i was wondering if there is such a thing as a blackbody absorption spectrum
versus energy absorbed in ratio graph if so where can i find it on the web

any help appreciated

Good question Steve.  Stil as I understand it a black body receptor
absorbs radiation in a rather uniform way, more or less consistent
with that of the black body radiation emitter. I'm quite sure that you
already know that the best radiator is a black body, and equally the
best receptor. I also know that you realize that an ideal black body
receptor intercepts and caputures all of the energy impacting with it,
that is if it an ideal receptor.

The entire concept of a blackbody is that its emission is in
equilibrium with its absorbtion - at all wavelengths.

Find a blackbody emission spectrum (remeber, it is temperature
dependent) and you will find its absorbtion spectrum.

Happy Googling

Emissivity exactly equals absorptivity at any given frequency - First
Law.  The easy demo is a bolted stack of unused, degreased, single
edge razor blades.  The highly polished sharp sides are eye-sucking
black.

    Yes done that.  You don't want to rub your finger across the
front.
     Result is much less black.  A 2cm x 2cm stack clamped to a water
cooled
     copper block can a absorb a 25 watt argon ion laser output no
sweat.   -will-
