Selective Radiation From Various Solids II (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore how scientists measure light and heat from solid materials without guessing. This study explains how bolometric methods reveal true energy distribution across the spectrum, compare color matching with direct spectral data, and challenge common assumptions about emissivity and infrared behavior. It surveys metals, oxides, and filaments, including carbon and tungsten, and shows how thickness, reflectivity, and atmospheric effects influence measurements.

The work ties together practical experiments and critical analysis, illustrating why a wavelength-by-wavelength view matters when predicting radiation behavior. It discusses the limits of color matching, the advantages of bolometers, and the impact of lamp construction on observed energy distribution. Real-world examples—from filaments to mantles—highlight how physical structure shapes emissivity and apparent brightness across the visible and infrared regions.

• How color matching compares to bolometric measurements in predicting spectrum and emissivity.


• Why infrared behavior can differ greatly even when visible color looks similar.


• Differences between carbon and tungsten filaments and what their spectra reveal about thickness and material properties.


• Interpretation of experimental setups that ensure consistent comparison across spectra.

Ideal for readers interested in radiometry, spectroscopy, and the science of light sources, this edition provides a clear, methodical view of selective radiation in solids.
