Integrating this expression over all frequencies and solid angles gives an expression for power as proportional to the temperature raised to the fourth, a result known as the Stefan-Boltzmann equation.
Integrating this expression over all frequencies and solid angles gives an expression for power as proportional to the temperature raised to the fourth, a result known as the Stefan-Boltzmann equation. This equation can be derived by assuming the quantization of photon energy and it reproduces both the Rayleigh-Jeans low-frequency limit and the Wien high frequency limit. For 10 points, identify this law that gives the energy distribution of radiation from a perfect blackbody and was named for a German physicist whose namesake constant figures prominently in it.
