  2. Stefan–Boltzmann law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan–Boltzmann_law

    So long as the geometry of the surface does not cause the blackbody to reabsorb its own radiation, the total energy radiated is just the sum of the energies radiated by each surface; and the total surface area is just the sum of the areas of each surface—so this law holds for all convex blackbodies, too, so long as the surface has the same ...

  3. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    A consequence of Wien's displacement law is that the wavelength at which the intensity per unit wavelength of the radiation produced by a black body has a local maximum or peak, , is a function only of the temperature: =, where the constant b, known as Wien's displacement constant, is equal to + 2.897 771 955 × 10 −3 m K. [31]

  4. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    According to Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation, this entails that, for every frequency ν, at thermodynamic equilibrium at temperature T, one has α ν,B (T) = ε ν,B (T) = 1, so that the thermal radiation from a black body is always equal to the full amount specified by Planck's law. No physical body can emit thermal radiation that exceeds ...

  5. Wien's displacement law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_displacement_law

    In physics, Wien's displacement law states that the black-body radiation curve for different temperatures will peak at different wavelengths that are inversely proportional to the temperature. The shift of that peak is a direct consequence of the Planck radiation law , which describes the spectral brightness or intensity of black-body radiation ...

  6. Effective temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_temperature

    The effective temperature of the Sun (5778 kelvins) is the temperature a black body of the same size must have to yield the same total emissive power.. The effective temperature of a star is the temperature of a black body with the same luminosity per surface area (F Bol) as the star and is defined according to the Stefan–Boltzmann law F Bol = σT eff 4.

  7. Black body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_body

    A black body or blackbody is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. The radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium with its environment is called black-body radiation. The name "black body" is given because it absorbs all colors of light.

  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. Thermal radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation

    Blackbody radiation is a concept used to analyze thermal radiation in idealized systems. This model applies if a radiating object meets the physical characteristics of a black body in thermodynamic equilibrium. [4]: 278 Planck's law describes the spectrum of blackbody radiation, and relates the radiative heat flux from a body to its temperature.
