Question

What two things does the wavelength of peak of the blackbody

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

c. Temperature and color

Explanation:

Based on Wien's Law which can be presented mathematically as follows;

$\lambda _{max} = (0.29 \ cm \ K) / T$

The wavelength of the peak of the blackbody curve tells the temperature and color.

An example is the Sun that  has a temperature of 5800 K, hence the peak wavelength is given by $\lambda _{max} = (0.29 \ cm \ K) / 5800 = 0.00005 \ cm$ = 500 nano-meter from which the color can be deduced as 500 nano-meter is the wavelength of  yellow light.
