Our sun's 5800 K surface temperature gives a peak wavelength in the middle of the visible spectrum. 1. What is the minimum surface temperature for a star whose emission peaks at some wavelength less than 400 nm− that is, in the ultraviolet?
The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is a good approximation to assume that the emissivity e is equal to 1 for these surfaces.Part AFind the radius RRigel of the star Rigel, the bright blue star in the constellation Orion that radiates energy at a rate of 2.7×10^31 W and has a surface temperature of 11,000 K. Assume that the star is spherical.Use σ=5.67×10^−8 W/m2⋅K4 for the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and express your...
