Use Wien's Law to calculate the peak wavelength of light coming from the Sun. Assume T=5800 K for the surface temperature of the Sun. Wein's displacement law says that the blackbody temperature and peak wavelength multiplied together give a constant of 0.29 cm-K. (K is degrees Kelvin). Convert the wavelength from part A into a frequency. The product of wavelength and frequency for electromagnetic radiation is a constant, the speed of light (c), 3 x 10^10 cm/s.

If the intensity of the Sun peaks in the optical range, at a frequency of about 3:4 x 10 Hz, what is the temperature of the Sun? Use the Wien displacement law (1.25). If all of the power is emitted only between 3 and 4 x 10 Hz, how many photons per cm² arrive at the earth when the Sun is directly overhead? What is the power received on earth per cm³? A value for the solar power is 135mW per cm². How does this compare to your calculation?

Which of the following is least reasonable regarding the "water hole"? Group of answer choices It consists of frequencies which are greater than the frequencies of atmospheric emissions. It relates to the natural frequencies of vibration of hydroxyl (OH) and hydrogen (H), respectively.

It is considered the "electromagnetic oasis" for interstellar communication. It corresponds to wavelengths in the 18-21 cm range.

a) The star 58 Eridani is a feint but naked-eye star similar to the Sun. Suppose that you are observing this star in the night sky without a telescope. Ignoring any interstellar extinction or atmospheric absorption, approximately how many photons per second arrive at your retina? Show all steps in your calculation. Look up any required information about the star using Wikipedia. Use sensible approximations so your calculation is straightforward. For example you could consider only the region of the spectrum where the photon flux peaks. b) The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI, camera and spectrograph) on the James Webb Space Telescope operates in the band 5 – 28 µm. For 58 Eridani, approximately how many photons per second can be used by this instrument? Assume that MIRI takes all the photons from the full JWST mirror. Show all steps in your calculation.
