nydus/The Theory of Heat RadiationPublic

This text examines the physical distinction between heat conduction and heat radiation, noting that radiation is independent of the medium through which it passes. It establishes that heat rays are physically identical to light rays and applies the principles of experimental optics to the study of thermal radiation.

By means of the measured values Here as well as later on the value given above [eqn:(79)] (79) has been replaced by a=7.39·1015, obtained from$ = ac4 = 5.54 · 10^-5$. This is the final result of the newest measurements made by W. Westphal, according to information kindly furnished by him and Mr. H. Rubens. (Nov., 1912). [Compare [page:64]p. page:64, footnote. Tr.] of a and c2 the universal constants h and k may be readily calculated. For it follows from equations [eqn:(277)] (277) and [eqn:(288)] (288) that h=ac2448παck=ac2348πα.\Label[eqn](292)\upshape (292) Substituting the values of the constants a, c2, α, c, we get h=6.415·1027ergsec.,k=1.34·1016ergdegree.\Label[eqn](293)\upshape (293)
