Abstract
Information theory yields different predictions for the radiation inte nsity of nonequilibrium radiative systems, depending on what quantity one identifies with the temperature. A possible experiment is proposed that may, in principle, be used in order to determine whether the gen eralized temperature of extended irreversible thermodynamics is the me asurable temperature in nonequilibrium radiative systems or not.
