Question

Sun has an eective temperature of about 5800 kelvins. What is the peak wavelength emitted by the sun?

Answer 1

By Wien's displacement law we can conclude that, the peak wavelength emitted by the sun for 5800K temperature is 499nm.

To find the answer, we have to know about Wien's distribution law.

How to find the maximum wavelength?

• The black-body radiation curve for various temperatures will peak at various wavelengths that are inversely proportional to the temperature, according to Wien's displacement law.

• It is given that, Sun has an active temperature of about 5800 kelvins.
• Thus, by Wien's distribution law, the maximus wavelength is,

             $wavelength*T=2.898*10^{-3}mK\\wavelength=\frac{2.898*10^{-3}mK}{5800K}=499nm.$

Thus, by Wien's displacement law we can conclude that, the peak wavelength emitted by the sun for 5800K temperature is 499nm.
