Students have asked these similar questions
If the temperature of a blackbody increases, the peak wavelength will increase as well. True or False
What wavelength (in nanometers) is the peak intensity of the light coming from a star
whose surface temperature is 8888 Kelvin? Calculate total energy radiated per unit area
by a black body at this temperature.
A star’s spectrum emits more radiation with a wavelength of 690.0 nm than with any other wavelength.
If the star is 9.78 ly from Earth and its radius is 7.20 × 108 m, what will an Earth-based observer measure for this star’s intensity? Stars are nearly perfect blackbodies. (Note: ly stands for light-years.)
