The correct Answer is:
To find the surface temperature of the sun 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 radiation is maximum (λ_max) and the absolute temperature (T) of a black body is a constant (B). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = B \] ### Step 2: Identify the Given Values From the problem, we have: - Wavelength at maximum energy, \( \lambda_{max} = 4753 \, \text{Å} \) - Constant \( B = 2.888 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \cdot \text{K} \) ### Step 3: Convert Wavelength to Meters Since the constant B is given in meters, we need to convert the wavelength from angstroms to meters: \[ 1 \, \text{Å} = 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \] Thus, \[ \lambda_{max} = 4753 \, \text{Å} = 4753 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} = 4.753 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \] ### Step 4: Rearrange Wien's Displacement Law to Solve for Temperature We can rearrange the equation to solve for the temperature (T): \[ T = \frac{B}{\lambda_{max}} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the Values into the Equation Now we substitute the values of B and λ_max into the equation: \[ T = \frac{2.888 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \cdot \text{K}}{4.753 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Temperature Now we perform the calculation: \[ T = \frac{2.888 \times 10^{-3}}{4.753 \times 10^{-7}} \] \[ T \approx 6076 \, \text{K} \] ### Final Answer The surface temperature of the sun is approximately \( 6076 \, \text{K} \). ---
