Question

Use Wein's law to determine the wavelength corresponding to the peak of the black body curve (a) in the core of the Sun, where the temperature is 10^7, (b) in the solar convection zone (10^5), and (c) just below the solar photosphere (10^4K). What form (visible, infrared, X-ray, etc.) does radiation take in each case?

## Problem Set

### Problem 1
Use the reasoning presented in Section 16.1 to calculate the value of the "solar constant" (a) on Mercury at perihelion, (b) on Jupiter.

### Problem 2
Use Wien’s law to determine the wavelength corresponding to the peak of the blackbody curve:
- (a) in the core of the sun, where the temperature is \(10^7 \, \text{K}\),
- (b) in the solar convection zone (\(10^6 \, \text{K}\)),
- (c) just below the solar photosphere (\(10^4 \, \text{K}\)).

What form (visible, infrared, X-ray, etc.) does the radiation take in each case?

### Problem 3
The largest-amplitude solar pressure waves have periods of about 5 minutes and move at the speed of sound in the outer layers of the Sun, roughly \(10 \, \text{km/s}\).
- (a) How far does such a wave travel in this time?
