| Though the book advises readers to have a background in physics and calculus and a working knowledge of complex numbers and vectors, physicist McMahon clearly defines the notions of blackbody radiation, the photoelectric effect, the Schrodinger equation, and vector space. 2, has been extensively used to calibrate heat-flux sensors and to study problems related to heat-flux sensor calibration using blackbody radiation. In addition, Mikron offers users of infrared thermometers, radiometers, heat flux meters, thermal imaging systems and spectrographic analyzers a full line of blackbody radiation calibration sources, traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). |
