Test: Thermo And Statistical - 2 - Question 1

If light was of purely wave nature, the total energy radiated by a black-body would be (T is the temperature of the blackbody)

Detailed Solution for Test: Thermo And Statistical - 2 - Question 1

If light was of purely wave nature, then electromagnetic wave theory predicts that the total energy radiated by a black body over all wavelength is infinite. This is known as ultraviolet catastrophe.

Test: Thermo And Statistical - 2 - Question 2

Two particles are said to be distinguishable when

Detailed Solution for Test: Thermo And Statistical - 2 - Question 2

In Quantum mechanical description of particles, the de-Broglie wavelength of a particles is a measure of the wave character of the particle and hence, in a way, measures the inherent imprecision in locating a particle. It means that a particle is speed over a length and not localized at precisely fixed spot. Hence, the average distance between two particles (mean free path) should be large as compared to their de-Broglie wavelength for them to be ‘distinguishable’.
Options (a) and (d) are properties that are associated with ‘indistingunishable’ particles.
