  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.

  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. 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.

  7. Planckian locus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planckian_locus

    Note that in the above formula for Planck's Law, you might as well use c 1L = 2hc 2 (the first radiation constant for spectral radiance) instead of c 1 (the “regular” first radiation constant), in which case the formula would give the spectral radiance L(λ,T) of the black body instead of the spectral radiant exitance M(λ,T).

  8. Thermal remote sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_Remote_sensing

    These properties are calculated by Boltzmann law. 2. Wien's displacement law: Wien's displacement law explains the relation between temperature and the wavelength of radiation. It states that the wavelength of radiation emitted from a blackbody is inversely proportional to the temperature of the black body.

  9. 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.
