(N/A) The value of the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $5.67 \times 10^{-8} \text{ W m}^{-2} \text{ K}^{-4}$.
The dimensional formula is derived from the Stefan-Boltzmann law $E = \sigma T^4$,where $E$ is the power per unit area $([M^1 T^{-3}])$ and $T$ is temperature $([K^1])$.
Thus,the dimensions of $\sigma$ are $[M^1 L^0 T^{-3} K^{-4}]$.
