Name: 2. (a) Calculate the surface temperature T of the sun (in K) by assuming that it is a spherical black body with a radius of 7 × 10^8m. The intensity of the solar radiation at the surface of the Earth is 1.4 × 10^3 Wm^-2 and the distance between the Sun and the Earth 1.5 × 10^11 m. (b) Using the value of T obtained in (a), determine the wavelength ?max at which the spectral emittance R(?,T) of the Sun (considered as a perfect black body) has its maximum value.
