AIM: To verify Stefan’s law by electric method

For black bodies we know that the Stefan’s law is
e=a(Ts-Tt) -
where F is { amouat of radiation emitted per second per unit area by a body at temperature Toad

tungsten filament. This is achieved by measuring the resistance of filament, R,, and then using the

arises in the measurement of Ry (resistance of |

recistance as well as lead resistance. In order to
calculate Ry then we measure the resistance R; at the
stage when the filament first starts glowing and
temperature at this stage is approximately 800K. At
this temperature contribution of lead resistance
becomes smaller by a fector of 4 as computed with
that at273K. i
Therefore, measurement of Ry (=Rawc) and using the computed factor Reoo/Ra73.A more accurate value
of R273(Ro) is obtained. j

1. Make the connection as shown in the figare. In order to connect voltmete across the bulb, the two |
wires are soldcred fo the bas points of the bulb.
2. With different increasing and decreasing values of current, we adjust such thet the buti» xows each

dazzling white light, measuring voltage v a cross bulb every time. From these V and I values, we
deduce power P(=V1) andR, (=V/). From Rrusing the value Ro(orrg/3.9) or Rava, we deduce the
temperature t of the filament, and obtains graph in logP against logT.
