The spectral energy distribution of the ...

The spectral energy distribution of the sun has a maximum at `4754Å`. If the temperature of the sun is 6050 K, what is the temperature of a star for which this maximum is at `9506Å`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `lamda_m=4753Å,T=6050K`
`lamda'_(m) 9506Å`
If `T'` is the temperature of star, then
`lamda_mT=lamda'_m T'` or `T'=(lamda_mT)/(lamda'_m)=(4753xx6050)/(9506)=3025K`
