Good evening,
As part of my course, I had this week two lectures about the blackbody radiation and its relation to the stars. While I do understand how to use results such as the Stefan-Boltzmann law and Wien's Law I'm lost in other parts. I think the only parts that I don't understand yet are the intensity, the flux and the luminosity, especially how the expressions for these properties are derived and what's the role of the solid angle in the derivations.
So far I have reread my notes, read the lecture notes from the lecturer and I have been searching for an explanation on different pages without results. I will take "An introduction to modern astrophysics" from the library and I hope I will find what I need there but in case I don't I wanted to ask you if there's any book, web, video... or other sources that can help me.
