The wavelength of maximum energy, released during an atomic explosion, was 2.93 ´ 10-10 m. Given that the Wien's constant is 2.93 ´ 10-3 m K, the maximum temperature attained must be of the order of
A
10-7 K
B
107 K
C
10-13 K
D
5.86 ´ 107 K
Answer
107 K
Explanation
Solution
λmT=b ⇒ 2.93×10−10×T=2.93×10−3⇒ T = 107 K
