Question

Using this equation for Wien’s Law (λ = 2898/T), the wavelength most emitted by the Sun (T = 6000K) is approximately: a. 48.3 µm b. 483 µm c. 0.48 µm

Answer 1

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

By Wien’s Law we have

`\lambda =(2898)/(T)`

where λ is in μm and T is in K

Given that

T = 6000 K

Substituting

`\lambda =(2898)/(6000)=0.483\mu m`

Option C is the correct answer.
