Problem

(Blackbody temperature doubling) Answer all parts in order. (i) State the Stefan–Boltzmann law for the total power emitted per unit area of a perfect blackbody. (ii) A blackbody is heated so that its absolute temperature becomes exactly double while its surface characteristics remain unchanged. Without carrying out a numerical calculation, explain qualitatively and quantitatively how its power emission per unit area will change.
