Summary

DescriptionBlack body visible spectrum.gif	The black-body radiation curves for the visible spectrum. Vertical axes of Planck's law plots building this animation were proportionally transformed to keep equal areas between functions and horizontal axis for wavelengths (λ) 380-780 nm. Built with Graph, GIF Movie Gear 4.0 and Adobe Photoshop Elements. Hexadecimal values of colors for the color plate were taken from Mitchell Charity webpage.
