To find the temperature of the electric heater that emits 1000W of thermal radiation, we can use the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which states that the power emitted by a black body is given by: \[ P = \sigma A T^4 \] Where: - \( P \) is the power emitted (in watts), - \( \sigma \) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (\( 6.0 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{W/m}^2\text{K}^4 \)), - \( A \) is the surface area (in square meters), ...
