How the simulation works...

The interface provides a series of information about the characteristic of a Blackbody. For this you can change and analyze different parameters, what you can change during this simulation is presented in the figure below.

A blackbody, when illuminated by white light absorbs all the ROYGBIV spectral colours. The same “black body” illuminated by an infrared source may not absorb all infrared wavelengths. The electromagnetic energy absorbed by a blackbody is radiated back out at different wavelengths.

 

1. Represents the light source that can offer different levels of light depending on the need of user and what spectrum wants to observe.

2. Temperature level, this can be also changed. In this way you can sew how the temperature influence the evolution of the system, how it reacts at different temperatures and which wavelength are characteristic to each level of temperatures. The temperature for this kind of measurements is presented in Kelvin degrees.

3. With the zoom in and out button you can increase or decrease the dimension of the wavelength to identify better each colour of the spectrum and its dimension. The dimension of the wavelength is in micrometer but as you can see under is the conversion rate.

4. Is also a zoom in and out button only that in this case refers to the intensity on the emitted light. With this you can easily see the curve even if is really close to the axis, when the temperature has a low level.

5. Here you can enable a ruler that will help you to see more precise the level of the intensity in case that you need a very precise measurement.

6. There are to buttons with which you can either save your measurements so you can use them later for intensive analyse or report, or to clear the simulation interface so you can start another one.

Using this buttons you can analyse and discover blackbody characteristics.
