To solve the problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the wavelength at which the maximum energy is emitted by a black body is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature. The law can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \lambda_m \cdot T = B \] where: - \(\lambda_m\) is the wavelength at which maximum energy is emitted, ...
