If the wavelength corresponding to maximum energy radiated from the moon is 14 micron, and wien's constant is `2.8xx10^(-3)mK`, then temperature of moon is

A

100 K

B

200 K

C

2000 K

D

400 K

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`lamdaT=b`
`T=(2.8x10^(-3))/(14xx10^(-6))=0.2xx10^(3)=200K`
