To measure temperatures, physicists often use the variation of intensity of EM radiation emitted by an object. The wavelength at which the intensity is greatest is given by the equation:
λmaxT = 0.2898 cm.K
where λmax is the wavelength of greatest intensity and T is the temperature of the object in kelvins. In 1965, microwave radiation peaking at λmax = 0.107 cm was discovered coming in all directions from space. To what temperature, in a) K b) °C c) °F, does this wavelength correspond?
You are using a radiometer to observe the thermal radi-
ation from an object that is heated to maintain its tem-
perature at 1278 K. The radiometer records radiation in
a wavelength interval of 12.6 nm. By changing the wave-
length at which you are measuring, you set the radiome-
ter to record the most intense radiation emission from
the object. What is the intensity of the emitted radiation
in this interval?
Radiation Energy The total radiation energy E emittedby a heated surface per unit area varies as the fourthpower of its absolute temperature T. The temperature is6000 K at the surface of the sun and 300 K at the surfaceof the earth.(a) How many times more radiation energy per unit area isproduced by the sun than by the earth?(b) The radius of the earth is 3960 mi, and the radius of thesun is 435,000 mi. How many times more total radiationdoes the sun emit than the earth?
