Suppose, in question 2, the temperature of planet B doubles.

(a) What would be its wavelength of maximum energy emission?

(b) In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum would this wavelength be found?

(c) If the temperature of planet A remained the same, determine which planet (A or B) would now be emitting the most radiation (use the Stefan- Boltzmann relationship on p. 40). Explain your Answer

Suppose planet A is exactly twice the size (in surface area) of planet B. If both planets have the same exact surface temperature (1500 K), which planet would be emitting the most radiation? Determine the wavelength of maximum energy emission of both planets, using Wien’s law on p. 40.
