Wien's displacement law

Students often get confused between Wien's displacement law and Planck's radiation law. Although both are historically related, yet they are conceptually different. Planck's law helps determine the spectrum of a blackbody, while Wien's law determines the relationship between peak wavelength and temperature.

Question

The surface temperature of the Sun is 5000℃.
a) Find the magnitude of the peak wavelength of radiation emitted from the Sun’s surface.
b) Which color of the visible spectrum does the peak emitted wavelength correspond to?
