a) At what wavelength does the Sun emit most intensely?

  • The target variable we want to determine in this first item is the peak intensity wavelength (     )

  • So the only equation we know that relates this variable is the Wien displacement law: 

  • The statement also already gives us other information to be able to calculate the peak intensity wavelength (     ). The surface temperature of the Sun 5,800 K.
