    Stefan-Boltzmann Law: E S T

    Uploaded by

    Vijay Kumar
    The Planck Radiation Law governs the intensity of blackbody radiation emitted at different wavelengths for a given temperature, represented by curves where intensity increases with temperature. The Wien and Stefan-Boltzmann Laws can be derived from the Planck Law: the Wien Law gives the peak wavelength which shifts to shorter wavelengths as temperature increases, and the Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the total energy emitted, which grows rapidly with temperature.

    Planck Radiation Law

    The primary law governing blackbody radiation is the Planck Radiation Law,
    which governs the intensity of radiation emitted by unit surface area into a fixed
    direction from the blackbody as a function of wavelength for a fixed
    temperature. The Planck law is represented by the shape of curves in the figure
    to the right. The mathematical function describing the shape is called the Planck
    function. NOTE THAT BLACKBODY RADIATION HAS EMISSION AT AT
    ALL WAVELENGTHS. THIS MEANS THAT IT IS "CONTINUUM
    EMISSION."

    The Wien and Stefan-Boltzmann Laws


    The behavior of blackbody radiation is described by the Planck Law, but we can
    derive from the Planck Law two other radiation laws that are very useful. The
    Wien Displacement Law, and the Stefan-Boltzmann Law are illustrated in the
    following equations.

    Stefan-Boltzmann Law:
    E= s T4
    where s= 5.67 x 10-8 Joule/ (m2sec K4)

    Wien Law:
    wavelength of peak (in Angstroms)= 3 x 107/T
    The Wien Law gives the wavelength of the peak of the radiation distribution,
    while the Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the total energy being emitted at all
    wavelengths by the blackbody (which is the area under the Planck Law curve).
    Thus, the Wien Law explains the shift of the peak to shorter wavelengths as the
    temperature increases, while the Stefan-Boltzmann Law explains the growth in
    the height of the curve as the temperature increases. Notice that this growth is
    very abrupt, since it varies as the fourth power of the temperature.
