Use the formula
Lamdamax*T = b
Where b is Wein's constant, 2.898 x 10^-3 m K
you get
Lamdamax = 4.97 X 10^-7 m
this wavelength represents UV light.

How is color measured?
Color is measured in several ways, including wavelength relative to the light spectrum, intensity, and purity of tone.bright and dark
Does the extinction coefficient increase if the wavelength is increased?
A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.
Does temperature affect van der waal's forces?
Temperature increases the vibrational energy of atoms and molecules. As a result, molecules vibrate with more intensity and van der waal's forces are broken.

What are two ways the rate of chemical reaction can be changed?
Increase the temperatureUse a catalystIncrease the surface areaMechanical agitation or stirring
What is the relationship between the color of the star and temperature of a star?
The color of a star is related with the wavelength of the light observed. Wien's Law states that: Peak Wavelength x Surface Temperature = 2.898x10-3 Peak Wavelength is the wavelength of the highest intensity light coming from a star.
Scientists determine the composition and temperature of stars?
To determine the chemical composition of stars, scientists look at what's called the emission spectrum of the stars, which can be obtained from the light coming from the stars. Thin lines are observed in different parts of the spectrum, which correspond to different chemicals. In other words, the lines are like fingerprints of chemicals. By looking at these fingerprints, one can determine what type of chemicals are present in the star. To determine the surface temperature of stars, we use the Wien's Law. It states that: Peak wavelength x Surface Temperature = 2.898x10-3 Peak wavelength can be determined by looking at the light coming from the star in question. It is the wavelength with the highest intensity.
Does the intensity of light determine whether radiation will eject electrons?
No. The wavelength of the light determines whether an electron will be ejected from an atom.
What happens if you place a thermometer in any wavelength of visible spectrum?
Depending on the intensity of the light the thermometer should indicate an increase in temperature.
Can an object vibrate at the wavelength of light?
No object can vibrate at the wavelength of light. wavelength of light depends on the intensity of light and electron movements.
Is there any completely incoherent light?
It's not clear exactly what you mean by "completely incoherent." Blackbody radiation is given off at any angle and any phase, but the shape of the intensity/frequency curve is determined by the temperature; is that close enough to "completely incoherent"?
What is two properties of sound?
Examples: frequency, intensity, wavelength.
Does the intensity of Xrays and gamma rays differ?
Intensity is independent of frequency or wavelength. So whether it is Xray or gamma ray both can have the same intensity.
Human body temperature is about 310 K 98.6 degree F At wavelength do humans radiate the most energy What kind of radiation do you emit?
The Wien’s law for maximum intensity is, Here, is the wavelength of maximum intensity and T is the temperature of human body. Rearrange the above expression for . Substitute for T to find . So the maximum energy is radiated at 9355.83nmK. Humans emit infrared off radiation which is electromagnetic radiation with a frequency lower than visible light.
How many electrons are emitted when calcium is flashed with light of wavelength 340 nm and intensity of 50 percent?
5 electrons are emitted when calcium is flashed with light of wavelength 340 nm and intensity of 50 percent.
What is the unit of fluorescence intensity?
The unit of fluorescence intensity is known as FUs. These are unitless and instead shows the light that is emitted from the longer wavelength.
What are the things that can be measured about waves?
Speed, wavelength, frequency, period, amplitude, intensity.
