Radiation
• Any object that has a temperature greater than 0 K, emits radiation.
• This radiation is in the form of electromagnetic waves, produced by the acceleration of electric charges.
• These waves don’t need matter in order to propagate; they move at the “speed of light” (3x105 km/sec) in a vacuum.
6
Electromagnetic Waves
• Two important aspects of waves are:– What kind: Wavelength or distance
between peaks.– How much: Amplitude or distance between
peaks and valleys.
Wavelength
Amplitude Frequency
7
Why Electromagnetic Waves?
• Radiation has an Electric Field Component and a Magnetic Field Component– Electric Field is Perpendicular to Magnetic
Field
8
Photons
• NOT TO CONFUSE YOU, but…• Can also think of radiation as individual packets of
energy or PHOTONS.• In simplistic terms, radiation with
– shorter wavelengths corresponds to photons with more energy and
– higher wave amplitude to more BB’s per second

Wien’s Law
The hotter the object, the shorter the brightest wavelength.
Danielson, Fig. 3.19
13
Wien’s Law
Relates the wavelength of maximum emission to the temperature of mass
MAX= (0.29104 m K) T-1
Warmer Objects => Shorter Wavelengths• Sun-visible light
MAX= (0.29104 m K)(5800 K)-1 0.5 m• Earth-infrared radiation
MAX= (0.29104 m K)(290 K)-1 10 m
14
Wien’s Law
What is the radiative temperature of an incandescent bulb whose wavelength of maximum emission is near 1.0 m ?
• Apply Wien’s Law:
MAX= (0.29104 m K) T-1
• Temperature of glowing tungsten filament
T= (0.29104 m K)(MAX)-1
T= (0.29104 m K)(1.0 m)-1 2900K
15
Stefan-Boltzmann’s (SB) Law
• The hotter the object, the more radiation emitted.
• When the temperature is doubled, the emitted energy increases by a factor of 16!
• Stefan-Boltzmann’s Law
E= (5.6710-8 Wm-2K-4 )T4
E=2222=16

How Much More Energy is Emitted by the Sun per m2 Than the Earth?
• Apply Stefan-Boltzman Law
• The Sun Emits 160,000 Times More Energy per m2 than the Earth,
• Plus Its Area is Mucho Bigger (by a factor of 10,000)!

Radiative Equilibrium
• Radiation absorbed by an object increases the energy of the object.– Increased energy causes temperature to
increase (warming).• Radiation emitted by an object decreases the
energy of the object.– Decreased energy causes temperature to
decrease (cooling).
18
Radiative Equilibrium (cont.)
• When the energy absorbed equals energy emitted, this is called Radiative Equilibrium.
• The corresponding temperature is the Radiative Equilibrium Temperature.

Modes of Heat Transfer
Williams, p. 19
Latent Heat
20
Key Points
• Radiation is emitted from all objects that have temperatures warmer than absolute zero (0 K).
• Wien’s Law: wavelength of maximum emission
MAX= (0.29104 m K) T-1
• Stefan-Boltzmann Law: total energy emission
E= (5.6710-8 W/m2 ) T4
21
Key Points
• Radiative equilibrium and temperature
Energy In = Energy Out (Eq. Temp.)
• Three modes of heat transfer due to temperature differences.
Conduction: molecule-to-molecule
Convection: fluid motion
Radiation: electromagnetic waves
