  2. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    Hypothetically, a system in thermal equilibrium at the Planck temperature might contain Planck-scale black holes, constantly being formed from thermal radiation and decaying via Hawking evaporation. Adding energy to such a system might decrease its temperature by creating larger black holes, whose Hawking temperature is lower. [56]

  3. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    According to Planck's distribution law, the spectral energy density (energy per unit volume per unit frequency) at given temperature is given by: [4] [5] (,) = ⁡ alternatively, the law can be expressed for the spectral radiance of a body for frequency ν at absolute temperature T given as: [6] [7] [8] (,) = ⁡ where k B is the Boltzmann ...

  4. Brightness temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightness_temperature

    For a black body, Planck's law gives: [8] [11] = where (the Intensity or Brightness) is the amount of energy emitted per unit surface area per unit time per unit solid angle and in the frequency range between and +; is the temperature of the black body; is the Planck constant; is frequency; is the speed of light; and is the Boltzmann constant.

  5. Natural units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

    Planck considered only the units based on the universal constants G, h, c, and k B to arrive at natural units for length, time, mass, and temperature, but no electromagnetic units. [7] The Planck system of units is now understood to use the reduced Planck constant, ħ, in place of the Planck constant, h. [8]

  6. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    The color temperature (as well as the correlated color temperature defined above) may differ largely from the effective temperature given by the radiative flux of the stellar surface. For example, the color temperature of an A0V star is about 15000 K compared to an effective temperature of about 9500 K. [27]

  7. Thermal radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation

    The temperature determines the wavelength distribution of the electromagnetic radiation. The distribution of power that a black body emits with varying frequency is described by Planck's law. At any given temperature, there is a frequency f max at which the power emitted is a maximum.

  8. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    Through Planck's law the temperature spectrum of a black body is proportionally related to the frequency of light and one may substitute the temperature (T) for the frequency in this equation. For the case of a source moving directly towards or away from the observer, this reduces to T ′ = T c − v c + v . {\displaystyle T'=T{\sqrt {\frac {c ...

  9. Planckian locus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planckian_locus

    T is the temperature of the black body h is the Planck constant c is the speed of light k is the Boltzmann constant. This will give the Planckian locus in CIE XYZ color space. If these coordinates are X T, Y T, Z T where T is the temperature, then the CIE chromaticity coordinates will be = + +
