To solve the problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the wavelength of maximum energy distribution (\( \lambda_{max} \)) is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature (T) of the black body. The relationship can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] where \( b \) is Wien's displacement constant. ...
