Chapter 5, Problem 5CC
To determine

The temperature at which the object emits more infrared radiation. Given that the object emits radiation of maximum wavelength of 1000 nm at 3000 K temperature. The object is then heated to 12000 K, such that it emits energy which is a very small part of the total energy at infrared wavelength.

How many watts of radiation does a 1-meter-square region of the Sun’s spot emit, at a temperature of 5000 K? How much would the wattage increase if the temperature of the spot were twice as much, 10 000 K?
A blackbody measures 20 cm by 15 cm. If the temperature of the object is 2,500 K, how much energy does it emit per second?
If a star has a surface temperature of 9500K. What would be the frequency of the light given off at the peak wavelength, in Hertz?
