"A black body emits radiation at the rate P when its temperature is T. At this temperature the wavelength at which the radiation has a maximum intensity is to. If at another temperature T' the power radiated is P and wavelength at maximum intensity is 1/2 then"

Consider a black body of surface area $20.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$ and temperature $5000 \mathrm{~K}$. (a) How much power does it radiate? (b) At what wavelength does it radiate most intensely? Find the spectral power per wavelength interval at (c) this wavelength and at wavelengths of (d) $1.00 \mathrm{nm}$ (an x- or gamma ray), (c) $5.00 \mathrm{nm}$ (ultraviolet light or an x-ray), (f) $400 \mathrm{nm}$ (at the boundary between UV and visible light), (g) $700 \mathrm{nm}$ (at the boundary between visible and infrared light), (h) $1.00 \mathrm{~mm}$ (infrared light or a microwave), and (i) $10.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ (a microwave or radio wave). (j) Approximately how much power does the object radiate as visible light?
Your body, at a temperature of about $37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(98.6^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)$, emits radiation in the infrared region of the spectrum. a. What is the peak wavelength, in micrometers, of your emitted radiation? b. Assuming an exposed body surface area of $0.25 \mathrm{m}^{2}$, how many watts of power do you radiate?
