Question: Show for a photon gas that: (a) (b) d j /dV = j /3V (c) p = U/3V Thus the radiation pressure is equal
Show for a photon gas that:
(a)

(b) dωj/dV = –ωj/3V
(c) p = U/3V
Thus the radiation pressure is equal to 1/3 × (energy density).
(d) Compare the pressure of thermal radiation with the kinetic pressure of a gas of H atoms at a concentration of 1 mole cm-3 characteristic of the Sun. at what temperature (roughly) are the two pressures equal? The average temperature of the sun is believed to be near 100 mole cm-3at the center, where the kinetic pressure is considerably higher than the radiation pressure.
