If we are interested in energy density traveling traveling in a certain direction, isotropy implies u ω ω ( 3 dωdω θ,ϕ )dωdω = 4π 3 c 3 exp ω 1 τ 2hν ( 3 dνdω θ,ϕ )dνdω = c 3 exp hν 1 τ Note if we use ν instead of ω Flux density in a certain direction=brightness (Energy /unit time, area, solid angle,frequency) opening is perpendicular to direction I ν dνdadω = 1 dt dν u cdtda ν dω = 2hν 3 dνdadω energy in c 2 exp hν 1 cylinder cdt τ Flux density through a fixed opening (Energy /unit time, area,frequency) J ν dνda = 1 dt dν 2π dϕ 1 u ν cdt cosθda d cosθ = 0 0 Phys 112 (S09) 6 Black Body Radiation short 6 u ν energy in cylinder! c 2 2πhν 3 dνda exp hν = c 4 u ν dvda 1 τ cdt da da θ n

Phys 112 (S09) 6 Black Body Radiation short 7
8 Detailed Balance: Kirchhoff law Definition: A body is black if it absorbs all electromagnetic radiation incident on it Usually true only in a range of frequency e.g. A cavity with a small hole appears black to the outside Detailed balance: in thermal equilibrium, power emitted by a system=power received by this system! Otherwise temperature would change! Consequence: The spectrum of radiation emitted by a black body is the black body spectrum calculated before u BB ( ω)dω = u cavity ( ω)dω Absorptivity, Emissivity: Absorptivity =fraction of radiation absorbed by body Black Body Cavity Black Body Emissivity = ratio of emitted spectral density to black body spectral density.
