The Particle Description of Light
"Max Planck proposed that a not object does not emit electromagnetic energy continuously as would be expected if the energy emitted were int he form of waves."
If it does, what does it mean when it says "a not object"?
A lack of an object?
A space where light bounces and is absorbed as if there were an object, only there is no object?
Not an object?
I feel dumb, it doesn't make sense to me. Can you paraphrase it?
I don't know, I'm trying to make sense of it myself.
Black hole? (Me dad are said that.)
I believe the quote is refering to
black body radition.
Planck did a lot of hypothesizing about Black Body Radition and came up with his
law of black body radition.| QUOTE (Wikipedia) |
| In physics, a black body is an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls onto it. No radiation passes through it and none is reflected. It is this lack of both transmission and reflection to which the name refers. These properties make black bodies ideal sources of purely thermal radiation. That is, the amount and wavelength (color) of electromagnetic radiation they emit is directly related to their temperature. Black bodies below around 700 K (430 °C) produce very little radiation at visible wavelengths and appear black (hence the name). Black bodies above this temperature, however, begin to produce radiation at visible wavelengths starting at red, going through orange, yellow, and white before ending up at blue as the temperature increases. |
