What Type of relationship exists between the Temperature of a Star and the Wavelength of a Star?

To estimate the surface temperature of a star, we can use the known relationship between the temperature of a blackbody, and the wavelength of light were its spectrum peaks. That is, as you increase the temperature of a blackbody, the peak of its spectrum moves to shorter (bluer) wavelengths of light.

This is known as Wien's Law:
The relationship is:
wavelength = 0.0029/temperature

It is an inversely proportional relationship.

1.5kj of energy are used every second by a microwave oven, what is the power rating of the oven?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Power is the rate at which energy is consumed. When 1 J of energy is consumed in one second, the power consumed is 1 watt.

The microwave consumes 1.5 kJ of energy.

In joules, the energy consumed is 1500 J

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

Here, E is the energy consumed in time interval <em>t.</em>

The power rating of the microwave is therefore,

$P=\frac{1500J}{1 s} \\ =1500 W$

Thus, the power rating of the oven is 1500 W or 1.5 kW
