Experimental investigations show that the intensity of solar radiation is maximum for a wavelength $480 \, nm$ in the visible region. Estimate the surface temperature of the sun. Given Wien's constant $b = 2.88 \times 10^{-3} \, mK$.

The wavelength of maximum intensity of radiation emitted by a star is $289.8 \, nm$. The radiation intensity of the star is (Stefan's constant $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \, W m^{-2} K^{-4}$, Wien's constant $b = 2898 \, \mu m K$).

$A$ black body is at a temperature of $5760 \ K$. The energy of radiation emitted by the body at wavelength $250 \ nm$ is $U_1$,at wavelength $500 \ nm$ is $U_2$ and that at $1000 \ nm$ is $U_3$. Wien's constant,$b = 2.88 \times 10^6 \ nm \ K$. Which of the following is correct?

If the wavelengths of maximum intensity of radiations emitted by the sun and the moon are $0.5 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ and $10^{-4} \ m$ respectively,the ratio of their temperatures is:

$A$ body at $1500 \ K$ emits maximum energy at a wavelength $20,000 \ \mathring{A}$. If the Sun emits maximum energy at a wavelength $5500 \ \mathring{A}$,then the temperature of the Sun is ....... $K$.
