Black-body radiation refers to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a perfect black body, which is an idealized physical object that absorbs all incident radiation, regardless of frequency or angle. When a black body is in thermal equilibrium, it emits radiation in a characteristic spectrum that depends solely on its temperature. Key characteristics of black-body radiation include: 1. **Spectrum**: A black body emits radiation across a continuous spectrum of wavelengths, with the intensity peaking at a particular wavelength that is determined by its temperature.
