This lecture covers the calculation of radiative power emitted by a human body, assuming it behaves as a black body. The instructor explains the Stefan-Boltzmann law, calculates the radiative power emitted, determines the characteristic length of emitted radiation, and considers the impact of ambient air radiation on the body's radiative power. The lecture concludes with an analysis of the net energy loss and its implications on the body's perception of cold.
