Problem 44P
Number of photons in a photon gas.
(a) Show that the number of photons in equilibrium in a box of volume V at temperature T is
The integral cannot be done analytically; either look it up in a table or evaluate it numerically.
(b) How does this result compare to the formula derived in the text for the entropy of a photon gas? (What is the entropy per photon, in terms of k?)
(c) Calculate the number of photons per cubic meter at the following temperatures 300 K; 1500 K (a typical kiln); 2.73 K (the cosmic background radiation).
