    Black body radiation, Quantum Lecture 1.

    This article belongs to a group of lectures I intend to prepare for their online dissemination — no hand written notes of the same is available as I did not deliver these lectures, its an attempt at on-the-fly preparation of the concepts, exclusively available at this website. This series is on quantum mechanics and bears…

  • Maxwell Boltzmann distribution for a classical ideal gas

    Maxwell Boltzmann distribution for a classical ideal gas

    i. We assume a dilute gas which is enclosed by a thermally insulated container on all sides. Dilute gas in a thermally insulated container: Dilute means concentration of gas molecules is low. Insulated implies there is no reasonable flow of heat energy across the walls of the container. ii. Each molecule is assumed to be a…
