Wien's displacement law

Students often get confused between Wien's displacement law and Planck's radiation law. Although both are historically related, yet they are conceptually different. Planck's law helps determine the spectrum of a blackbody, while Wien's law determines the relationship between peak wavelength and temperature.

What is the magnetic field amplitude of an electromagnetic wave whose electric field amplitude is 10 V/m?
Solar cells generate a potential difference when exposed to sunlight. In an experiment, you wish to charge a rechargeable battery by connecting it in series to an array of solar cells. You perform the experiment outdoors, in direct sunlight, when the intensity of solar radiation is 1000 W/m². However, your solar cells only have an efficiency of 11% (that is, only 11% of the sunlight power transmitted to the solar cells is delivered to the rechargeable battery). While the circuit is connected, you measure at one instant the potential difference across the battery to be 5.30 V and the current in the circuit to be 0.27 A. What is the area of the array of solar cells? m2
