Chapter 7, Problem 2P

A celestial body has a temperature of 50 K. What is the wavelength of maximum intensity? In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum (gamma-ray, X-ray, UV, visible light, IR, microwave, or radio) does this peak wavelength lie? Give an example of an object that might have this temperature. Another celestial body has a temperature of 500 K. What is the wavelength of maximum intensity? In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is this? Give an example of an object that might have this temperature. A third celestial body has a temperature of 5000 K. What is the wavelength of maximum intensity? In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is this? Give an example of an object that might have this temperature. A fourth celestial body has a temperature of 50,000 K. What is the wavelength of maximum intensity? In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is this? Give an example of an object that might have this temperature. Draw a conclusion about temperature and wavelength of maximum intensity trends.
