Answer: Peak wavelength

{lambda max}

= 9.7*EXP{-7}meter

Which is approximately,

1 micro-meter.

Explanation: lambda{max} which is peak wavelength is inversely proportional to temperature {T}.This is given by the wiens displacement law.

Lambda max

=max displacement{Xmax} / T

For the first case at T = 6000K

Lambda max = 483 nano-meter

=483*EXP{-9}meter.

So let's solve for max displacement {Xmax}.

Xmax = T*lambda max

= 6000*483*EXP{-9}

=2.898*EXP{-3}kelvin-meter

Xmax would be constant during Temperature change.

Therefore lambda max at 3000K would be,

Lambda max

= {2.898*EXP{-3} K-m} / 3000K

= 9.7*EXP{-7} meter

Which is approximately,

1*EXP{-6} meter= 1 micro-meter

NOTE: EXP used here means 10^.

How could the action force of a canoe moving through water be increased?.
BaLLatris [955]
There are several actions that can be used to increase the action force of a canoe that is moving through water. One can increase the rate of striking or strike harder than before with a bigger paddle. Using a lighter canoe can also be helpful for increasing the speed. I hope the answer comes to your help.

5. Two charged particles are separated by a distance of 12 meters. The Coulomb force between them is 20 N. What will the Coulomb
Leni [432]

Answer:

A) 80 N

Explanation:

The closer the particles get, the stronger the Coulomb force, which elongates choices C and D. The Coulomb force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. If the distance is cut in half, the force is multiplied by the reciprocal of (1/2)^2, which is 4. Multiplying it out, 20 times 4 is 80 N.
