Working It Out 6.2 The Stefan-Boltzmann Law
Account
Look at Figure 6.17, which shows the spectra of a light source at
several different temperatures. This source is assumed to emit
electromagnetic radiation only because of its temperature, not
its composition. This kind of source is called a blackbody, and if
we graph the intensity of its emitted radiation across all wave-
lengths (as in Figure 6.17), we obtain a characteristic curve called
a blackbody spectrum. As the object's temperature increases, it
emits more radiation at every wavelength, so each increase in
temperature raises the curve. The luminosity of the object (the
total amount of light emitted) increases. In fact, it increases quite
fast as the temperature rises. Adding up all the energy in a spec-
trum shows that the increase in luminosity, L, is proportional to
the fourth power of the temperature, T
But if we want to know the total energy radiated every second,
we must multiply by the surface area (A) of Earth. Surface area
is given by 4xR, and the radius of Earth is 6,378,000 meters, or
6.378 x 10° meters. So the luminosity is
L= F.A
Dashboard
L= F.4nR
L= (390 W/m")-(4T-(6.378 x 10" m)7)
L 2 x 1017 W
This means that Earth emits the equivalent of
2,000,000,000,000,000 hundred-watt light bulbs. This is an enor-
mous amount of energy, but not anywhere close to the amount
emitted by the Sun.

This result is known as the Stefan-Boltzmann law because it

was discovered in the laboratory by Austrian physicist Josef Ste-
fan (1835–1893) and derived by his student, Ludwig Boltzmann
(1844-1906).
The amount of energy radiated by each square meter of the
surface of an object each second is called the flux, F. This is pro-
portional to the luminosity, but easier to measure. (Think about
trying to catch all the photons emitted by the Earth in all direc-
tions, versus just the ones from the particular square meter under
your feet. You can find the luminosity from the flux by multiply-
ing by the total surface area.) We can relate the flux to the temper-
ature by using the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, o (the Greek letter
sigma). The value of o is 5.67 x 1o W/(m2K*), where W stands for
watts. Expressing all this in math, we find:
T = 6000 K, peak =0.48 um

Even modest changes in temperature can result in large
changes in the amount of power radiated by an object. If the tem-
perature of an object doubles, the flux increases by a factor of 24,
or 16. If the temperature triples, then the flux goes up by a factor
of 3*, or 81.
