AI Generated Solution

To calculate the temperature of the star using Wien's Law, we follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Wien's Law**: Wien's Law states that the wavelength at which the spectral energy distribution of a black body is maximized (λ_max) is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature (T). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \lambda_{\text{max}} \cdot T = b ...
