The sun emits light having maximum intensity at a wavelength 468nm. Assume emissivity of sun is 1. Calculate its surface temperature. σ= 5.67*10^-8W/m^2K^4.(a) 6800K(b) 3400K(c) 6196K(d) 7200KI had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.Origin of the question is Thermal Properties of Matter in section Thermal Properties of Matter of Physics – Class 11

Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (c) 6196K

The explanation: USING WEIN’s displacement law: λT = 2.9*10^-3,

we get T = 2.9*10^-3/(468*10^-9)

= 6196 K.
