(N/A) The value of the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $5.67 \times 10^{-8} \text{ W m}^{-2} \text{ K}^{-4}$.
The dimensional formula is derived from the Stefan-Boltzmann law $E = \sigma T^4$,where $E$ is the power per unit area $([M^1 T^{-3}])$ and $T$ is temperature $([K^1])$.
Thus,the dimensions of $\sigma$ are $[M^1 L^0 T^{-3} K^{-4}]$.

$A$ sphere at temperature $600\,K$ is placed in an environment of temperature $200\,K$. Its cooling rate is $H$. If its temperature is reduced to $400\,K$,then the cooling rate in the same environment will become:

$A$ metal is heated in a furnace where a sensor is kept above the metal surface to read the power radiated $(P)$ by the metal. The sensor has a scale that displays $\log_{2}(P / P_0)$,where $P_0$ is a constant. When the metal surface is at a temperature of $487^{\circ} C$,the sensor shows a value of $1$. Assume that the emissivity of the metallic surface remains constant. What is the value displayed by the sensor when the temperature of the metal surface is raised to $2767^{\circ} C$?
