41 - Radiation
Completion requirements
6. Stefan-Boltzmann Law
The radiation energy emitted by a blackbody at any absolute
temperature \(T\), over all wavelengths
per unit unit time per unit area is obtained by integrating the Planck’s
distribution law from \(\lambda=0\) to
\(\lambda=\infty\), and given as \[\boxed{E_b(T) = \sigma T^4 \qquad
\text{W/m$^2$}}\] where
\(T\) | = | temperature in Kelvin |
\(\sigma\) | = | \(5.67\times10^{-8}\) W/(m\(^2\).K\(^4\)), the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. |
