Homer Simpson's Thermal Radiation?

We all have seen the cartoon show called, “The Simpsons.” We all know the character named Homer Simpson, who works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. His job place always dealing with radiation around him and his co-workers. But we don’t know deep details about radiation. Let’s start by talking about the thermal radiation. Thermal radiation is energy where it transfers by the emission of electromagnetic waves. The waves hold energy away from releasing object. For a normal temperature, the radiation is in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The relationship ,conducting the net radiation from a hot object is called,” Stefan Boltzmann Law.”In 1879, it empirically obtained by Josef Stefan. In 1884, it was obtained theoretically …show more content…
He noticed the radiation in 1800 where if a thermometer was moved from one end of a prism. Then it created spectrum to the other. The highest temperature would file below red band, where no light was able to be seen. Due to the position, it forms infrared radiation. This type of radiation is would be called,” heat wave.” Instead, it called misnomer. Say if the heat is the transfer of the internal energy from one region to another region. Then all forms of the electromagnetic radiation transfer internal energy are called,” heat waves.” Thermal radiation is produced by a heated surface in all directions and moves directly to its point of absorption at the speed of light. It doesn’t need an intervening medium to carry it. Thermal radiation extends wavelength from the longest infrared rays through appearable light spectrum to the shortest ultraviolet rays. The distribution and intensity of radiant energy within this range. It’s governed by the temperature of emitting surface. The Stefan-Boltzmann Law have the total heat absorbed by a surface, which is proportional to the 4th power of the absolute temperature. The rate of the body where it radiates the thermal radiation relies upon the nature of the …show more content…
The law has important consequences in the measurement of light. The law states the intensity of radiation along a direction which has angle with the normal to the surface. The way to get perfect blackbody is that blackbody must obey Lambert’s Cosine Law. If it doesn’t, it will be broken into the second law of thermodynamics. Visualize two facing each other, both of them are flawless blackbodies at the same temperature. The radiation moves back and forth between the walls and the walls are absorbing, as well taking it as much it
