Radiative Energy Transfer in the Presence of Random Source Distributions

  • Conference paper

  • 260 Accesses

Abstract

Radiative energy transfer is generally treated on the basis of a phenomenological theory[1] that bears no apparent relationship to the theory of the electromagnetic field. In recent years, some progress has been made towards elucidating the foundations of this theory.[2]
