Abstract
The definitions of both spectral and total radiation intensities are introduced first. Next, the concept of blackbody is discussed and the Planck’s and Stefan-Boltzmann’s laws of radiation are given. The hemispherical blackbody emissive power and the blackbody radiation functions are also developed from the basic concepts.
