Radiance of black body from temperature ======================================= The Stefan—Boltzmann law, also known as Stefan's law, states that the total energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body per unit time is directly proportional to the fourth power of the black body's thermodynamic temperature. **Notation:** #. :math:`\sigma` (:code:`sigma`) is :attr:`~symplyphysics.quantities.stefan_boltzmann_constant`. **Conditions:** #. The body is completely black, i.e. it absorbs all energy. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.thermodynamics.radiance_of_black_body_from_temperature .. py:data:: radiance :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.optics.radiant_exitance` of the body.
