What is the wavelength at the peak of a blackbody spectrum if the body is at a temperature of 5,535 K? Answer in nm.
Added by Purificaci-N S.
Step 1
The formula for Wien's Law is: λ_max = b/T where λ_max is the peak wavelength, T is the temperature, and b is Wien's constant, which is approximately 2.898 x 10^-3 m.K. So, if we plug in the given temperature into the formula, we get: λ_max = 2.898 x 10^-3 m.K Show more…
