The correct Answer is:
To find the temperature of the moon using Wien's Law, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship Wien's Law states that the wavelength corresponding to the maximum energy radiated by a black body is inversely proportional to its temperature. The formula is given by: \[ \lambda_{m} = \frac{b}{T} \] where: - \(\lambda_{m}\) is the wavelength corresponding to maximum energy, - \(b\) is Wien's displacement constant, - \(T\) is the temperature in Kelvin. ### Step 2: Convert the given wavelength The problem states that the wavelength \(\lambda_{m}\) is 14 microns. We need to convert this into meters for consistency with the units of Wien's constant. \[ \lambda_{m} = 14 \text{ microns} = 14 \times 10^{-6} \text{ meters} \] ### Step 3: Identify Wien's constant Wien's constant \(b\) is given as \(2.8 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m K}\). ### Step 4: Rearrange the formula to find temperature From the formula \(\lambda_{m} = \frac{b}{T}\), we can rearrange it to solve for \(T\): \[ T = \frac{b}{\lambda_{m}} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the values into the equation Now we can substitute the values of \(b\) and \(\lambda_{m}\) into the equation: \[ T = \frac{2.8 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m K}}{14 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}} \] ### Step 6: Perform the calculation Calculating the above expression: \[ T = \frac{2.8 \times 10^{-3}}{14 \times 10^{-6}} = \frac{2.8}{14} \times 10^{3} \] Calculating \(\frac{2.8}{14}\): \[ \frac{2.8}{14} = 0.2 \] Thus, \[ T = 0.2 \times 10^{3} = 200 \text{ K} \] ### Conclusion The temperature of the moon is approximately \(200 \text{ K}\). ---
