Sentences with phrase «blackbody radiation»
"Blackbody radiation" refers to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by an object that absorbs all incoming light and reflects none, appearing completely black. This type of radiation is characterized by its intensity and distribution at different wavelengths, providing valuable information about the object's temperature and energy. Full definition
This is called the Planck feedback because it is fundamentally due to the Planck blackbody radiation law (warmer temperatures = higher emission).

Our results suggest that the size of the smooth cloud, a dominant component in the model, is by about 10 % more compact than previously thought, and that the dust sizes are not large enough to emit blackbody radiation in the mid-IR.
Their first graph shows the difference of 1997 — 1970 spectral results converted from W / m2 into Brightness Temperature (the equivalent blackbody radiation temperature).
The comparison of solar activity change over the past century (0.19 %) and United States temperature change (in K)(0.21 %) assumes that readers are sufficiently ignorant of basic blackbody radiation theory to think that the similarity of the numbers supports their thesis, rather than being convincing evidence against their thesis.
Over this is superimposed a set of smooth curves of ideal blackbody radiation, labeled with temperatures.
Since blackbody radiation varies as the 4th power of temperature this should correspond to a 1.5 % variation in the earth's temperature or about 4.5 K.
If that is correct I would say the answer is: in addition to explaining the basic blackbody radiation correctly (avoiding ultraviolet catastrophe among other problems of the classical explanation), it explains why atmospheric gases have absorption peaks; this in turn explains why the atmosphere is transparent to incoming solar radiation but opaque to IR (longwave) radiation from the earth.
Water is the third most abundant molecule in the atmosphere and the principal absorber of both incoming sunlight and reradiated blackbody radiation.
That's indeed how early investigators hit upon blackbody radiation to begin with.
The team further fitted the spectra to a blackbody radiation curve and showed that it corresponded to plasma at a temperature of about 8,000 degrees Kelvin.
A study in the journal Nano Letters shows that the well - known rules of heat transfer from a nonreflective object, called Planck's blackbody radiation law, break down if the object can be brought close enough to another object while still not touching it.
Now physicists from M.I.T. have finally shown that if you can get another object near enough to the blackbody, but still not touching it, Planck's blackbody radiation law really does break down.
The air then heats the dust which loses the heat to space through the blackbody radiation from the dust grains.
2.170) which is for blackbody radiation, they should be using the Microscopic Radiative Transfer Equation, which has terms for both spontaneous and stimulated emissions by greenhouse gases (Thomas and Stamnes [T&S], Eqn.
