The radiation from Venus's cloud tops has its maximum at 12.0 micron. Taking Wien's constant 2.898 × 1 0 − 3 m K, find the temperature in kelvin (nearest whole number).

T = λ m b = 12 × 1 0 − 6 2.898 × 1 0 − 3 = 241 K.

The radiation from Venus's cloud tops has its maximum at 12.0 micron. Taking Wien's constant $2.898 \times 1 0^{- 3}$ m K, find the temperature in kelvin (nearest whole number).

Answer:

242

Solution:

$T = \frac{b}{λ _{m}} = \frac{2.898 \times 1 0 ^{- 3}}{12 \times 1 0 ^{- 6}} = 241$ K.
