As a wave moves through a medium, particles are displaced and return to their normal position after the wave passes.

Explanation:

A wave is a traveling disturbance that carries energy from one location to another. All waves move in straight lines outward and away from the source of a disturbance. Like the radiating circular ripples, the waves of water carry energy away from where a rock was dropped into the pond.

Waves can move as a single pulse or as a continuous series of waves, carrying energy away from its source. A pulse is a single disturbance, wave, or ripple that moves outward from the point of disturbance. A train of waves are many waves emitted over and over again from a single source.

As waves travel through matter, they will temporarily displace the molecules or particles in matter up-and-down or side-to-side. Waves move the energy but they do not carry the matter with them longitudinally as they move through matter. Once the disturbance passes, the medium will return to its original state or position.

Therefore, as the waves move through a medium, particles are displaced and return to their normal position after the wave passes.

As per Stefan - Boltzmann law we know that

1. Power radiated in the form of electromagnetic energy by an object at nonzero temperature.

2. Every object at absolute (kelvin) temperature t will radiate electromagnetic waves.

3. This radiation is typically in the infrared for objects at room temperature, with some visible light emitted for objects heated above 1000 k.

4. The formula governing the rate of energy radiation from a surface is given by $p=eσat^4$ ,

where p is the thermal power (also known as the heat current h).

Thermal radiation in visible light can be seen on hot metalwork. Its emission in the infrared is invisible to the human eye. Infrared cameras are capable of capturing this infrared emission.

Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter. All matter with a temperature greater than absolute zero emits thermal radiation. Particle motion results in charge-acceleration or dipole oscillation which produce electromagnetic radiation.

Examples of thermal radiation include the visible light and infrared light emitted by an incandescent light bulb, the infrared radiation emitted by animals that is detectable with an infrared camera, and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Thermal radiation is different from thermal convection and thermal conduction—a person near a raging bonfire feels radiant heating from the fire, even if the surrounding air is very cold.

Sunlight is part of thermal radiation generated by the hot plasma of the Sun. The Earth also emits thermal radiation, but at a much lower intensity and different spectral distribution. The Earth's absorption of solar radiation, followed by its outgoing thermal radiation, are the two most important processes that determine the temperature and climate of the Earth in most climate models.

So the correct answer which is applicable here will be

This formula applies to any object of total surface area a, kelvin temperature t, and emissivity e
