What is the temperature of a star (in Kelvin) if its peak wavelength is 150 nm (that is, 150 x 10^-9 m)?

Answer:

19320 K

Explanation:

The temperature of a star is related to its peak wavelength by Wien's displacement law:

T=\frac{b}{\lambda}

where

T is the absolute temperature at the star's surface

b=2.898 \cdot 10^{-3}m\cdot K is Wien's displacement constant

\lambda is the peak wavelength

Here we have

\lambda=150 nm = 150\cdot 10^{-9}nm

Substituting into the equation, we find

T=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3}}{150\cdot 10^{-9}}=19320 K

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

the electric field strength of this charge is two times the strength of the other charge

Explanation:

Using the relationship between electric field and the charge, which is inversely proportionality. Let the the magnitude of the first charge be Q and the respective electric field be E. It implies that;

E1/E2 = Q2/Q1

E2 = E1 x Q1/Q2

      = E x Q/ (Q/2)

       = 2E
