QUESTION 11
It can be shown that the maximum in the wavelength distribution for blackbody radiation can be approximated well by
the formula
hc
AmaxT=
4.965 kg
where h = 6.62607015 × 10-34 J.sec, kB = 1.38068 × 10-23 J/K, and c = 2.99792458 × 108 m/sec, Tis in K, and Amax is
given in m.
(a) If you have a normal body temperature of 40°C, what is the value of Amax in the radiation that you emit? Report your
answer in nm, and be careful of the units for temperature.

QUESTION 12
(continuation of the previous problem)
It can be shown that the maximum in the wavelength distribution for blackbody radiation can be approximated well by
the formula
hc
AmaxT=
4.965 kB
where h = 6.62607015 x 10-34 J-sec, kB = 1.38068 x 10-23 J/K, and c = 2.99792458 x 108 m/sec, Tis in K, and Amax is
given in m.
(b) If the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum spans the wavelengths from 400 to 700 nm, what is the
smallest temperature that would have its value of Amax in the visible range? Report your answer in K.
