Miscellaneous`BlackBodyRadiation`

A body that absorbs all radiation incident on it is called an ideal black body. This package provides functions giving the basic properties of black-body radiation at a specified temperature, and a function for plotting black-body spectral distributions.

Black-body radiation properties.

This loads the package.

The surface of the sun is about 5000 K. Assuming the sun is a black-body radiator, this gives the wavelength at which its spectrum peaks.

This gives the total power radiated by a black body at a temperature of 5000 K.

This gives the radiative power in the wavelength interval of 0.1  about the peak wavelength of a black body at a temperature of 5000 K.

Plotting black-body profiles.

This gives the spectral distribution of radiation from a black body for three different temperatures.

Note that you can use the option PlotStyle -> { ,  , ... } with BlackBodyProfile to specify different styles for each profile curve.
