What is heat?29-09-2016 19:34
Tai Hai Chen ★★★★☆ (1085)	Heat is vibration of molecules. It's quantum stuff. All air molecules vibrate. Whether it's O2 or N2 or CH4 or CO2. You name it. All air molecules have heat and conduct heat. There's nothing special about certain gasses and not others. Edited on 29-09-2016 19:37

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Yes... Everything has thermal energy, barring photons and subatomic particles. But different substances act differently. Some substances have higher specific heats. Some substances conduct heat better. And some substances, in their gaseous form, have different absorption and emission spectra.

Would you take it personally if I were to say that is one of the stupidest things I have ever read? I'm at a loss at the moment for an appropriate sugar-coating. The radiation of any gas is per it's temperature and domain of wavelengths, exactly per Planck's law. Identity? Really? Who are you letting do your thinking for you? If you're going to do that you should at least let a SMART person do your thinking for you, not a clueless moron. . I don't think i can [define it].

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Identity, as in chemical identity, thank you very much. An accepted word. Planck's Law describes a distribution, which the emission spectra of gases do not demonstrate. It thus does not apply to them. Planck's Law does not work when dealing with gases, just like how the IGL works okay for some things, but not necessarily for all. There. An example of a gas (mercury and halides, gaseous) that does not demonstrate Planck's Law. If that example doesn't work, I'll find another and another and another. Planck's Law is more like the IGL than the Laws of Thermodynamics.

spot ★★★★☆ (1323)	According to my sources; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%27s_law Planck's law describes the spectral density of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature T. According toIBdaMann ; "Air" is not a body in and of itself. Ergo it is not a blackbody.

There is no temperature for which Planck's law gives a graph of radiance against wavelength with more than one peak. Therefore any emission spectrum with more than a single peak does not follow Planck's law.

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	We have a graph of a mixture of gaseous metals. If that is not good enough, we can find another - but according to you, the identity of a radiating substance only matters to the point of changing emissivity, and that only scales the energy of the radiation; it does not move the peak. Thus, if I can demonstrate that Planck's Law predicts that all bodies of even temperature will have an emission spectrum only one local maximum (or peak, for those who haven't done Calc), and that a body of even temperature demonstrates an emission spectrum with multiple local maxima, then I have proved you wrong. That is, I will show that Planck's Law predicts that there is only one local maximum, making it the global maximum. This can be reworded to say that "any local maximum in a Planckian emission spectrum will be the global maximum." If I can demonstrate that there exist multiple local maxima in an emission spectrum, or that there exist points with y-value greater than or equal to a local maximum, then in combination with the proof of my statement about Planck's Law, I will have proven you wrong. Do you agree with this? Edited on 30-09-2016 20:13

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Planck's Law will never predict multiple local maxima. Correct? Let us look at the following graph: Let's assume that this graph follows Planck's Law. There is a local maximum at ~600 nm, with a value of 80 (somethings). Planck's Law will never predict a value of 80 or above for any other wavelength. This includes 550 nm. I don't need to calculate it - because there exists a local maximum somewhere else, Planck's Law will preserve that as the global maximum. So surely 550 nm has a power of <80, right? No. It has a power of 100. Take that. You called me logically and scientifically illiterate - and yet you couldn't even notice the difference between two graphs. Hm. Maybe you are at the left side of the D-K graph.
