Solved: According to Wiens law, the wavelength of maximum

Chapter 7, Problem 7.156

(choose chapter or problem)

According to Wiens law, the wavelength of maximum intensity in blackbody radiation, max, is given by max 5 b T where b is a constant (2.898 3 106 nm ? K) and T is the temperature of the radiating body in kelvins. (a) Estimate the temperature at the surface of the sun. (b) How are astronomers able to determine the temperature of stars in general? (See 7.150 for a definition of blackbody radiation.)
