Question
If the maximum intensity of radiation for a blackbody is found at $2.65 \mu \mathrm{m},$ what is the temperature of the blackbody?
Step 1
65 \mu m$. We also know from Wien's law that the product of the maximum wavelength and the temperature of a blackbody is a constant. This can be written as: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = 2.898 \times 10^{-3} m \cdot K \] Show more…
