Figure 174: The surface brightness Bν(T) of a blackbody emitter as viewed through free<br />

space in the solid-angle element dΩ produces a flow of energy given by the specific intensity<br />

Iν ≡ Bν<br />

Referring to the conventions reported in Figure 175(a), the previous differential equation<br />

provides the following integral solution:<br />
