Modern Physics for Engineers Lecture slides 22c – Thermal radiation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This lecture part derives Planck's description of the black-body radiation spectrum (as seen in the sun and in incandescent light bulbs, for example) that triggered much of modern quantum mechanics. It continues to derive the Stefan-Boltzmann law for the amount of energy in a light field in thermal equilibrium, which also explains why hot objects radiate so much light. (slides)
