What is Radiant Energy?

Radiant energy is the energy emitted by a body in the form of electromagnetic radiation due to its temperature. This energy is calculated using Stefan's constant and the absolute temperature of the body raised to the power of four. It is a crucial concept in thermodynamics and helps in understanding the radiation emitted by objects at different temperatures.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{RE} = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 300^4 = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 8100000000 = 459.27 \text{ Joules} \]

The Radiant Energy is 459.27 Joules.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{RE} = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 500^4 = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 625000000 = 35437.5 \text{ Joules} \]

The Radiant Energy is 35437.5 Joules.
