nydus/The Theory of Heat RadiationPublic

This text examines the physical distinction between heat conduction and heat radiation, noting that radiation is independent of the medium through which it passes. It establishes that heat rays are physically identical to light rays and applies the principles of experimental optics to the study of thermal radiation.

If, on raising the piston, the temperature of the black body forming the bottom is kept constant by a corresponding addition of heat from the heat reservoir, the process takes place isothermally. Then, along with the temperature T of the black body, the energy density u, the radiation pressure p, and the density of the entropy s also remain constant; hence the total energy of radiation increases from U=uV to U=uV, the entropy from S=sV to S=sV and the heat supplied from the heat reservoir is obtained by integrating [eqn:(72)] (72) at constant T, Q=T(SS)=Ts(VV) or, according to [eqn:(81)] (81) and [eqn:(75)] (75), Q=43aT4(VV)=43(UU).

Thus it is seen that the heat furnished from the outside exceeds the increase in energy of radiation (UU) by 13(UU). This excess in the added heat is necessary to do the external work accompanying the increase in the volume of radiation.
