  2. Boltzmann constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_constant

    Although Boltzmann first linked entropy and probability in 1877, the relation was never expressed with a specific constant until Max Planck first introduced k, and gave a more precise value for it (1.346 × 10 −23 J/K, about 2.5% lower than today's figure), in his derivation of the law of black-body radiation in 1900–1901. [11]

  3. Stefan–Boltzmann law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan–Boltzmann_law

    The Stefan–Boltzmann law, also known as Stefan's law, describes the intensity of the thermal radiation emitted by matter in terms of that matter's temperature. It is named for Josef Stefan , who empirically derived the relationship, and Ludwig Boltzmann who derived the law theoretically.

  4. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    These include the Boltzmann constant, which gives the correspondence of the dimension temperature to the dimension of energy per degree of freedom, and the Avogadro constant, which gives the correspondence of the dimension of amount of substance with the dimension of count of entities (the latter formally regarded in the SI as being dimensionless).

  5. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    The law was formulated by Josef Stefan in 1879 and later derived by Ludwig Boltzmann. The formula E = σT 4 is given, where E is the radiant heat emitted from a unit of area per unit time, T is the absolute temperature, and σ = 5.670 367 × 10 −8 W·m −2 ⋅K −4 is the Stefan–Boltzmann constant. [28]

    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–Boltzmann constant

  8. Radiative zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_zone

    where κ(r) is the opacity, ρ(r) is the matter density, L(r) is the luminosity, and σ B is the Stefan–Boltzmann constant. [1] Hence the opacity (κ) and radiation flux (L) within a given layer of a star are important factors in determining how effective radiative diffusion is at transporting energy. A high opacity or high luminosity can ...

  9. Einstein coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_coefficients

    From Boltzmann distribution we have for the number of excited atomic species i: = /, where n is the total number density of the atomic species, excited and unexcited, k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature, is the degeneracy (also called the multiplicity) of state i, and Z is the partition function.
