comment Radiated power and energy density for a black-body
I am sorry to bother you again, but in Wikipedia the factor is $c/4\pi$. In fact, the energy density is $(8\pi h\nu^3)/(c^3(e^{\beta h\nu}-1))$, but the "spectral radiation" only $(2 h\nu^3)/(c^2(e^{\beta h\nu}-1))$.Could you please explain to me why there is the extra $\pi$ factor?

Thank you, you were very clear. I did not think of putting it backwards, i.e. calculating the needed surface per unit power instead of the emitted power per unit surface.
