  2. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    In physics, Planck's law (also Planck radiation law [1]: 1305 ) describes the spectral density of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature T, when there is no net flow of matter or energy between the body and its environment.

  3. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    Black-body radiation has a characteristic, continuous frequency spectrum that depends only on the body's temperature, [8] called the Planck spectrum or Planck's law. The spectrum is peaked at a characteristic frequency that shifts to higher frequencies with increasing temperature, and at room temperature most of the emission is in the infrared ...

  4. Black body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_body

    A black body radiator used in CARLO laboratory in Poland. It is an approximation of a model described by Planck's law utilized as a spectral irradiance standard.. As the temperature of a black body decreases, its radiation intensity also decreases and its peak moves to longer wavelengths.

  5. Planckian locus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planckian_locus

    M is the black body spectral radiant exitance (power per unit area per unit wavelength: watt per square meter per meter (W/m 3)) T is the temperature of the black body h is the Planck constant c is the speed of light k is the Boltzmann constant. This will give the Planckian locus in CIE XYZ color space.

  6. Ultraviolet catastrophe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_catastrophe

    The Rayleigh-Jeans law is an approximation to the spectral radiance of electromagnetic radiation as a function of wavelength from a black body at a given temperature through classical arguments. For wavelength λ {\displaystyle \lambda } , it is:

  7. Rayleigh–Jeans law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Jeans_law

    In 1900 Max Planck empirically obtained an expression for black-body radiation expressed in terms of wavelength λ = c/ν (Planck's law): =, where h is the Planck constant, and k B is the Boltzmann constant. Planck's law does not suffer from an ultraviolet catastrophe and agrees well with the experimental data, but its full significance (which ...

  8. 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.

  9. Wien's displacement law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_displacement_law

    Formally, the wavelength version of Wien's displacement law states that the spectral radiance of black-body radiation per unit wavelength, peaks at the wavelength given by: = where T is the absolute temperature and b is a constant of proportionality called Wien's displacement constant, equal to 2.897 771 955... × 10 −3 m⋅K, [1] [2] or b ...
