The energy radiated from a surface Q at absolute temperature T is related as__________________?

Correct answer: B. Q ∝ T4

  • A. Q ∝ T2
  • B. Q ∝ T4
  • C. Q ∝ T3
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that radiation from an ideal surface varies with the fourth power of absolute temperature, Q proportional to T⁴. Absolute temperature must be used, not Celsius temperature.
