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 energy distribution $E$ with the wavelength $\lambda$ for black body radiation at temperature $T \ K$ is shown in the figure. As the temperature is increased,the maxima will:

$A$ black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\lambda$ and its emissive power is $E$. Now,due to a change in the temperature of that body,it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\frac{2\lambda}{3}$. At that new temperature,the emissive power is:

The wavelength of maximum emission from a body at a temperature of $200 \, K$ is $14 \, \mu m$. If the temperature of the body is increased to $1000 \, K$,find the new wavelength of maximum emission.
