The Stefan-Boltzmann law


E=σT^4 (4.16)

If a blackbody at absolute temperatureTbe surrounded by another blackbody at
absolute temperatureT 0 , the amount of energyElost per second per square metre
of the former is


E=σ(T^4 −T 04 ) (4.17)

whereσ= 5. 67 × 10 −^8 W/m^2 .K^4 is known as Stefan-Boltzmann constant.
