Answer:

So the wavelength of light is 1015.7 nm

Explanation:

From Wein's displacement law, we can write the following formula;

\lambda _{MAX}\times T=K here, \lambda _{MAX} is the wavelength of maximum radiation in meters

T is the absolute temperature (in Kelvin) for maximum radiation

K is the constant has a value of 2.898\times 10^{-3}m-kelvin

Given here,  T = 2853 K

And we need to find  \lambda _{MAX}

Putting the values in formula

\lambda _{max}\times 2853=2.898\times 10^{-3}

\lambda _{max}=1.0157\times 10^{-6}m

\lambda _{max}=1015.7\times 10^{-9}m=1015.7nm

Answer:

The statement that is NOT true about Guinea worm disease is It is a noncommunicable disease

Explanation:

The Guinea worm disease is a disease that infects people who drink water contaminated with copepods carrying worm larvae. It can be prevented by filtering drinking water and stopping infected people from entering shared water sources.  People with blisters and visible worm wounds/ infections could potentially release the female worm or a liquid which in contact with water release more larvae.
