this law to determine the temperature of stars by observing their color.

Step 4: Understanding Planck's Theory

• Max Planck introduced the concept that energy is quantized and can be emitted or absorbed in discrete units called quanta or photons.

  The energy of a photon can be calculated with the formula:

  E = hf
  

  • Where:
    • E is the energy of the photon.
    • h is Planck's constant (approximately 6.626 x 10^-34 J·s).
    • f is the frequency of the radiation.

• Common pitfall: Remember that higher frequency corresponds to higher energy photons, which is crucial in applications like photoelectric effect and spectroscopy.

Step 5: Calculating Photon Power

• Photon power is the rate at which energy is emitted in the form of photons.

• It can be calculated using:

  P = nE
  

  • Where:
    • P is the power.
    • n is the number of photons emitted per second.
    • E is the energy of each photon.

• Practical application: This calculation is important in designing LED lights and understanding solar panels.
