(left): Entropy content in radiation.The normalized distributions of energy and entropy are schematically represented for blackbody at 300 K. The entropy content in radiation ratio is not uniform, and it is unity for a certain value between the maxima of both distributions. The entropy content beyond this point is monotonically increasing. (right): Entropic regions and optimal information wavelength boundary. Entropic spectral regions as a function of the wavelength and temperature of the blackbody. As a consequence of the different location of the maxima, the spectra is divided in regions where normalized entropy is below the energy (blue region) or above the energy (white region). The separation of these regions is determined by the function λT = 2.94923 × 10−3 m K (see supplementary material). The region for 5800 K blackbody is zoomed in, corresponding to our Sun.
