Problem

A handbook lists the Stefan–Boltzmann constant as 5.67×10−5 erg cm−2 s−1 K−45.67\times10^{-5}\,\text{erg cm}^{-2}\,\text{s}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-4}. What is the same value expressed in SI units? (a) 5.67×10−6 W m−2 K−45.67\times10^{-6}\,\text{W m}^{-2}\,\text{K}^{-4} (b) 5.67×10−8 W m−2 K−45.67\times10^{-8}\,\text{W m}^{-2}\,\text{K}^{-4} (c) 1.42×10−8 W m−2 K−41.42\times10^{-8}\,\text{W m}^{-2}\,\text{K}^{-4} (d) 5.67×10−7 W m−2 K−45.67\times10^{-7}\,\text{W m}^{-2}\,\text{K}^{-4}
