Question:

In ?7, we showed that the energy of a particle of mass M in an L ? L ? L box in the state labeled |n, m, l? is E n, m, l = ?2?2(n2 + m2 + l2)/2ML2. The probability of finding a particle in the state |n, m, l? at temperature T is given by the Boltzmann distribution P(n, m, l) ? exp(?E n, m, l/kBT). In a hot gas the energy levels are very close together, so E can be regarded as a continuous variable. Show that the probability of finding the particle with energy between E and E + dE at temperature T is given by the Maxwell?Boltzmann distribution, dP/dE = 2??Ee?E/kBT /(?kBT)3/2. Employ the methods used to compute the spectrum of blackbody radiation, including eq. (22.20)?
