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.

Explanation:

It is given that the number of electrons passing through the cross-sectional area in 1 s is $3.4 \times 10^{18}$ . Also, we know that charge on an electron is $-1.60 \times 10^{-19} C$ , then negative charge crossing to the left per second is as follows.

I- = $3.4 \times 10^{18} electrons \times -1.6 x 10^{-19} C/electrons$

I- = 0.544 A

As it is given that the number of protons crossing per second is $1.4 \times 10^{18}$ , as the charge on the proton is $+1.60 \times 10^{-19} C$ , then positive charge crossing to the right per second is calculated as follows.
