I've been told that the Stefan-Boltzmann is all anyone needs to know about climate change. This is it or so I am told (double entendre);
The value of the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is approximately 5.67 x 10^-8 watt per meter squared per kelvin to the fourth (W · m^-2 · K^-4 ).
What it's supporters ignore is the Boltzmann Constant. After all since they are applying the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant to the emissivity of our planet they are then applying it to atmospheric gases. And this means they are treating our atmosphere as a black body that has minimal density.

R ( gas constant )
k = ----
Na ( Avogadro constant )

Myself I do think that our climate (atmospheric gases and how solar radiation or other physical phenomena effects it) can be factored.It is known that pressure changes heat but that a change in it's composition can change radiative forcing as well. And since the Boltzmann Constant is based on an ideal gas it does not take into consideration that gases will be effected differently by the same amount of solar radiation or a change in temperature in Kelvins.
This is because angular momentum will not show as an increase in linear momentum of which is a primary consideration in the Boltzmann Constant while Angular Momentum is not considered at all.
But as Neil deGrasse Tyson said in his video, a scientist's work should be improved upon or expanded because that is the nature of science.
As for myself,I have no need to debate science with people who do not have the time to consider how it is applied. They know who they are because they say I am wrong in trying to understand climate change. It is changing,it's the why it's changing that isn't very well understood in my opinion.

The S-B constant is a universal constant of nature. It converts the equation to our units of measurement. It never changes unless you change our units of measurement.

The emissivity constant is a measured value. Gases have an emissivity just as any mass does. It does not matter the state of matter.

For the purposes of Stefan-Boltzmann, the entire Earth is considered. That includes the atmosphere.

For the purposes of global warming, if does not define whether the entire Earth is considered, just the surface, just the atmosphere, whether the oceans are included, how deep that goes, whether anything underground is considered, or how deep, and the starting and ending points of the so-called measurement.

Fortunately, Kirchoff's laws helps us here. If you assume 'global warming' only concerns the surface (including land and ocean surface) then you can assume the use of Stefan-Boltzmann to determine behavior can be the same also. If you consider the same nodes of energy flow in both cases, you have a similar comparison.

If 'global warming' involves the atmosphere also, then the Stefan-Boltzmann law also applies to the atmosphere.

We don't know the emissivity of the surface, the atmosphere, or of the Earth. We have no way to measure it.

If temperature increases, then radiance must increase also. The 'greenhouse effect' limits the outflow of infrared light (by 'trapping' it somehow). This means a reduced radiance. This effect is then used to produce an increase in temperature, in violation of the Stefan-Boltzmann law. This is true whether you consider only the surface, the surface plus atmosphere, or the Earth as a whole.

Since the Stefan-Boltzmann law has never been falsified, it is a scientific theory. Since it has been formalized into:
radiance = S-B constant * emissivity * temperature ^ 4,
it can be used to predict the radiance for a given temperature and emissivity.

If you check my first post the Stefan-Boltzmann constant has specific relationships which are not the same in those materials. You never took the time to learn about the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant. It seems that you only learned it's basic relationship and not how it's factored.

Why are you arguing about the Stefan-Boltzmann equation and how it pertains to the Earth? Why do you not understand how it works for grey bodies and how that is different from black bodies?

The fact is that while you both make correct points you are both incorrect in your understanding of the equation. The Earth absorbs energy during the daylight hours and emits energy 24 hours a day. This means that there is a distinct cooling for 12 hours or so per day which changes the frequency of the radiation from the Earth's mass.

If as you say, you understand the S-B equation you would know why this occurs and that it isn't "the same for all materials".

Undefined. Parts of the surface are changing in temperature (either up or down). The temperature of the Earth's mass does not change at all in this case, assuming the Sun remains at constant output and distance.

Planck radiance does not have 'a' frequency. It is a band of frequencies. The peak frequency of that band will shift with temperature according to Wiens' law.

1. The term (E) emissivity in fact is in the Stefan-Boltzmann equation BECAUSE all materials are different. All combinations of materials are different.

2. You continue to prove that you don't understand the Stefan-Boltzmann equation while telling us that we don't know it and that Wikipedia doesn't know it and that the Science Dictionary doesn't know it. I must say that your ego certainly knows no bounds.

3. Exactly WHY are you first saying that the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is the same for all materials and then telling US that we're removing the emissivity term?

4. Why are you saying that Planck's constant doesn't have a frequency when THAT IS WHAT IT DESCRIBES??? E=hf - exactly WHAT do you think "f" means?

5. Then you tell us again that the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is color blind when in fact color is what it describes.

Emissivity is a measured value. It is a constant. You must know the temperature of the surface being measured to measure it.

You are free to look up the Stefan-Boltzmann equation anytime you want to.

I'll make it easier for you:

radiance = S-B constant * emissivity * temperature ^ 4

Wake wrote:

Color is not what the S-B law describes. There is no term for frequency anywhere in the equation. The S-B is the combined radiance of all frequencies. The emissivity is the combined emissivity over all frequencies.

emissivity is not a constant. If you consider the Boltzmann Constant then you are refering to an ideal gas. There are gases that clearly violate Boltzmann's constant yet no one says his work has been falsified.
And as Al Gore said, this is a debate. It should be a discussion but it's not. You yourself treat this as a debate. And as for me, I do have specific work that I am pursuing. If successful I will be saying more research is needed.

The S-B constant doesn't consider the state of matter. It works for 'ideal' gases just it does for any material or state of matter.

None violate Boltzmann's constant, since that constant does not even apply to a material at all.

Radiance is not frequency. It is power...specifically the power emitted in all frequencies combined. You don't measure a 100w light bulb by frequency.

I could explain to you what the Stefan-Boltzmann as well as Planck's Constants are referring to but have no need to debate science. With you, you don't seem to grasp how principals in physics are used.

@Wake,
If all the frequencies of Planck's Constant are calculated as a single emission from a black body then that is Boltzmann's Constant. Everyone knows and I hope you do as well that with black body radiation that more than one frequency is emitted.

In the U.S. it's 60 Hz and in Europe it's 50 Hz. Also most of Central and South America might be 50 Hz as well. This is how power is calculated.

The electric power P is equal to the energy consumption E divided by the consumption time t:
------E
P = ---
------t

P is the electric power in watt (W).
E is the energy consumption in joule (J).
t is the time in seconds (s).

simplified, 1 joule for 1 second equals 1 watt of power. A 100 watt light bulb consumes 100 joules of energy for every 1 second that it is on.

And to get Hz the generator rotates at a specific rpm. An example is 60 Hz A.C. has a generator rotating at 3,600 rpm. Then converters are used to determine line voltage and amperage.
Maybe you could rephrase your statement ? I don't get it myself.
You see, by combining all of the frequencies a light bulb emits then it can be calculated as the Boltzmann Constant because the filament could be consider a black body. It does radiate energy, right ?

No. It is the radiance that comes as a result of the S-B equation. It is not the constant itself.

Gray, actually. There is no such thing as an ideally black body. That does not exist in nature. It is a reference point only, just as an ideally white body is one. Natural bodies are all gray.
James_ wrote:

Yes. It radiates electromagnetic energy according to the Stefan-Boltzmann and Wien's laws. It also emits thermal energy according to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

The bulb is hot. It heats the surrounding air because the surrounding air is cooler. This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Entropy is increasing.

The bulb is producing a visible light (a yellow-white). This is according to results of Wien's law.

The bulb is putting out electromagnetic radiance on a wide band of frequencies (it's bright...not only on the visible wavelengths, but on others as well). The power of that energy is described according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

I suspect you may be confusing the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which simply tells you how much power is radiated as a function of temperature, with Planck's law, which gives the frequency distribution of the radiation emitted as a function of temperature.

Radiance is not frequency. It is power...specifically the power emitted in all frequencies combined. You don't measure a 100w light bulb by frequency.


By knowing irradiance and total area you know the temperature and therefore the frequency. You know - that silly transposition of terms in a math problem?

I suspect you may be confusing the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which simply tells you how much power is radiated as a function of temperature, with Planck's law, which gives the frequency distribution of the radiation emitted as a function of temperature.


There you go again with your high school chemistry.

The radiation laws are usually considered to be a field of physics.

I simply have a problem with someone talking about the Stefan-Boltzmann equation and then acting as if Plank's Constant is something else when it is the basis upon what the S-B is founded. The S-B constant is calculated from the Plank Constant.

Exactly how much do you have to know that given the irradiance and the specific emissivity constant of a specific material you can calculate the exact temperature and hence the exact wavelength?

Instead the dead-head thinks that the emissivity constant is the same for all materials??? He is even unaware that the original Stefan-Boltzmann equation was modified to account for the fact that there are no true blackbodies by adding emissivity constant which is only a constant for a specific case.

It's like talking to a robot. He hasn't the ability for rational thought.

No, you don't. It is not possible to determine the temperature knowing the radiance. This is because the light from an object doesn't all come from the temperature of an object. It is impossible to determine which is which if you don't know the temperature in the first place (which is why emissivity is a measured value).

Frequency is still not a factor.

Planck's law gives you the energy emitted at a single given frequency and a known temperature. Both Wien's law and Planck's law are over the domain of the substance emitting.
The Stefan-Boltzmann law doesn't care about the substance domain.

No, I'm not. Wien's (displacement) law gives you the frequency of peak emission as a function of temperature. Planck's law does indeed give you the frequency of distribution of radiation emitted as a function of temperature, or if you prefer, the spectral density of the emitted radiation. That is the same as saying that it gives the radiance as a function of temperature and frequency (or wavelength).

You must iterate the equation over each frequency to produce a plot.

It's just a different way of saying the same thing. Just as you can say, for example, that Ohm's law gives you the current through a resistor for a particular voltage, or that Ohm's law gives you the current characteristic for a resistor.

In the case of Planck's law, it makes more sense to describe it as giving the frequency distribution of radiation emitted as a function of temperature because you typically have an object at a particular temperature emitting radiation over a range of frequencies. You specify the temperature and then choose the frequency or frequencies that you are interested in.

It's a piece of steel. With Planck's work he tested his theories by heating a steel bar in a blast furnace. That's what led to his constant.
With steel a particular thought comes to mind, cathodes in a CRT. It's emission into a vacuum can be controlled by using magnetic fields. With an anode the field would have much energy radiated into it. With a cathode the energy has to be pulled from the cathode. This allows it's frequency to be controlled and directed towards a phosphor screen.
Although with the work Boltzmann was involved in it seems better suited to heat exchangers. After all, with the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant a black body first needs to absorb energy before it can emit it, right ? That's what a heat exchanger does. Then with the Boltzmann Constant, the kinetic energy of an ideal gas works in vacuum tubes, CRT tubes, light bulbs etc.
Without commercialization there wouldn't have been much investment in research.

@Into the Night,
My experiment is quite simple but the science behind it might not be. I think a lot of scientists would be upset to find out they missed something significant. And now that climate change is a $ Billion industry, who knows. If it has no practical commercial value then outside of improving the understanding of how our atmosphere works there might be no money in it.

Most private advances are with the military. There is a law that patents realized from government grants is supposed to be manufactured in the US. That law is not enforced.
I have been told in many physics forums that if my experiment works that it would not be fiscally feasible and because of that would have little value in the scientific community.

It is ironic that we have been making steel and other alloys of iron for a long time without any understanding of it. Alchemy in it's truest sense. Thanks to Max Planck and a few others, we know a lot more about steel now.

Vacuum tubes do not emit steel. The cathode emits electrons. Magnetic fields to not control this emission. Electrostatic fields do that.

Anodes are usually positive. They are attractive to electrons. That's why electrons go to them. If an anode is not positive with respect to the cathode, the electron won't go to it.

No energy is pulled from the cathode. Cathodes are heated. That's why they emit electrons.

Electrons have no frequency.

When the electron strikes a phosphor, it introduces energy into the phosphor. When the electron leaves again (to wander toward the anode), the phosphor loses energy. That loss of energy results in the emission of a photon in the visible range. A photon has a frequency.

No. The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is a constant. It is not the equation. This constant converts the equation into our units of measure.
James_ wrote:

It is not what a heat exchanger does.

A heat exchanger allows a hot fluid and a cold fluid to exchange thermal energy (which has no frequency) so they are close to the same temperature (near the average of the two temperatures), when they leave the heat exchanger.

A heat exchanger is the 2nd law of thermodynamics across a well coupled system.

Science is simple. Think up a theory, then arrange to test it to see if its wrong. See if it conflicts with any other theory of science. If it does, one or both theories must be destroyed. If the theory survives, tell the world. Tell it your theory and how you tested it.

I simply have a problem with someone talking about the Stefan-Boltzmann equation and then acting as if Plank's Constant is something else when it is the basis upon what the S-B is founded. The S-B constant is calculated from the Plank Constant.

Exactly how much do you have to know that given the irradiance and the specific emissivity constant of a specific material you can calculate the exact temperature and hence the exact wavelength?

Instead the dead-head thinks that the emissivity constant is the same for all materials??? He is even unaware that the original Stefan-Boltzmann equation was modified to account for the fact that there are no true blackbodies by adding emissivity constant which is only a constant for a specific case.

It's like talking to a robot. He hasn't the ability for rational thought.


It's when they go into vague universal concepts that bothers me. It's like an escape mechanism. What everyone seems to be missing on is why Stefan-Boltzmann and the Boltzmann Constants mattered. Nothing personal but it seems that nobody knows what black body they are talking about.
It's a piece of steel. With Planck's work he tested his theories by heating a steel bar in a blast furnace. That's what led to his constant.
With steel a particular thought comes to mind, cathodes in a CRT. It's emission into a vacuum can be controlled by using magnetic fields. With an anode the field would have much energy radiated into it. With a cathode the energy has to be pulled from the cathode. This allows it's frequency to be controlled and directed towards a phosphor screen.
Although with the work Boltzmann was involved in it seems better suited to heat exchangers. After all, with the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant a black body first needs to absorb energy before it can emit it, right ? That's what a heat exchanger does. Then with the Boltzmann Constant, the kinetic energy of an ideal gas works in vacuum tubes, CRT tubes, light bulbs etc.
Without commercialization there wouldn't have been much investment in research.

@Into the Night,
My experiment is quite simple but the science behind it might not be. I think a lot of scientists would be upset to find out they missed something significant. And now that climate change is a $ Billion industry, who knows. If it has no practical commercial value then outside of improving the understanding of how our atmosphere works there might be no money in it.


The evil four here that are arguing things they don't understand, somehow believe that scientific advances always came as they do now - through government funded research projects with no practical direction. In such cases you can make any stupid statements you like without getting fired.

Government funded research has a practical direction: to push forward the government agenda.

Private researches are paid to help their employer make money.

This can be research into new ways to use oil, more efficient ways to burn gasoline, new plastics, develop instrumentation, finding new resources, creating healthier forests, feed more people with the same acreage and water use, develop new and safer ways to control pests, improve reactor safety, and on...and on...and on.

Most private advances are with the military.

Most private advances are in industry, not the military. While a fair bit of military research is private, the bulk of it is government. Private research develops a new explosive material, but government research develops that in to a weapon.

There is a law that patents realized from government grants is supposed to be manufactured in the US. That law is not enforced.
That law also specifies that all military suppliers must be of U.S. manufacture. The reason it's not enforced is because we have no electronics industry in the United States. Resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, and most chips must be imported. All displays must be imported. All solar cells are imported. Heck...the U.S. is having trouble making copper wire. Most lithography and assembly is done offshore.

I have been told in many physics forums that if my experiment works that it would not be fiscally feasible and because of that would have little value in the scientific community.

Irrelevant factor. I'm sure that somewhere you can find somebody somewhere to buy a few weather balloons and materials to construct an instrument package.
