Lambert’s Cosine Law
The radiation power in the direction of the normal vector to the surface dA in a space angle dio (see Fig. 4.31) is
Dcп> = L dA da, (4.210)
|
Where dA cos # is the projection surface of the opening in the direction concerned. Thus the radiation power is distributed to different directions at a ratio of cos This is the cosine law of Lambert. It is valid for a blackbody and approximately valid for insulating materials, but it cannot be used for bright metal surfaces. Substituting in Eq. (4.211) gives
Dio = d<p sini> d"d — dip d(cosft) (4.212)
And integrating for the radiation intensity to the semispace by a blackbody gives
D<t> = Mm dA = 7rLw dA, (4.213)
Where Mm = 7rLm = trT4.
