A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Black body radiation

Black-body radiation deals with the electromagnetic radiation emitted by an ideal body that absorbs all incident radiation and re-emits energy according to its temperature. For exams, you must master the meaning of a black body, the shape and significance of its radiation spectrum, and the main laws used to describe it, because these laws connect temperature, intensity, wavelength, and total emitted power.
