Assuming that your surface temperature is 98.6°F and that you are an ideal blackbody radiator (you are close), find (a) the wavelength at which your spectral radiancy is maximum, (b) the power at which you emit thermal radiation in a wavelength range of 1.00 nm at that wavelength, from a surface area of 4.00 cm2, and (c) the corresponding rate at which you emit photons from that area. Using a wavelength of 500 nm (in the visible range), (d) recalculate the power and (e) the rate of photon emission. (As you have noticed, you do not visibly glow in the dark.)
A cavity radiator has its maximum spectral radiance at a wavelength of 2,5×10-7 m. If the body is heated so that T/T0 = 5,5, what will be the ratio of radiant powers W/W0? Wien's constant b = 2.897 ×10-3 m·K.
Consider a black body of surface area 22.0 cm² and temperature 5700 K.
(a) How much power does it radiate?
131675.5
W
(b) At what wavelength does it radiate most intensely?
508.421
nm
(c) Find the spectral power per wavelength at this wavelength. Remember that the Planck intensity is "intensity per unit wavelength", with units of W/m³, and "power per unit
wavelength" is equal to that intensity times the surface area, with units of W/m
