The unit of Stefan's constant `sigma` is

A

Watt`m^(-2)K^(-1)`

B

Watt`m^(-2)K^(-4)`

C

N`m^(-2)K^(-4)`

D

Watt`m^(-2)S^(-1)K^(-4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Stefan's Law : `(dQ)/(dt)=sigmaAT^(4)`
`thereforesigma=((dQ)/(dt))/(AT^(4))`
`therefore` Unit of `sigma` is `J//sm^(2)K^(4)orW//m^(2)K^(4)orWm^(-2)K^(-4)`
