A blackbody (a hollow sphere whose inside is black) emits radiation when it is heated. The emittance (Mλ, W/m3), which is the power per unit area per wavelength, at a given temperature (T, K) and wavelength (λ, m) is given by the Planck distribution, where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and k is Boltzmann's constant. Determine the temperature in degrees Celsius at which a blackbody will emit light of wavelength 3.57 μm with an Mλ of 5.31×1010 W/m3. The power per unit area emitted can be determined by integrating Mλ between two wavelengths, λ1 and λ2. However, for narrow wavelength ranges (Δλ), the power emitted can be simply calculated as the product of Mλ and Δλ. power emitted=MλΔλ Using the conditions from the first part of the question, determine the power emitted per square meter (W/m2) between the wavelengths 3.56 μm and 3.58 μm.
