Lecture 01 - Black Body Radiation I - Relevant Definitions and Block Body as Cavity |
In this lecture we introduce the idea of a black-body and various definitions related to radiation coming out of it. We show how a cavity which has a portion of its inner walls that can absorb radiation acts as a black body. Some properties of radiation inside such a cavity are discussed.
