Effect of radiation on perceived temperature a completely enclosed room, box, etc. In the winter, the amount of heat loss from a person, when the inner surfaces of the room were 10 degrees Celsius, was found to be 152 Watts. (Q ̇=(0.95)(5.67x〖10〗^(-8) )(1.4)[(30+273)^4-(10+273)^4 ]=152) ̇ In the summer, the amount of heat loss from a person, when the inner surfaces of the room were 25 degrees Celsius, was found to be 40.9 Watts. (Q ̇=(0.95)(5.67x〖10〗^(-8) )(1.4)[(30+273)^4-(25+273)^4 ]=40.9) ̇ Thermal radiation is the form of radiation emitted by bodies because of their temperature. It differs from other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as x-rays, gamma rays, microwaves,
Poynting–Robertson effect affecting dust grains from 1 µm to 1 mm in diameter. Larger dust is likely to collide with another object long before such drag can have an effect. Poynting initially gave a description of the effect in 1903 based on the "luminiferous aether" theory, which was superseded by the theories of relativity in 1905–1915. In 1937 Robertson described the effect in terms of general relativity. Robertson considered dust motion in a beam of radiation emanating from a point source. A. W. Guess later considered the problem for a spherical source of radiation and found that for particles far from the
