Chapter 9, Problem 9.21E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature corresponding to ${\lambda }_{\max }=9.4\mu \text{m}$ in pit viper is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The relation between temperature and wavelength is expressed using Wien’s displacement law. The relation is given as follows.

${\lambda }_{\max }T=2.898\times {10}^{-3}\text{mK}$

Thus, the product of ${\lambda }_{\max }$ and temperature has a constant value.
