Georgia State University: Hyper Physics: Radiation Cooling of Body

Curated by ACT

Discusses the means by which the body regulates its temperature. The role of radiation in this process is explained. An equation for calculating the rate at which energy is transferred by radiation is presented. Also, an interactive JavaScript form is provided that allows the visitor to practice the use of the equation.
