AI Generated Solution

To find the ratio of the temperatures of two stars that radiate maximum energy at different wavelengths, we can use Wien's displacement law. This law states that the temperature of a black body is inversely proportional to the wavelength at which it emits its maximum radiation. ### Step-by-step solution: 1. **Identify the wavelengths**: - For the first star, the wavelength (λ₁) is given as \(3.6 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}\). - For the second star, the wavelength (λ₂) is given as \(4.8 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}\). ...
