This lecture covers the concepts of absorptivity, transmissivity, reflectivity, and emissivity in the context of radiation metrics and surface properties. It delves into the emission of thermal radiation, discussing spectral and spatial distributions, as well as the interaction of thermal radiation with matter. The lecture also explores the spectral distribution of thermal radiation, black-body radiation functions, and the laws governing the emission and reflection of radiation on different surfaces.
