The temperature of the cosmic background radiation is measured to be 2.7 k. What is the wavelength of the peak in the spectral distribution at this temperature?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]1.07\cdot 10^{-3} m[/tex]

Explanation:

The peak wavelength of the spectral distribution can be found by using Wien's displacement law:

[tex]\lambda=\frac{b}{T}[/tex]

where

[tex]b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K[/tex] is Wien's displacement constant

T is the absolute temperature

For the cosmic background radiation, the temperature is

T = 2.7 K

So, the corresponding peak wavelength is

[tex]\lambda=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K}{2.7 K}=1.07\cdot 10^{-3} m[/tex]
