  2. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    The above-mentioned linearity of Planck's mechanical assumptions, not allowing for energetic interactions between frequency components, was superseded in 1925 by Heisenberg's original quantum mechanics. In his paper submitted on 29 July 1925, Heisenberg's theory accounted for Bohr's above-mentioned formula of 1913.

  3. Intensity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensity_(physics)

    In physics and many other areas of science and engineering the intensity or flux of radiant energy is the power transferred per unit area, ...

  4. Wien's displacement law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_displacement_law

    In particular, the curve of intensity per unit frequency peaks at a different wavelength than the curve of intensity per unit wavelength. [ 12 ] For example, using T {\displaystyle T} = 6,000 K (5,730 °C; 10,340 °F) and parameterization by wavelength, the wavelength for maximal spectral radiance is λ {\displaystyle \lambda } = 482.962 nm ...

  5. Radiant intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_intensity

    Radiant intensity is used to characterize the emission of radiation by an antenna: [2], = (), where E e is the irradiance of the antenna;; r is the distance from the antenna.; Unlike power density, radiant intensity does not depend on distance: because radiant intensity is defined as the power through a solid angle, the decreasing power density over distance due to the inverse-square law is ...

  6. Wavenumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber

    where ν is the frequency of the wave, λ is the wavelength, ω = 2πν is the angular frequency of the wave, and v p is the phase velocity of the wave. The dependence of the wavenumber on the frequency (or more commonly the frequency on the wavenumber) is known as a dispersion relation.

  7. Irradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irradiance

    This is sometimes also confusingly called "intensity". Spectral radiosity: J e,ν [nb 3] watt per square metre per hertz W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1: M⋅T −2: Radiosity of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength. The latter is commonly measured in W⋅m −2 ⋅nm −1. This is sometimes also confusingly called "spectral intensity". J e,λ [nb 4]

  8. Photon energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_energy

    Photon energy is directly proportional to frequency. [1] = where is energy (joules in the SI system) [2] is the Planck constant; is frequency [2] This equation is known as the Planck relation. Additionally, using equation f = c/λ, = where

  9. Brightness temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness_temperature

    For a black body, Planck's law gives: [8] [11] = where (the Intensity or Brightness) is the amount of energy emitted per unit surface area per unit time per unit solid angle and in the frequency range between and +; is the temperature of the black body; is the Planck constant; is frequency; is the speed of light; and is the Boltzmann constant.
