The unit of Stefan's constant `sigma` is

A

`Wm^(-2)//k`

B

`Wmk^(-4)`

C

`Wm^(-2)//k^(4)`

D

`Mn^(-2)//k^(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

According to Stefan's law, the energy radiated per second or power radiated is given by
`P=sigmaAT^(4)`
`implies sigma=(P)/(AT^(4))`
Therefore, the unit of
`sigma=(W)/(m^(2)K^(4))=Wm^(-2)K^(-4)`
Therefore, the unit of
`sigma=(W)/(m^(2)K^(4))=Wm^(-2)K^(-4)`
