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.

Answer the following A. A comet has just passed the Earth and its peak emission is observed at 15000 nm. Determine in which region of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. X-ray, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, ...) the peak emission wavelength resides. What is the temperature of the comet? B. Within the Solar System, a convenient unit of measurement is the Earth-Sun distance, called an astronomical unit (AU). For bigger distances, we use the light year (LY), the distance that light travels in one year. We can expand our lingo to include other measures of distance, for example, light days, light minutes, and light hours. Starting with the values you can look up in the Appendices for the speed of light and the astronomical unit, calculate how many “light minutes” there are in 1 AU. C. What is the observable universe? How big is it?
