The radiation emitted by the surface of ...

The radiation emitted by the surface of the Sun emits maximum power at a wavelength of about 500 nm. Assuming the Sun to be a blackbody emitter. If its surface temperature (K) is given by `alpha . Beta xx10^(gamma)` then fill the value of `(alpha+beta+gamma)`. (Wien's constant is given by 2.898mm K)

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the product of the wavelength at which the emission of a black body spectrum is maximized (λ_max) and the absolute temperature (T) of the black body is a constant (b). The formula is given by: \[ \lambda_{\text{max}} \cdot T = b \] Where: - \( \lambda_{\text{max}} \) is the wavelength in mm, - \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin, - \( b \) is Wien's constant, approximately \( 2.898 \, \text{mm K} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Wavelength to mm**: The given wavelength \( \lambda_{\text{max}} \) is 500 nm. We need to convert this to mm: \[ \lambda_{\text{max}} = 500 \, \text{nm} = 500 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m} = 500 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{mm} = 5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mm} \] 2. **Apply Wien's Law**: Using Wien's Law: \[ T = \frac{b}{\lambda_{\text{max}}} \] Substitute the values: \[ T = \frac{2.898 \, \text{mm K}}{5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mm}} \] 3. **Calculate Temperature**: Performing the division: \[ T = \frac{2.898}{5 \times 10^{-4}} = 5796 \, \text{K} \] 4. **Express Temperature in Required Format**: The temperature can be expressed in the form \( \alpha \cdot \beta \times 10^{\gamma} \): \[ T = 5.796 \times 10^{3} \, \text{K} \] Here, we identify: - \( \alpha = 5 \) - \( \beta = 8 \) - \( \gamma = 3 \) 5. **Calculate \( \alpha + \beta + \gamma \)**: \[ \alpha + \beta + \gamma = 5 + 8 + 3 = 16 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( \alpha + \beta + \gamma \) is \( 16 \). ---
