    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Physical_constants

    It gives the most recent values published, and will be updated when newer values become available, which is typically every four years. The values have been updated to the CODATA 2022 values. This includes the 2019 revision of the SI , which made the values of several constants exact (e.g. e ), whereas some previously exactly defined constants ...

    This was the first sensible value for the temperature of the Sun. Before this, values ranging from as low as 1800 °C to as high as 13 000 000 °C [25] were claimed. The lower value of 1800 °C was determined by Claude Pouillet (1790–1868) in 1838 using the Dulong–Petit law.

    Radiation constant may refer to: The first and second radiation constants c 1 and c 2 – see Planck's Law; The radiation density constant a – see Stefan ...

    Thus Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation can be stated: For any material at all, radiating and absorbing in thermodynamic equilibrium at any given temperature T, for every wavelength λ, the ratio of emissive power to absorptive ratio has one universal value, which is characteristic of a perfect black body, and is an emissive power which we ...

  7. Planck constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant

    Planck was able to calculate the value of from experimental data on black-body radiation: his result, 6.55 × 10 −34 J⋅s, is within 1.2% of the currently defined value. [2] He also made the first determination of the Boltzmann constant k B {\displaystyle k_{\text{B}}} from the same data and theory.

  8. Physical constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_constant

    A physical constant, sometimes fundamental physical constant or universal constant, is a physical quantity that cannot be explained by a theory and therefore must be measured experimentally. It is distinct from a mathematical constant , which has a fixed numerical value, but does not directly involve any physical measurement.

  9. Faraday constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_constant

    F = ⁠ N A / 1/e ⁠ = 9.648 533 212 331 001 84 × 10 4 C⋅mol −1. One common use of the Faraday constant is in electrolysis calculations. One can divide the amount of charge (the current integrated over time) by the Faraday constant in order to find the chemical amount of a substance (in moles) that has been electrolyzed.
