    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    The Planck temperature T P is 1.416 784 (16) ... Normalizes the characteristic impedance Z g of gravitational radiation in free space to 1 (normally expressed as ...

  3. 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.

  4. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    Black-body radiation has a characteristic, continuous frequency spectrum that depends only on the body's temperature, [8] called the Planck spectrum or Planck's law. The spectrum is peaked at a characteristic frequency that shifts to higher frequencies with increasing temperature, and at room temperature most of the emission is in the infrared ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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 = + +

  7. Natural units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

    In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.

  8. Rotational temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_temperature

    The physical meaning of θ R is as an estimate of the temperature at which thermal energy (of the order of k B T) is comparable to the spacing between rotational energy levels (of the order of hcB). At about this temperature the population of excited rotational levels becomes important. Some typical values are given in the table.

  9. Planck constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant

    The Planck constant, or Planck's constant, denoted by , [1] is a fundamental physical constant [1] of foundational importance in quantum mechanics: a photon's energy is equal to its frequency multiplied by the Planck constant, and the wavelength of a matter wave equals the Planck constant divided by the associated particle momentum.
