The light from th esun is found to have a maximum intensity near the wavelength of 470nm. Assuming that the surface o f the sun emits as a blackbody, calculate the temperture of the surface of the sun.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For a blackbody, `lambda_(m)T=0.288cmK` .thus, `T=(0.288cmK)/(470nm)=6130K`.
