Planck'law and stefan-Boltzmann law relation

In a forum I found that the relation between the Stefan-Boltzmann law and the Planck law in the black body cavity hole is:
$B=T^{4}\sigma =\int _{\lambda =0}^{\infty }\pi B_{\lambda (\lambda ,T)}d\lambda$
Is that true, or is there a different equation ?

See Stefan–Boltzmann_law#Derivation_from_Planck's_law, where the integral is written in terms of frequency rather than wavelength. --Wrongfilter (talk) 13:52, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the link, I understand better. Malypaet (talk) 09:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Organic Nomenclature

I've been unable to find the name of the CH2= group, I suspect it might be methenyl. So what would be the preferred IUPAC name for 2-ethylbut-1-ene. Taabibtaza (talk) 14:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I'm not a chemist, but AIUI IUPAC rule P2 gives methylidene for CH₂=, so I'd suggest 3-methylidene pentane for CH₃.CH₂.C(:CH₂).CH₂.CH₃ which is what I think you're after for CH₂:C(C₂H₅).CH₂.CH₃ HTH, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 15:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

@Taabibtaza IUPAC naming conventions are a minefield. For this sort of question, I'd use Chemspider and look at the various possibilities. See this entry for 2-ethyl-1-butene which they say is alternatively called 3-methylenepentane. IUPAC wouldn't use methylidene in the case of simple alkenes where the double bond is the only functional group. Mike Turnbull (talk) 17:13, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
