2 CLASSICAL ARGUMENTS FOR PHOTON GAS A number of thermodynamic properties of photon gas can be determined from purely classical arguments 1 Assume photon gas is confined to rectangular box of dimensions 1/3 further assume that dimensions are all expanded by a factor L x L y L z that is volume is isotropically expanded by a factor of Cavity modes of electromagnetic radiation have quantized wave vectors even within classical electromagnetic theory for a given mode "( ~ k)=~c ~ k energy changes by It follows 1/3 S ~ k = 2 nx L x under an adiabatic volume expansion = 1 3 U and 2 n y L y V! Since U = U(T,V ) is extensive we must have P = P (T ) alone S, 2 n z L z V = U 3V 2
