blackbody (sh) and King's College Chapel (oh)


blackbody (sh)




Theoretical surface that absorbs all radiant energy that falls on it, and radiates electromagnetic energy at all frequencies, from Radio waves to gamma rays, with an intensity distribution dependent on its temperature.

Because all visible light falling on such a surface is absorbed without reflection, the surface will appear black as long as its temperature is such that its emission peak is not in the visible portion of the spectrum. See also absorption.


King's College Chapel (oh)



a beautiful old church which is part of King's College, one of the colleges of the University of Cambridge, in eastern England
