BLACKBODY- A mass which absorbs and emits all wavelengths of radiation.
BLIZZARD- Snow with winds greater than 35 mph and visibility of 1/4 mile or less that lasts for several hours.
BLO- Below.
Blackbody - A hypothetical "body" that absorbs all of the electromagnetic radiation striking it - it does not reflect or transmit any of the incident radiation. The radiation emitted is consistent with Planck's law.
Blackbody - A material that is able to absorb 100 percent of the radiation that strikes it.
Blizzard - A violent and extremely cold wind laden with dry snow picked up from the ground.
Blackbody A perfect radiator or absorber; a material that absorbs 100% of the radiation striking it and emits the maximum possible radiation at all wavelengths.
equivalent blackbody temperature"1. For a radiating body, the temperature of a blackbody that emits the same radiant flux density. So defined, the equivalent blackbody temperature TE is given by ...
Radiation LawsThe four physical laws which fundamentally describe the behavior of blackbody radiation: Kirchhoff's law, Planck's law, Stefan-Boltzmann law and Wien's displacement law.Radiational CoolingThe cooling of the Earth's surface.
To a first approximation, the sun radiates as a blackbody at a temperature of about 5700 K; hence, about 99.9% of its energy output falls within the wavelength interval from 0.15 to 4.0 μm, with peak intensity near 0.5 μm.
