| Stefan-Boltzmann constant | 0.000040 × 10-8 W m-2 K-4 | A constant relating the energy radiated by a black body to its absolute temperature and incorporated in the Stefan-Boltzmann radiation law which states that the energy radiated per unit time is given by σ(T4 - T40), where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T and T0 are the absolute temperatures of the body and its surroundings expressed in kelvins. | ![]()  | 5.670400 × 10-8 W m-2 K-4 | σ | physico chemical constant |
