This lecture covers the calculation of radiative power emitted by a human body behaving as a blackbody, the characteristic wavelength of emitted radiation, and the impact of ambient air radiation on the emitted power. It also discusses the power required to maintain human metabolism. Through exercises, students learn to apply Stefan-Boltzmann and Wien's laws to determine radiative power and understand the energy balance in human thermoregulation.
