What is stefan's constant regarding black hole radiation?
thanks
thanks
Stefan's Constant, also known as the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, is a physical constant that relates the intensity of thermal radiation emitted by a black body to its temperature. It is denoted by the symbol σ and has a value of approximately 5.670374419 x 10^-8 W·m^-2·K^-4.
Ludwig Boltzmann and Josef Stefan were two physicists who independently derived the relationship between a black body's radiation intensity and its temperature. However, Stefan's contribution to this discovery was more significant, and hence the constant was named after him.
Stefan's Constant is used in various scientific calculations related to thermal radiation, such as determining the energy output of stars and planets, calculating the radiation emitted by objects in space, and studying the properties of black holes. It is also used in thermodynamics and astrophysics to make predictions and solve problems.
No, Stefan's Constant is considered a fundamental constant of nature and is believed to remain constant over time. It is a universal constant that does not depend on any external factors and has been experimentally verified to have a consistent value.
The first measurement of Stefan's Constant was made by Josef Stefan in 1879 using a thermopile, a device that measures heat radiation. He conducted experiments on different types of black bodies, including a platinum filament and a graphite cylinder, and found that their radiation intensity was proportional to the fourth power of their temperature. This led to the discovery of Stefan's Constant.
