(1) Where P (watts) is the radiated power from a body of area A (m2) at temperature T (K). Îµ is emissivity, a dimensionless number between 0 and 1 that determines the. efficiency of a body to radiate and absorb energy. A perfect radiator and absorber has an emissivity of 1. Soil, ice, rock, asphalt and human skin have emissivities slightly less than 1. Ï -8is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, 5.67 x10 Wm-2T-4 T is the body temperature in Kelvin. So if absolute temperature (in Kelvin degrees) doubles, radiated power increases by a factor of sixteen. Also, changes in temperature alter radiation peak wavelengths. Temperature increases move peak radiation to smaller wavelengths and vice-versa. Equilibrium and Solid Angles
Martin Luther King was often seen wearing a gold Rolex DayDate at many of his speaking functions. Musician John Mayer is seen here wearing his Rolex Daytona. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres also wears a Rolex Daytona. Actor Brad Pitt is often seen wearing a Rolex Explorer.
