A perfectly black, sealed container is placed in a room. Initially, the container is much colder than the room. What will happen over time regarding energy exchange?
Why did classical physics fail to accurately describe the blackbody spectrum, leading to the ultraviolet catastrophe?
A blackbody has a temperature of 5800 K. Using Wien's Displacement Law, calculate the peak wavelength () of its emission spectrum, given that Wien's displacement constant (b) is approximately 2.898 \times 10^{-3} , \text{m} \cdot \text{K}.
Two stars have different surface temperatures. Star A has a temperature of 3000 K, and Star B has a temperature of 6000 K. According to Wien's Law, how will their peak wavelengths () compare?
A distant star has a peak emission wavelength of 290 nm. Using Wien's Displacement Law, estimate the temperature of the star's surface (Wien's constant b = 2.90 \times 10^{-3} mâ‹…K).
A blackbody with a surface area of 1 , \text{m}^2 has a temperature of 300 K. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, calculate the total power emitted by the blackbody, given that the Stefan-Boltzmann constant () is approximately 5.67 \times 10^{-8} , \text{W} , \text{m}^{-2} , \text{K}^{-4}.

On a blackbody spectrum graph (intensity vs. wavelength), what does the peak of the curve represent?
Two identical blackbodies, A and B, have surface areas of 1 , \text{m}^2. Blackbody A is at a temperature of 200 K, and blackbody B is at a temperature of 400 K. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, how does the power emitted by blackbody B compare to the power emitted by blackbody A?
What is blackbody radiation primarily defined as?
