Two stars X and Y emit maximum radiation...

Two stars X and Y emit maximum radiations at `4800 Å and 6000 Å` respectively. If the temperature of the star Y is 5800 K, then what is the temperature of the star X?

To find the temperature of star X using Wien's displacement law, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Wien's Displacement Law Wien's displacement law states that the product of the wavelength at which the emission of radiation is maximum (λ_max) and the absolute temperature (T) of the black body is a constant. Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] where \( b \) is Wien's displacement constant. ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation ...
