Through a bit calculation we can derive that in a cavity, the energy density u(f,T)=¯E(f)×G(f)=8πhc3f3ehν/kT−1 If we take the integral over all frequency, we get U(T)=\frac{8πh}{c^3}\frac{(kT)^4}{h^3}{\frac{π^4}{15}}=C_{onst}T^4 And Stefan-Boltzmann Law claims that for a perfect black-body j^*=\sigma T^4 where j^* is the radiant exitance, which is defined as the total energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body across all wavelengths per unit time.
And it just so happens that \frac{\sigma}{C_{onst}}=\frac{c}{4}, why is that?
P.S. The professor told me to refer to some thermodynamics book, where a more general case is discussed. But we don't have that book in our library and the professor's now out of town xD.
