Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of radiant energy an object emits is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature (according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law), so if the temperature doubles, the radiant energy increases by 2^4 = 16 times.

If the Temperature of an Object Doubles,the Amount of Radiant
