Intensity vs. radiative flux Remember the units used in Intensity (Wm-2sr-1) and in Flux (Wm-2). Intensity refers to radiation travelling in a certain direction, and Flux to radiation emitted in all directions The left hand side of Planck function refers to the intensityof radiation for a particular wavelength
Wien’s Displacement Law • Refers to the wavelength of maximum emission of Planck’s Function • Obtained by taking the derivative with respect to wavelength and setting it = 0 • ΚW= 2897μm K

Gray Bodies You assume the emissivity (and hence absorptivity) is a constant fraction of black body emissivity across all wavelengths
Stefan – Boltzmann Law • Obtained by integrating Planck’s function over all wavelengths (eq. 6.4) p.122. • σ = 5.67 X 10-8 Wm-2K4
