Homework Statement


Derive Stefan-Boltzmann law from Wien’s law

Hint: you can use (without proof) R(T) = -∞∫∞ R(λ,T)dλ , ρ(λ,T)=(4/c)*R(λ,T)

Homework Equations



wien's law: p(λ,T) = f(λ,T)/^5
Stefan's law : R(T) = σT^4

The Attempt at a Solution


Honestly I am having trouble just starting this problem. I know I would be able to work it out if I knew where to begin.

Well, the first step is: what is the function [itex]f(\lambda,T)[/itex] ?
