Calculate Peak Wavelength

Formula

The formula to calculate the peak wavelength of radiation is:

\[ \lambda_{\text{max}} = \frac{b}{T} \]

Where:

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the peak wavelength:

\[ \lambda_{\text{max}} = \frac{2.8977729 \times 10^{-3}}{5000} = 5.7955458 \times 10^{-7} \text{ meters} \]

This demonstrates that with an absolute temperature of 5000 K, the peak wavelength of radiation is approximately 579.55 nm. ✅
