Nonblackbody Radiation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Optical Physics and Engineering ((OPEG))

Abstract

None of the natural or artificial objects that we may encounter is a perfectly black body. For example, “black” paper reflects 4.5% of the energy striking it, “black” cloth slightly over 1%, and “black” velvet 0.4%. A fundamental property of a perfectly black body is that its shape, material, and surface characteristics have no bearing whatever on its radiating and absorbing characteristics.
