Black Body Radiation

Black Body Radiation

The aim of this lecture is to present on Black Body Radiation. Blackbodies emit light at all wavelengths. Very cool objects peat at radio wavelengths and very hot objects peak at ultraviolet, x-ray, or gamma-ray wavelengths.  “Blackbody radiation” or “cavity radiation” refers to an object or system which absorbs all radiation incident upon it and re-radiates energy which is characteristic of this radiating system only, not dependent upon the type of radiation which is incident upon it.
