Planck's Law and Blackbody Radiation A black body is an object that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation (e.g. light), no light passes through or is reflected. However, despite the name, a black body will also emit electromagnetic radiation. The radiation of a black body in thermal equilibrium is described by Planck’s Law: Where is the radiated power per unit area of emitting surface per unit wavelength at temperature...
- Page 6 Optical Configuration The SLS301 is a Tungsten-Halogen lamp with a 150 W Halogen bulb. The bulb is placed inside the lamp housing, at the back focal point of the collimating lens, with the long axis of the filament parallel to the plano surface of the lens, giving a collimated output beam.
