Spectra of Solar Blackbody

Spectra of Solar Blackbody

The following image is color coded spectra of the white light produced by the sun (without absorption lines).

It is computed and plotted in your browser by a Java program.

Note: This program generates deep 24 bit color plots, therefore you may need to increase the color depth of your system to view subtle details in these spectra.

There may be a small delay as each Applet computes the spectra...
