Tycho's Supernova.
In 1572, Tycho Brahe observed a new star, which we now know was a supernova. The figure shows an X-ray image of the supernova. Assume the supernova gas is a blackbody; using the temperature listed in the figure, what wavelength does this body emit most of its light? Round your answer to two significant digits. (answer in nm)
What band of the EM spectrum is this wavelength?
Is the picture correctly labeled with regards to the EM band?
