The Stefan–Boltzmann law gives how much thermal radiation a hot surface emits.

The math behind it

j = ε·σ·T⁴, where σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/(m²·K⁴) and ε is emissivity (1 for a blackbody).

Worked Example

1000 K blackbody → about 56,700 W/m².

Frequently Asked Questions

Why T⁴?

Radiated power rises with the fourth power of temperature, so hot objects glow intensely.
