Two physical laws define the radiant behavior illustrated in Figure A-6:<br />

The Stephan-Boltzmann Law (1):<br />

W = εδT 4<br />

and Wien’s Displacement Law (2):<br />

λ m = b/T = (2897/T μm)<br />

Where:<br />

W = Radiant flux emitted per unit are a (watts/cm²)<br />

ε = Emissivity (unity for a blackbody target)<br />

δ = Stephan-Boltzmann constant = 5.673 x10 -12 watts cm -2<br />

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

λ m = Wavelength <strong>of</strong> maximum radiation (µm)<br />

b = Wien’s displacement constant = 2897 (µm∙K)<br />
