Question:

Astronomers infer the radiant exitance (radiant flux emitted per unit area) of stars using the Stefan Boltzmann

Law:

E(T) − (5.67 × 10–8)T4

where E is the energy radiated per unit of surface area measured in watts (W) and T is the absolute temperature measured in kelvins (K).
(a) Graph the function E for temperatures T between 100 K and 300 K.
(b) Use the graph to describe the change in energy E as the temperature T increases.
