The spectral energy distribution of the ...

The spectral energy distribution of the sun has maxima at 4753 `Å`. Find the temperature of a star for which spectral distribution has maxima at 10350 `Å`. [Temperature of sun is 6000 K]

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the temperature of the star based on the given spectral energy distribution maxima, we can use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the wavelength at which the spectral energy distribution is maximized (λ_max) is inversely proportional to the temperature (T) of the black body. The formula can be expressed as: \[ \lambda_{\text{max}} \propto \frac{1}{T} \] This implies: ...
