[QUOTE="EspressoDan, post: 5819082, member: 624033"] Hello, I have a short question: In relation to the Sun - is Black-body radiation ultimately the result of a combination of spontaneous (majority) and stimulated (minority) emission of photons? In relation to the IR emissions from everyday objects due to their temperature - is Black-body radiation from the result of spontaneous emission? If not, could somebody point me to a good description of why Blackbody radiation and Spontaneous emission are ultimately different? The internet is confused on the issue. Thank you for any answers.
