Problem data:
  • Cavity temperature:    T = 6000 K;
  • Hole diameter:    d = 0.10 mm;
  • Minimum wavelength:    λ1 = 5500 Å;
  • Maximum wavelength:    λ2 = 5510 Å.
Assuming:
  • Speed ​​of light:    c = 2.998 ×108 m/s;
  • Planck Constant::    h = 6.63 ×10--34 J.s;
  • Boltzmann Constant::    k = 1.38 ×10--23 J/K.
Solution

a) The total radiance is defined as the radiated power per unit area
\[ \begin{gathered} R_{T}=\frac{P}{A} \end{gathered} \]
the integral of the radiance over all frequencies gives the radiated power
\[ \begin{gather} P=A\int {}R_{T}(\nu)\;d\nu \tag{I} \end{gather} \]
The relationship between spectral radiance and energy density is given by
\[ \begin{gather} \bbox[#99CCFF,10px] {R_{T}(\nu)=\frac{c}{4}\rho (\nu)} \tag{II} \end{gather} \]
substituting expression (II) into expression (I) and integrating it into the frequency interval of the problem
\[ \begin{gather} P=A\int_{\nu_{1}}^{\nu_{2}}{}\frac{c}{4}\rho (\nu)\;d\nu \\[5pt] P=\frac{Ac}{4}\int_{\nu_{1}}^{\nu_{2}}{}\rho (\nu)\;d\nu \tag{III} \end{gather} \]
Planck's Radiation Law for energy density is given by
\[ \begin{gather} \bbox[#99CCFF,10px] {\rho (\nu)\;d\nu =\frac{8\pi \nu^{3}}{c^{3}}\frac{h}{\operatorname{e}^{h\nu/{kT}}-1}\;d\nu} \tag{IV} \end{gather} \]
The relationship between energy density, as a function of frequency, and energy, as a function of wavelength, is given by
\[ \begin{gather} \rho_{T}(\lambda )=-\rho_{T}(\nu)\;\frac{d\nu }{d\lambda } \tag{V} \end{gather} \]
The frequency is given by
\[ \begin{gather} \bbox[#99CCFF,10px] {\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda}} \tag{VI} \end{gather} \]
the derivative of frequency with respect to wavelength is given by
\[ \begin{gather} \frac{d\nu}{d\lambda}=\frac{d(c\lambda^{-1})}{d\lambda}=-c\lambda^{-2}=-{\frac{c}{\lambda^{2}}} \tag{VII} \end{gather} \]
substituting the expressions (IV), (VI), and (VII) into expression (V)
\[ \begin{gathered} \rho_{T}(\lambda)=-\left[\frac{8\pi}{c^{3}}\left(\frac{c}{\lambda}\right)^{3}\frac{h}{\operatorname{e}^{hc/{kT\lambda}}-1}\right]\;\left(-{\frac{c}{\lambda^{2}}\;d\lambda}\right)\\[5pt] \rho_{T}(\lambda)=\frac{8\pi c^{3}}{c^{3}\lambda^{3}}\frac{c}{\lambda^{2}}\frac{h}{\operatorname{e}^{hc/{kT\lambda}}-1}\;d\lambda \end{gathered} \]
\[ \begin{gathered} \bbox[#99CCFF,10px] {\rho_{T}(\lambda)\;d\lambda =\frac{8\pi c}{\lambda^{5}}\frac{h}{\operatorname{e}^{hc/{kT\lambda }}-1}\;d\lambda} \end{gathered} \]
Expression (III) can be written as
\[ \begin{gathered} P=\frac{Ac}{4}\int_{\lambda_{1}}^{\lambda_{2}}{}\frac{8\pi c}{\lambda ^{5}}\frac{h}{\operatorname{e}^{hc/{kT\lambda}}-1}\;d\lambda \end{gathered} \]
Note: We don't need to calculate the integral, we can approximate the value using the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals.
The integral of a function f(x) in an interval [a, b] represents the area under the curve (Figure 1), by the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals we have a value f(c) of the function that determines a rectangle based on equal to the length of the gap and height f(c) (Figure 2).

Figure 2
Point c is located anywhere in the interval [a, b], such that the value f(c) gives us equal areas under the curves.
In particular, if the function f(x) is linear the point c is at the midpoint of the interval [a, b] (Figure 3). This happens because the areas above and below the value of f(c) compensate each other.

In the problem, the difference in wavelengths relative to the given values ​​is
\[ \begin{gathered} \frac{\Delta \lambda }{\lambda _{1}}=\frac{\lambda _{2}-\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{1}}=\frac{5510\times 10^{-10}-5500\times 10^{-10}}{5500\times 10^{-10}}=0.002 \end{gathered} \]
\[ \begin{gathered} \frac{\Delta \lambda }{\lambda _{2}}=\frac{\lambda _{2}-\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{5510\times 10^{-10}-5500\times 10^{-10}}{5510\times 10^{-10}}=0.002 \end{gathered} \]
we see that the variation in the range of wavelengths varies from 2 parts per 1000, this range is small (Figure 4), we can approximate the infinitesimal range of wavelengths, , by the range, Δλ, and the variable of integration, λ, can be substituted by its average value, λm (Figure 5).

We can substitute the integral to the power with the following expression
\[ \begin{gathered} P=\frac{Ac}{4}\frac{8\pi c}{\lambda_{m}^{5}}\frac{h}{\operatorname{e}^{hc/{kT\lambda_{m}}}-1}\;\Delta \lambda \\[5pt] P=\frac{2A\pi c^{2}}{\lambda_{m}^{5}}\frac{h}{\operatorname{e}^{hc/{kT\lambda_{m}}}-1}\;\Delta \lambda \end{gathered} \]
Substituting the integration variable λ by the average value of the wavelength range
\[ \begin{gathered} \lambda_{m}=\frac{\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2}}{2}\\[5pt] \lambda_{m}=\frac{5500\times 10^{-10}+5510\times 10^{-10}}{2}\\[5pt] \lambda_{m}=\frac{11010\times 10^{-10}}{2}\\[5pt] \lambda_{m}=5505\times 10^{-10}\;\overset{\circ}{\text{A}} \end{gathered} \]
and substituting the differential interval dλ by the interval Δλ given by
\[ \begin{gathered} \Delta \lambda =\lambda_{1}-\lambda_{2}\\[5pt] \Delta\lambda =5510\times 10^{-10}-5500\times 10^{-10}\\[5pt] \Delta \lambda=10\times 10^{-10}\;\overset{\circ}{\text{A}} \end{gathered} \]
The area of the hole will be
\[ \begin{gathered} A=\pi r^{2}\\[5pt] A=\pi\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^{2}\\[5pt] A=3.14\times \left(\frac{10\times 10^{-3}}{2}\right)^{2}\\[5pt] A=7.85\times 10^{-5}\;\text{m}^{2} \end{gathered} \]
substituting the data
\[ \begin{align} P=& \frac{2\times (7.85\times 10^{-5})\times 3.14\times (2.998\times 10^{8})^{2}}{(5505\times 10^{-10})^{5}}\times\\ &\times{\frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34})}{\operatorname{e}^{(6.63\times 10^{-34})\times (2.998\times 10^{8})/{[(1.38\times 10^{-23})\times (6000)\times 5505\times 10^{-10}]}}-1}\times (10\times 10^{-10})}\;\Delta\lambda\\[5pt] &\qquad \qquad \quad P=\frac{4.43\times 10^{13}}{5.06\times 10^{-32}}\times \frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\operatorname{e}^{4.36}-1}\times (10\times 10^{-10})\\[5pt] &\qquad \qquad \qquad P=8.75\times 10^{44}\times 8.58\times 10^{-36}\times 10\times 10^{-10} \end{align} \]
\[ \begin{gathered} \bbox[#FFCCCC,10px] {P=7.5\;\text{W}} \end{gathered} \]
