Radiation constants
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-013468
Physical constants that appear in equations describing the properties of electromagnetic radiation, particularly black-body radiation. These include the first and second radiation constants, which are derived from fundamental constants like the Planck constant and Boltzmann constant. The first radiation constant is 2πhc^2, and the second is hc/k.
