LACKBODIES AND THE INFRARED EMISSION OF THE
P
REMIO
10
MOXA
A blackbody designates an ideal object whose electromagnetic spectrum
– meaning the breakdown of the quantity of energy emitted according to
wavelength – only depends on temperature.
This curve has a specific, continuous shape with a peak corresponding to
the wavelength with the highest energy level, and a more or less straight
slope for bigger or smaller wavelengths.
The area beneath the curve represents the total energy emitted.
When a blackbody is heated to 950°C, as with the
Premio 10 moxa
emitter, the emission is centered in the medium infrared (peak around
2.6
µ
m), and a significant part of the energy is given off in the long
infrared, up to wavelengths approaching 15
µ
m.
The emission curve of the
Premio 10 moxa
is very near that of a
blackbody (see fig. 2).
