alpha2cen Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Let us think about electromagnetic wave. very high temperature-----> UV emission high temperature-----------> visible light emission room temperature ---------> IR emission low temperature------------>micro wave emission?? If not, what is the problem? Edited February 6, 2011 by alpha2cen
John Cuthber Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Everything that you see around you is emitting microwaves. Even hot things, as well as emitting light, give of microwaves; in fact they give off more than cool things do.
ajb Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Use Wien's displacement law to calculate the temperature that corresponds to the peak wavelength in the microwave band of a blackbody. Let us know what temperature you get.
alpha2cen Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Then, Do at the more low temperature objects emit radio waves, too? According to Wien's displacement law, we correct above statement. Edited February 6, 2011 by alpha2cen
insane_alien Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Then, Do at the more low temperature objects emit radio waves, too? all black(even gall grey) body emitters emit at all wavelengths. the temperature only affects the proportion.
