Blackbody Radiation:

• What are the parameters associated with the making of light from warm objects?

  • Temperature of the object, T.
  • Surface area of the object, A.
  • Color (whiteness) of the object, ??

[Temperature must be in Kelvin, where size of one Kelvin is same as size of one degree Celsius, but T=0K is absolute zero, and T=273K = 0oC (freezing).]
