Study Notes
- Planck's Law describes electromagnetic radiation's spectral density emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium at a temperature T.
Planck's Law Formula
- Formula: $B(v,T) = \frac{2hv^3}{c^2} \frac{1}{e^{\frac{hv}{k_BT}}-1}$
- B(v,T) is the spectral radiance, defined as the power emitted per unit area of the black body, per unit solid angle, per unit frequency.
- T is the absolute temperature of the black body.
- h is Planck's constant.
- c is the speed of light.
- $k_B$ is Boltzmann's constant.
- $v$ is the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation.
- As temperature increases, the total emitted radiation increases.
- The spectrum's peak shifts to higher frequencies with increasing temperature.
