According to Stefan's law, the total radiation from a black body per second per unit area is proportional to

A. Absolute temperature

B. T2

C. T5

D. T4

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is Option D: T 4

Explanation: According to Stefan's law, also known as the Stefan-Boltzmann law, the total radiation emitted from a black body per second per unit area is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature (T). Mathematically, this is expressed as E∝T 4, where E is the emissive power and T is the absolute temperature. Therefore, the correct exponent is 4, not any other value.
