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.

Let us perform the spectral resolution of the intensity J according to [sect:174.] Sec. 174; namely, J=𝖨νdν.

Then, by comparison with [eqn:(318)] (318), we find for the intensity of a definite frequency ν contained in the exciting vibration the value 𝖨=4πcsin2θdΩ(𝖪νcos2ψ+𝖪νsin2ψ).\Label[eqn](320)\upshape (320) For radiation which is unpolarized and uniform in all directions we obtain again, in agreement with [eqn:(160)] (160), 𝖨=32π23c𝖪.
