When naming molecular compounds prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in the compound. ” Mono-” indicates one, “Di-” indicates two, “Tri-” is three, “Tetra-” is four, “Penta-” is five, and “Hexa-” is six, “Hepta-” is seven, “Octo-” is eight, “Nona-” is nine, and “Deca-” is ten.

A common radio wavelength observed coming from astronomical objects is 21 cm. What temperature is associated with this radiation

qaws [65]

Answer:

The temperature associated with this radiation is 0.014K.

Explanation:

If we assume that the astronomical object behaves as a black body, the relation between its <em>wavelength</em> and <em>temperature</em> is given by Wien's displacement law.

$\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}$

where,

λmax is the wavelength at the peak of emission

b is Wien's displacement constant (2.89×10⁻³ m⋅K)

T is the absolute temperature

For a wavelength of 21 cm,

$T=\frac{b}{\lambda _{max} } = \frac{2.89 \times 10^{-3} m.K }{0.21m} =0.014K$
