Black Body Radiation Calculator
Find the power radiated by a hot object from its temperature and surface area, or the wavelength where its glow peaks in the spectrum.
P = σ × A × T⁴
Radiated power grows with the fourth power of absolute temperature, so a small temperature rise boosts the glow sharply.
