A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Blackbody radiation

Blackbody radiation is the electromagnetic radiation emitted by an idealised perfect absorber and emitter in thermal equilibrium. Mastering its spectral distribution, Planck’s law, Wien’s displacement law and the Stefan–Boltzmann law is essential for solving problems on energy transfer, thermodynamics and quantum effects in the NUC CCMAS / NBTE / NCCE exams.
