- The surface temperature of Proxima Centauri is about 3000 K. Use Wien's law to determine λmax in nanometers (nm). What spectral range does this wavelength correspond to (radio, visible, infrared, etc.)
Homework Answers
By wein's displacement law we have
λmax T = 2898 *10^-6 m
where T = temperature in kelvin
λmax * 3000 = 2898*10^-6
λmax = 966*10^-9 m
= 966 nm
it falls in the range of ultraviolet rays
Add Answer to:
The surface temperature of Proxima Centauri is about 3000 K.
