Figure 1.6: Typical blackbody distribution<br />

curves and basic radiation laws<br />

Stefan-Boltzmann Law<br />

Radiant Flux per Unit Area In W/cm 2<br />

W= σƐT 4<br />

Ɛ = emissivity (unity for a blackbody target)<br />

σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant<br />

= 5.673 x I0 -8 W/m -2 ∙K -4<br />

T = absolute temperature of target (K)<br />

Wien's Displacement Law<br />

λ max = b/T<br />

where: λ max = peak wavelength (μm)<br />

b = Wien's displacement constant<br />

(2897 or 3000 approximately)<br />
