One particular super red giant star has a surface temperature of 2,822 K. What is the wavelength (in nm) of the spectral maximum in the emission of light by this star?

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]1027nm[/tex]

Explanation:

Using Weins displacement law:

[tex]\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}[/tex]

where [tex]\lambda_{max}[/tex] = wavelength

b = constant =[tex]2898\micro mK[/tex]

T = Temperature in Kelvin = 2822 K

Putting the values we get:

[tex]\lambda _{max}=\frac{2898\micro mK}{2822K}=1.027\micro m[/tex]

[tex]1\micro m=10^3nm[/tex]

[tex]1.027\micro m=\frac{10^3}{1}\times 1.027=1.027\times 10^3nm[/tex]

Thus wavelength of the spectral maximum in the emission of light by this star is [tex]1027nm[/tex]
