Hello, This is a follow-up question for part b.     For part "b", I supposed that the wavelength of maximum intensity for the following elements is: 1) Sun: 0.500µm 2) Light bulb: 0.966µm  3) Earth: 9.659µm Please note that these measurements are merely hypothetical and are not the actual wavelength radiations.  These are just random numbers.    Can you help me understand the formula for part "c" so that I can implement the answers from part "b" and figure out the temperatures of the sun, light bulb, and the Earth?   Thank you, -Fredrick Beckmann

Hello,

This is a follow-up question for part b.  

 

For part "b", I supposed that the wavelength of maximum intensity for the following elements is:

1) Sun: 0.500µm

2) Light bulb: 0.966µm 

3) Earth: 9.659µm

Please note that these measurements are merely hypothetical and are not the actual wavelength radiations.  These are just random numbers. 

 

Can you help me understand the formula for part "c" so that I can implement the answers from part "b" and figure out the temperatures of the sun, light bulb, and the Earth?

 

Thank you,

(c) Wien's Law gives a relationship between the wavelength of maximum intensity and the temperature of the black body: Amar 2898 Kum T where temperature is measured in Kelvin (K). From your answers to part (b), what are the temperatures of the sun, the light bulb, and the Earth? Do these make sense?

(b) What is the wavelength of maximum intensity for the sun? For a light bulb? For Earth? Given what you know about the relationship between photon energy and wavelength, does this make sense?
