(Heat transfer) The energy radiated from the surface of the sun or a planet in the solar system can be calculated by using Stefan-Boltzmann’s Law:
E = σ × T4
E is the energy radiated.
σ is Stefan-Boltzmann’s constant (5.6697 × 10-8 watts/m2K4).
T is the surface temperature in degrees Kelvin (°K = °C + 273).
a. Determine the units of E by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula.
b. Determine the energy radiated from the sun’s surface, given that the sun’s average temperature is approximately 6000°K.
