A.
Temperature
B.
Thickness
C.
Area
AnswerD.
Time
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Total emissive power refers to the total amount of thermal radiation emitted by a surface (typically a black body) across all wavelengths per unit time and per unit area.This concept is governed by Stefan-Boltzmann law, which states:
E = σT⁴
Where:
E = Total emissive power
σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T = Absolute temperature of the black body
As per the definition, the total emissive power is expressed in units of watts per square meter (W/m²), indicating that it is radiation emitted per unit area.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Area (Option C).
