At what wavelength would a star radiate the greatest amount of energy if the star has a surface temperature of 60,000 K?

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

We have,

The surface temperature of the star is 60,000 K

It is required to find the wavelength of a star that radiated greatest amount of energy. Wein's displacement law gives the relation between wavelength and temperature such that :

[tex]\lambda T=2.89\times 10^{-3}[/tex]

Here,

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}}{60000}\\\\\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m[/tex]

So, the wavelength of the star is [tex]4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m[/tex].
