What is another word for blackbody radiation?
Pronunciation: [blˈakbɒdi ɹˌe͡ɪdɪˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Blackbody radiation, also referred to as thermal radiation or Planck radiation, describes the type of radiation emitted by any object at a particular temperature, regardless of its composition or chemical makeup. This phenomenon occurs when an object absorbs electromagnetic radiation and re-emits it in the form of heat, producing a continuous spectrum of colors. Another related term is Wien's law, which describes the peak wavelength of a blackbody's emitted radiation. The Stefan-Boltzmann law is also linked to blackbody radiation, stating that an object's radiation energy is directly proportional to its temperature to the fourth power. These concepts are essential to understand for scientists and physicists studying the behavior of objects in space, as well as for the development of technologies like infrared cameras and sensors.
