Question

Please only answer b, answer a is 9.725 (but I'm not sure what unit to put)

(a) Assuming an object at room temperature (T = 25 °C) behaves like an ideal thermal emitter,
estimate the wavelength at which the heat intensity from the body is a maximum. (Hint: an
approximate solution to the equation (x – 5)e* + 5 = 0 is x = 4.96)
(b) To what temperature must the body be heated until its peak thermal radiation is in the red
region of the electromagnetic spectrum (2 = 650 nm)?
