- σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, - A is the area of the emitting surface, - e is the emissivity of the material (dimensionless), - T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin. 2. Units of Stefan's Constant: To find the units of the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (σ), we can rearrange...
The Stefan–Boltzmann constant σ has a value of 5.66961 × 10−8 and has the units of watts per square meter kelvin4. At room temperature (approximately 300K), a perfect blackbody (ɛ = 1) of area equal to 1 m2 emits a total power of 460 W. If its surroundings are at the ...
where Mbb is the exitance of (irradiance leaving) the surface in a vacuum, σ is the Stefan–Boltzmann constant (5.67031 × 10−8 W· m−2· K−4), and T is the temperature in degrees kelvin. The units for Mbb in (37) are W · m−2.Using (37), a blackbody at 27 °...
Also known as the Stefan-Boltzmann law is the expression for the emitted power per unit area \({\cal P}(T)= {c \over 4} u(T) \equiv \sigma T^4\) where \(\sigma \) is named the Stefan-Boltzmann constant Maxwell, JC.: A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism. Oxford (1873) Pla...

This post covers some foundations which are often misunderstood. Radiation emitted from a surface (or a gas) can go in all directions and also varies with wavelength, and so we start with a concept called spectral intensity. This value has units of W/m
To find the dimensions of Stefan's constant (σ), we start from Stefan-Boltzmann law, which states:
