Use the Wien displacement law to make a log-log plot of λmax (from 10-8 m to 10-2 m) versus temperature (from 100 K to 105 K). Mark on the plot the regions of visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and microwave wavelengths. Put the following points on the line: sun (5800 K), furnace (1900 K), room temperature (300 K), and the background radiation of the universe (2.7 K). Discuss the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted from each of these sources. Does it make sense?
