Blackbody radiation—the radiation emitted from an object due to its temperature alone—continues to find a dizzying array of applications in our modern world. From the humble infrared remote control to state-of-the-art guided missile systems, blackbody radiation remains a subject under constant technological development. This book discusses modern day radiometry calculations involved in blackbody radiation without the use of digital technology. It includes numerical computational methods that can be used in the design of current and future radiometric systems.
