Question
For a body emitting blackbody radiation, the total power emitted is proportional to the 4th power of the body’s absolute temperature:
(T in kelvins)
and the wavelength of the emitted EM radiation that has the highest intensity is inversely proportional to the body’s absolute temperature according to:
( in meters, T in kelvins)
Assume an object is emitting blackbody radiation.
A body in a room at 300 K is heated to 3,000 K. The wavelength of the most intense EM radiation emitted by the body at 3,000 K is the wavelength of the most intense EM radiation at 300 K.
