What is the Stefan-Boltzman law
The Stefan-Boltzmann law describes how the total energy radiated by a black body is related to its temperature• It states that the total energy emitted per unit surface area of a black body is directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature• The law is expressed mathematically as E = σT^4, where E is the energy radiated, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature. -
What is Plancks law in physics?
Placnk's law of radiation predicts the spectral intensity of electromagnetic radiation at all wavelengths from a black body at temperature T -
What is the temperature of the sun in Kelvin?
6000 kelvin -
What is the temperature of Earth in Kelvin?
288 kelvin -
What is the difference between earth's and solar radiation?
Solar radiation has high energy and is shortwave that easily penetrates the atmosphere
Earth radiation is low-energy and is longwave that is easily absorbed by the atmosphere -
