Lec 3 - Blackbody Radiation & Quantum Mechanics

Lec 3 - Blackbody Radiation & Quantum Mechanics. PHSC 13400: Global Warming David Archer, Professor in Geophysical Sciences "Blackbody Radiation & Quantum Mechanics" October 5, 2009 . This 10-week course for non-science majors focuses on a single problem: assessing the risk of human-caused climate change. The story ranges from physics to chemistry, biology, geology, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics, to economics and social sciences. The class will consider evidence from the distant past and projections into the distant future, keeping the human time scale of the next several centuries as the bottom line. The lectures follow a textbook, "Global Warming, Understanding the Forecast," written for the course.
