AIM: To determine the Stefan Boltzmann constant for the given material.
INTRODUCTION:
The most commonly used law of thermal radiation is the Stefan Boltzmanns law
which states that thermal radiation ( heat flux) or emissive power of black
surface is directly proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature of
the surface and given by

DISCRIPTION :
The apparatus consists of flanged copper hemisphere (B) fixed on a flat nonconducting plate A. The outer surface of (B) is enclosed in a metal water jacket
used to heat B to some suitable constant temperature. The hemispherical shape
B is chosen solely on the grounds that it simplifies the task of drawing the water
between B & C.

5. Allow it for steady state.
6. Note down the thermocouple readings T1, T2, T3 and T4, T5.
7. Insert the disc and immediately note down the temperature T6 at every
five seconds interval from zero seconds.
8. Draw the graph of temperature Vs time and calculate dT/dt.
