Paper 3, Section II, A
Starting with the density of electromagnetic radiation modes in -space, determine the energy of black-body radiation in a box of volume at temperature .
Using the first law of thermodynamics show that
By using this relation determine the pressure of the black-body radiation.
[You are given the following:
(i) The mean number of photons in a radiation mode of frequency is ,
(ii) ,
(iii) You may assume vanishes with more rapidly than linearly, as . ]
