Question
Question: The wavelength of maximum energy released during an atomic explosion was \(2.93 \times 10^{- 10}m\)....
The wavelength of maximum energy released during an atomic explosion was 2.93×10−10m. Given that Wien's constant is 2.93×10−3m–K, the maximum temperature attained must be of the order of
A
10–7 K
B
107 K
C
10–13 K
D
5.86×107K
Answer
107 K
Explanation
Solution
From Wien's displacement law λmT=b
∴ T=λmb=2.93×10−102.93×10−3=107K.
