I never understood Black Body Radiation - Until Now!


Summary

The video explores the physics behind the color change of hot glowing objects as they heat up, leading to Max Planck's quantum theory. It delves into the concept of black bodies, their significance, and why they do not reflect light. The process of creating a perfect black body using a hole in a metallic cube is discussed, along with the radiation graph of black bodies and the colors emitted at different temperatures. The application of displacement law is explained, showcasing its relevance in determining temperatures, solar panel energy production, and real-world implications.
