Introduction to Thermal Radiation. The Inverse Square Law
Experiment objectives: Make measurements testing the Stefan-Boltzmann law in high-temperature range
and inverse square law.
Background
In the previous lab, you studied the thermal radiation by using Leslie’s Cube and made measurements
testing the Stefan-Boltzmann law in low-temperature range ሺbelow 100 – 120
Cሻ which, as you may well
know by now, states that the amount of radiation emitted by a black body per unit area is directly
proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. This law is perfectly true only for ideal black body,
and object that absorbs all the radiation that strikes it.
In this lab, first you will experimentally test the Stefan-Boltzmann law in high-temperature range using
Stefan-Boltzmann Lamp ሺ~ 1500 – 2000 Kሻ and then you will test one of the very important relations in
physics, namely the inverse square law. It can be found in different branches of physics such as the theory
of gravitation, electromagnetic theory, and radiation. You will experimentally test that the intensity of the
radiation, ࠵? ሺor net power absorbed by detector per its active area, in W/m
2
ሻ, is proportional to the inverse
square of the distance, ࠵?, from that source, i.e.
࠵? ൌ
∝
ଵ
ௗ
మ
ሺ1ሻ
Figure 1 illustrates how the energy per unit area changes
according to Eq. ሺ1ሻ. As you can see, the illuminated area increases
by the factor of 4, 9, 16 etc. when the distance between the source
of radiation and area increases by factor of 2, 3, 4 and so one.

Initial Setup
Make sure that the Power Supply is turned OFF, its left switch is set to “0 – 16 V” voltage range and its
right switch is set to “Normal” mode, and the output voltage control knob should be turned all the way
counterclockwise and set to position “A”.
Check the following connections:
Power Supply’s black plug and Voltmeter’s black plug must be connected to each other by 12” black
jumper cable,
Power Supply’s black plug must also be connected to Stefan-Boltzmann lamp’s black plug using 24”
black cable,
Power Supply’s red plug and Voltmeter’s red plug must be connected by 12” red jumper cable,
Power Supply’s red plug must also be connected to Ammeter’s red plug by 24” red cable,
Stefan-Boltzmann lamp’s red plug and Ammeter’s black plug must be connected by 24” brown cable,
P35017 multimeter must be connected to the thermal radiation sensor as shown in Figure 1.
Warning:
Do not touch the bulb with your fingers!
If you touch the bulb with your fingers, the salts and oils
from your skin will damage the bulb and cause the heat to concentrate. This can significantly reduce the
life of the bulb or even worse cause it to shatter.
Place the sensor a few centimeters from the left corner of the protective light shield and cover the front
face of the sensor with double foam sheet.
In the first part, you will determine the temperature dependence of the power emitted from a heated
tungsten filament of the Stefan-Boltzmann lamp and compare with that predicted from the Stefan-
Boltzmann law. The lamp will be at a relatively high temperature ሺ~1000 Kሻ so the ambient temperature
can be ignored, and the calculation of the filament temperature is quite straightforward.

Experimental Procedure and Data Analysis
1. Place the front face of the sensor approximately 5 cm away from the filament ሺi.e.
5 cm from ࠵?
positionሻ.
Note: This is where the gray bases of the sensor and lamp touch each other. In other words, you should
simply slide the sensor until it touches the base of the lamp.
Important Note: Make each Sensor reading quickly. Between readings, slide the sensor 10-15 cm away
from the lamp and place both sheets of insulating foam between the lamp and the sensor, with the silvered
surface facing the lamp, so that the temperature of the sensor stays relatively constant.
2. Set the P35017 multimeter to read the voltage drop across thermopile ሺ
rangeሻ.
3. Turn on the power supply and at each voltage setting listed in Table 1, record ࠵? ሺammeter readingሻ and
࠵?

ሺthe potential drop across the thermopile due to the thermal radiation from the lampሻ.
Warning: The voltage into the lamp should NEVER exceed 10 V. Higher voltages may permanently damage
the lab equipment.

Account
Look at Figure 6.17, which shows the spectra of a light source at
several different temperatures. This source is assumed to emit
electromagnetic radiation only because of its temperature, not
its composition. This kind of source is called a blackbody, and if
we graph the intensity of its emitted radiation across all wave-
lengths (as in Figure 6.17), we obtain a characteristic curve called
a blackbody spectrum. As the object's temperature increases, it
emits more radiation at every wavelength, so each increase in
temperature raises the curve. The luminosity of the object (the
total amount of light emitted) increases. In fact, it increases quite
fast as the…
