CONCEPT:

  • Stefan's Law: According to it the radiant energy emitted by a perfectly black body per unit area per sec (i.e. emissive power of black body) is directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature i.e.
    E ∝ T4
    ⇒ E = σT4
    Where, is a constant called Stefan’s constant.
  • The value of Stefan's constant is 5.67 × 10-8 W/m2K4.


EXPLANATION:

  • From above it clear that the amount of radiation emitted by a perfectly black body is proportional to the fourth power of temperature on an ideal gas scale. Thus, option 3 is correct.
