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.
