Explain effective surface temperature

Reference no: EM13268472

(a) use the fact that the intergral of [z^3/((e^z)-1)] dz = (pi^4)/15 to show that the total radiant energy emitted per second by unit area of a blackbody is ((2pi^5)*(k^4)*(T^4))/15(c^2)(h^3)

(b) the sun's diameter is 1.4E9m and its effective surface temperature is 5800K. Assume the sun is blackbody and estimate the rate of energy loss by radiation from the sun
