The wavelength of maximum emission from the sun is 480 nm. Taking Wien's constant \(b=2.88\times10^{-3}\) m K, the surface temperature of the sun is
A. 6500 K
B. 7200 K
C. 6000 K
D. 5000 K

Best answer
Answer: C. 6000 K
\(T=\frac{b}{\lambda_{max}}=\frac{2.88\times10^{-3}}{480\times10^{-9}}=6000\) K.
