Stefan-Boltzmann law which describes the radiation heat transfer states that, it is proportional to (where, t = temperature in °C T = absolute temperature in ° K) ?

Correct answer: B. T4

  • A. t4
  • B. T4
  • C. 1/t4
  • D. 1/T4

Explanation

The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that blackbody emissive power is proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature, T⁴. Celsius temperature cannot be used because the radiation relation requires a Kelvin scale measured from absolute zero.
