VERY IMPORTANT:
make all connections to the lamp when the power is off, and ask the instructor to check your connections before proceeding.
\item Place the thermal sensor at the same height as the filament, with the front face of the sensor approximately 5~cm away from the filament and fix their relative position. Make sure no other objects are viewed by the sensor other than the lamp.

In the lab report plot the reading from the radiation sensor (convert to $W/m^2$) (on the y axis) versus the temperature $T^4$ on the x axis. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the data should show a linear dependence, since according to Eq.(\ref{SBl}) $S\propto T^4$. Fit the experimental data using a linear fit and its uncertainty. For an ideal blackbody we expect the slope to be equal to the Stephen constant $\sigma=5.6703 \times 10^{-8} W/m^2K^4$. However, there exists no ideal black bodies. For real objects the Eq.(\ref{SBl}) is modified, and written as:
