On the Trail of Blackbody Radiation
An account of Max Planck’s construction of his theory of blackbody radiation, summarizing the established physics on which he drew. In the last year of the nineteenth century, Max Planck constructed a theory of blackbody radiation—the radiation emitted and absorbed by nonreflective bodies in thermal equilibrium with one another—and his work ushered in the quantum revolution in physics. In this book, three physicists trace Planck’s discovery. They follow the trail of Planck’s thinking by constructing a textbook of sorts that summarizes the established physics on which he drew. By offering this account, the authors explore not only how Planck deployed his considerable knowledge of th...
Blackbody Radiation
Shelving Guide: Electrical Engineering In 1900 the great German theoretical physicist Max Planck formulated a correct mathematical description of blackbody radiation. Today, understanding the behavior of a blackbody is of importance to many fields including thermal and infrared systems engineering, pyrometry, astronomy, meteorology, and illumination. This book gives an account of the development of Planck's equation together with many of the other functions closely related to it. Particular attention is paid to the computational aspects employed in the evaluation of these functions together with the various aids developed to facilitate such calculations. The book is divided into three sectio...
Blackbody Radiometry
This book, the first of a two-volume set, focuses on the basic physical principles of blackbody radiometry and describes artificial sources of blackbody radiation, widely used as sources of optical radiation, whose energy characteristics can be calculated on the base of fundamental physical laws. Following a review of radiometric quantities, radiation laws, and radiative heat transfer, it introduces the basic principles of blackbody radiators design, details of their practical implementation, and methods of measuring their defining characteristics, as well as metrological aspects of blackbody-based measurements. Chapters are dedicated to the effective emissivity concept, methods of increasing effective emissivities, their measurement and modeling using the Monte Carlo method, techniques of blackbody radiators heating, cooling, isothermalization, and measuring their temperature. An extensive and comprehensive reference source, this book is of considerable value to students, researchers, and engineers involved in any aspect of blackbody radiometry.
Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912
"A masterly assessment of the way the idea of quanta of radiation became part of 20th-century physics. . . . The book not only deals with a topic of importance and interest to all scientists, but is also a polished literary work, described (accurately) by one of its original reviewers as a scientific detective story."—John Gribbin, New Scientist "Every scientist should have this book."—Paul Davies, New Scientist
The Normalized Cumulative Blackbody Functions, Their Applications in Thermal Radiation Calculations, and Related Subjects
Rapid calculation of the radiant power and the quantum flux emitted by a blackbody source involving any wavelength interval is made possible by the derivations in this paper which introduces the 'normalized cumulative blackbody functions' formulated by the author. Thus, in contrast to conventional blackbody tables, all different radiation temperatures and any wavelength interval are covered by one function which can be compiled in one simple table of very modest volume. The final expressions using these cumulative blackbody functions are uncomplicated equations which can be solved by slide rule operations or, for higher accuracy, by using a desk calculator. Further, the paper introduces an unambiguous symbolism for expressing power and quantum flux radiated by a blackbody source and for expressing performance factors such as conversion yields of broadband radiation detectors. Also equations for calculating the difference in power and quantum flux for blackbody sources against a blackbody background are derived. Illustrative examples for typical situations are calculated.

Blackbody Radiation
Blackbody radiation—the radiation emitted from an object due to its temperature alone—continues to find a dizzying array of applications in our modern world. From the humble infrared remote control to state-of-the-art guided missile systems, blackbody radiation remains a subject under constant technological development. This book discusses modern day radiometry calculations involved in blackbody radiation without the use of digital technology. It includes numerical computational methods that can be used in the design of current and future radiometric systems.
