Figure A-7 shows the comparative spectral distribution <strong>of</strong> energy emitted by a<br />

blackbody, a gray body, and a non-gray body (also called a spectral body), all<br />

at the same temperature. For gray body measurements, a simple emissivity<br />

correction can usually be dialed in when absolute measurements are required.<br />

For non-gray bodies, the solutions are more difficult. To understand the<br />

reason for this, it is necessary to see what an instrument sees when it is<br />

aimed at a non-gray target surface.<br />
