Light from the moon, is found to have a ...

Light from the moon, is found to have a peak (or wevelenght of maximum emission) at `lambda = 14 mu m`. Given that the Wien's constant b equals `2.8988 xx 10^(-3) mK`, estimate the temperature of the moon.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To estimate the temperature of the moon based on the given peak wavelength of light, we can use Wien's displacement law, which states that: \[ \lambda_{\text{max}} \cdot T = b \] where: - \(\lambda_{\text{max}}\) is the peak wavelength, ...
