The wavelengths of terrestrial radiation from earth's surface are concentrated in thermal infrared spectrum.

Explanation:

The wavelengths used in thermal infrared are in the range of micrometer ranging from 8 to 15. Terrestrial radiation is defined as the radiation that is originating from earth due to radioactive materials like uranium, thorium e.t.c.

Increase in terrestrial radiation by the use of radioactive materials will consequently increase global warming as it releases green house gases thereby degrading the quality of earth's atmosphere.

At what wavelength would a star radiate the greatest amount of energy if the star has a surface temperature of 60,000 K?

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m$

Explanation:

We have,

The surface temperature of the star is 60,000 K

It is required to find the wavelength of a star that radiated greatest amount of energy. Wein's displacement law gives the relation between wavelength and temperature such that :

$\lambda T=2.89\times 10^{-3}$

Here,

$\lambda$ = wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}}{60000}\\\\\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the star is $4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m$ .
