    The unit of Stefans constant is:

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

    B)  \[\text{Wm }{{\text{K}}^{\text{-4}}}\]

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

    D)  \[\text{M}{{\text{m}}^{\text{-2}}}{{\text{K}}^{\text{-4}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    According to Stefans law, the energy radiated per second or power radiated is given by \[P=\sigma A{{T}^{4}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\sigma \frac{P}{A{{T}^{4}}}\] Therefore, unit of \[\sigma =\frac{W}{{{m}^{2}}{{K}^{4}}}=W{{m}^{-2}}{{K}^{-4}}\]
