    1. This homework assignment on blackbody radiation is due on March 22nd. It asks students to (a) calculate the wavelength of maximum intensity for radiation from the human body (skin at 34°C) and identify what region of the electromagnetic spectrum it belongs to, (b) estimate the power radiated by a typical person isolated from surroundings, and (c) estimate the radiation power absorbed by a person in a room at 20°C. 2. It also asks students to (a) calculate the intensity of radiation at 875nm from an object at 1675K accepted by an analyzer set to 1.55nm, and (b) calculate the intensity and fraction of total radiation from the Sun (6000

    Knowing the Blackbody Radiation Homework #2

    Due date March 22nd

    1. (a) Assuming the human body (skin temperature 34C) to behave like an ideal thermal
    radiator, find the wavelength where the intensity from the body is a maximum. In what
    region of the electromagnetic spectrum is radiation with this wavelength? (b) Making
    whatever (reasonable) assumptions you may need, estimate the power radiated by a
    typical person isolated from the surroundings. (c) Estimate the radiation power absorbed
    by a person in a room in which the temperature is 20C.

    2. (a) An analyzer for thermal radiation is set to accept wavelengths in an interval of 1.55
    nm. What is the intensity of the radiation in that interval at a wavelength of 875 nm
    emitted from a glowing object whose temperature is 1675 K? (b.1) Assuming the Sun to
    radiate like an ieda thermal source at a temperature of 6000 K, what is the intensity f the
    solar radiation emitted in the range 550.0 nm to 552.0 nm? (b.1) What fraction of the total
    solar radiation does this represent?
