Explanation:
The Stefan-Boltzmann law establishes that a black body (an ideal body that absorbs or emits all the radiation that incides on it) "emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power proportional to the fourth power of its temperature":
(1)
Where:
is the energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second, per unit area (in Watts). Knowing
is the Stefan-Boltzmann's constant.
is the Surface area of the body
is the effective temperature of the body (its surface absolute temperature) in Kelvin.
However, there is no ideal black body (ideal radiator) although the radiation of stars like our Sun is quite close. So, in the case of this body, we will use the Stefan-Boltzmann law for real radiator bodies:
(2)
Where is the body's emissivity
(the value we want to find)
Isolating from (2):
(3)
Solving:
(4)
Finally:
(5) This is the body's emissivity
