单词 | black body |
释义 | black bodyn. Physics. An idealized object that completely absorbs all the electromagnetic radiation falling on it.A black body emits radiation in a characteristic spectrum, the form of which depends on the temperature of the black body (cf. Rayleigh–Jeans n., Planck's law n. (a) at Planck n. 1b, Stefan–Boltzmann law n. at Stefan–Boltzmann n. a, Wien n.2 (a)). At room temperature most of the emission of a black body is in the infrared, with negligible radiation in the visible part of the spectrum, so that the black body does indeed appear black. As its temperature increases, however, the emitted wavelengths become shorter and the black body becomes visible with a colour, at first red, then orange, white, etc.A black body can be approximated by a small hole in a large enclosure.

Stellar Photospheres (ed. 3) vi. 119 The material is then close to thermodynamic equilibrium and we expect the radiation laws of a black body to describe the radiation in these deep layers of a stellar photosphere.

W. Waidner & G. K. Burgess Radiation from & Melting Points of Palladium & Platinum 165 The black-body temperature, t0, is the temperature at which the ideal black-body radiator of Kirchhoff would emit radiation of the same intensity as a substance at a temperature t0 for the particular wave length under consideration. 1922 Jrnl.
