To solve the problem of determining the temperature needed to double the pressure of a gas within a fixed volume, we apply the Ideal Gas Law in the form of Charles's law, which is given by:
\( \frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} \)
Here, \(P_1\) is the initial pressure, \(T_1\) is the initial temperature in Kelvin, \(P_2\) is the final pressure, and \(T_2\) is the final temperature in Kelvin.
The initial condition is at 27°C, which is 300K (since \(T(K) = T(°C) + 273\)). We aim to double the pressure (\(P_2 = 2P_1\)).
Solving for \(T_2\):
\[ \frac{P_1}{300} = \frac{2P_1}{T_2} \]
By simplifying, we find:
\[ T_2 = 2 \times 300 = 600 \, \text{K} \]
Convert back to Celsius: \(T(°C) = T(K) - 273\):
\(T_2 = 600 - 273 = 327°C\).
Thus, the temperature should be raised to 327°C to double the pressure.
A black body is at a temperature of 2880 K. The energy of radiation emitted by this body with wavelength between 499 nm and 500 nm is U1, between 999 nm and 1000 nm is U2 and between 1499 nm and 1500 nm is U3. The Wien's constant, b = 2.88×106 nm-K. Then,
