The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the product of the maximum wavelength (λ_max) and the temperature (T) of a black body is a constant (Wien's constant, b). The formula is given by: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Wien's constant, \( b = 0.3 \, \text{cm K} \) - Wavelength, \( \lambda_{max} = 5000 \, \text{Å} \) 2. **Convert Units:** - Convert Wien's constant from cm to meters: \[ b = 0.3 \, \text{cm} = 0.3 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m} = 0.003 \, \text{m K} \] - Convert the wavelength from Ångströms to meters: \[ \lambda_{max} = 5000 \, \text{Å} = 5000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} = 5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \] 3. **Apply Wien's Law:** - Rearranging the formula to find temperature: \[ T = \frac{b}{\lambda_{max}} \] - Substitute the values into the equation: \[ T = \frac{0.003 \, \text{m K}}{5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}} \] 4. **Calculate Temperature:** - Performing the division: \[ T = \frac{0.003}{5 \times 10^{-7}} = \frac{0.003}{5} \times 10^{7} = 0.0006 \times 10^{7} = 6 \times 10^{3} \, \text{K} \] - Therefore, the temperature of the Sun is: \[ T = 6000 \, \text{K} \] 5. **Conclusion:** - The temperature of the Sun, having a maximum intensity of radiation at \( 5000 \, \text{Å} \), is \( 6000 \, \text{K} \). ### Final Answer: The temperature of the Sun is \( 6000 \, \text{K} \).
