The following work describes an optical course which consists of a theoretical material, an interactive remote experiment and exercises, part which will give a better understanding of the introduced concepts.

The theoretical part of the course describes the concept of a black body and its radiation, as well as the existence of the phenomenon in real life and in nature. Also some other physical parameters that would help you to understand better the black body concept.

At the beginning you will have to do some exercises on a simulation developed by the PhET, University of Colorado. There you will be able to change the values of some parameters and see some characteristics of black body using the “PhET Blackbody Spectrum”.

The experimental part of the course provides the details of the online lab and the remote experiment which allows students to have a better understanding of the natural process and of a black body system.

The online laboratory will be developed using LabVIEW software from National Instruments and integrated in the Online Labs Network from Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS) Villach, Austria (CUAS owns a license for LabVIEW Software).
