The total emission capacity $ u $ of an absolutely-black body is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature $ T $:

$$ u = \sigma T ^ {4} , $$

where $ \sigma = ( 5.67032 \pm 0.00071) \cdot 10 ^ {-} 1 Bt/m ^ {2} \cdot K ^ {4} $( the Stefan–Boltzmann constant). This law was obtained empirically from analysis of experimental data by J. Stefan (1879), and was proposed in thermodynamic terms by L. Boltzmann (1884).
