Precise measurements of atmospheric Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) were not made until 1888 and 1904. The temperature Stefan obtained was a median value of previous ones, 1950 C and the absolute thermodynamic one 2200 K. As 2.574 43.5, it follows from the law that the temperature of the Sun is 2.57 times greater than the temperature of the lamella, so Stefan got a value of 5430 C or 5700 K (the modern value is 5778 K). This was the first sensible value for the temperature of the Sun. Before this, values ranging from as low as 1800 C to as high as 13,000,000 C were claimed. The lower value of 1800 C was determined by Claude Pouillet (17901868) in 1838 using the DulongPetit law. Pouillet also took just half the value of the Suns correct energy flux.
Answer this question: How many degrees did Stefan's K value vary from the modern value?
78
