Consider black body radiation contained in a cavity whose walls are at temperature T. The radiation is in equilibrium with the walls of the cavity. If the temperature of the walls is increased to 2T and the radiation is allowed to come to equilibrium at the new temperature, the number of photon of the radiation increases by a factor of (a)2 (b) 4 (c) 8 (d) 16 Consider black body radiation contained in a cavity whose walls are at temperature T.
