What Equations Calculate Thermal Radiation and Wavelength Peak Intensity?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the power emitted per square meter and the wavelength of peak intensity for a thermal radiation-emitting object with a specified value. The relevant equations mentioned include the Stefan-Boltzmann law for power emission and Wien's displacement law for determining peak wavelength. Participants express confusion about the calculations and seek clarification on the units involved. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these laws in thermal radiation contexts. Overall, the thread aims to clarify the application of these equations in practical scenarios.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
