Classic papers on blackbody radiation:
1. Kirchhoff G. Über den Zusammenhang zwischen Emission und Absorption von Licht und. Wärme. Monatsberichte der Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, sessions of Dec. 1859, 1860, 783–787.
2. Kirchhoff G. Über das Verhältnis zwischen dem Emissionsvermögen und dem Absorptionsvermogen. der Körper fur Wärme und Licht. Poggendorfs Annalen der Physik und Chemie, 1860, v. 109, 275–301.
3. Guthrie: Kirchhoff G. On the relation between the radiating and the absorbing powers of different bodies for light and heat. Phil. Mag., 1860, ser. 4, v. 20, 1–21).
4. Wien W. Über die Energieverteilung in Emissionspektrum eines schwarzen Körpers. Ann. Phys., 1896, v. 58, 662–669.
5. Stefan J. Über die Beziehung zwischen der Warmestrahlung und der Temperature. Sitzungsberichte der mathematischnatur wissenschaftlichen Classe der kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Wien 1879, v. 79, 391–428.
6. Planck M. Über das Gesetz der Energieverteilung im Normalspektrum.
Annalen der Physik, 1901, v. 4, 553–563 (English translation by ter Haar D.: Planck M. On the theory of the energy distribution in the normal spectrum. The old quantum theory. Pergamon Press, 1967, 82–90; also Planck’s December 14, 1900 lecture Zur Theorie des Gesetzes der Energieverteilung in Normalspectrum, which stems from this paper, can be found in either German, or English, in: Kangro H. Classic papers in physics: Planck’s original papers in quantum physics. Taylor & Francis, London, 1972, 6–14 or 38–45).
7. Planck M. The theory of heat radiation. P. Blakiston’s Son & Co., Philadelphia, PA, 1914. gutenberg.org/ebooks/40030
8. Stewart B. An account of some experiments on radiant heat, involving an extension of Prévost’s theory of exchanges. Trans. Royal Soc. Edinburgh, 1858, v. 22, no. 1, 1–20 (also found in Harper’s Scientific Memoirs, edited by J. S. Ames: The Laws of Radiation and Absorption: Memoirs of Prévost, Stewart, Kirchhoff, and Kirchhoff and Bunsen, translated and edited by D. B. Brace, American Book Company, New York, 1901, 21–50).
9. J.C. De Vos, Evaluation of the quality of a blackbody. Physica, 1954, vol. XX, 669-689.
Pierre-Marie Robitaille, Ph.D., is a professor of radiology at The Ohio State University. He also holds an appointment in the Chemical Physics Program. In 1998, he led the design and assembly of the world’s first Ultra High Field MRI System. This brought on the need to question fundamental aspects of thermal physics, including ideas related to Kirchhoff’s Law of thermal emission, and more.
