The value of Stefan's Boltzmann Constant is:
Correct answer: D. 5.67 x 10^-8 Wm-2K-4
- A. 4.28 x 10^-7 Wm-2K-4
- B. 4.28 x 10^-4 Wm-2K-4
- C. 3.62 x 10^-4 Wm-2K-4
- D. 5.67 x 10^-8 Wm-2K-4
Explanation
Explanation: The value of Stefan's Boltzmann constant is 5.67 × 10-8Wm-2K-4. It relates the total amount of energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body per unit time to its temperature.

About Quantum Theory and Radiation
Quantum theory treats electromagnetic radiation as packets of energy called photons, with energy proportional to frequency through E equals hf. The topic covers Planck's hypothesis, photon momentum, the photoelectric effect, threshold frequency, work function and wave particle duality, distinguishing quantised energy exchange from classical continuous radiation.
