  • Introduction to Blackbody Radiation

    – Blackbody is a theoretical object that absorbs 100% radiation. – Carbon in graphite form absorbs all but about 3% of incoming radiation. – At a particular temperature the black body would emit the maximum amount of energy possible for that temperature. This value is known as blackbody radiation. – Maximum wavelength emitted by a…

  • Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

    With classical physics, we are certain that we can determine the future by analyzing the data from the past and the present. However, the discovery of quantum mechanics shown that even with all necessary information, the future remains unknown. In the early 1900, four important events had revolutionized science and the way we think about…
