Abstract
Based on the principle of conservation of energy, a simple analytical expression is presented for the radiative decay time of a nongray medium with arbitrary configurations. It is expressed explicity in terms of the mean beam length and the total band absorptance. In the high-pressure limit, where the decay time based on the harmonic thermal perturbation is available for two configurations, comparison is made with the present decay time. Good agreement is found.
