    The unit of Stefan's constant \[\sigma \] is        [AFMC 1986; MP PET 1992; MP PMT 1992; CBSE PMT 2002]       

    A)       \[W\,{{m}^{-2}}\,{{K}^{-1}}\].

    B)           \[W\,{{m}^{2}}\,{{K}^{-4}}\]

    C)       \[W\,{{m}^{-2}}\,{{K}^{-4}}\]

    D)     \[W\,{{m}^{-2}}\,{{K}^{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                            Stefan's law is \[E=\sigma ({{T}^{4}})\]Þ \[\sigma =\frac{E}{{{T}^{4}}}\] where,\[E=\] \[\frac{\text{Energy}}{\text{Area}\times \text{Time}}\] \[=\frac{\text{Watt}}{{{m}^{\text{2}}}}\]                                       \[\sigma =\frac{\text{Watt-}{{m}^{-2}}}{{{K}^{4}}}=Watt-{{m}^{-2}}{{K}^{-4}}\]
