Answer:

4202.8985 K

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Wien's displacement law which states that the temperature and the wavelength of the blackbody radiation are inversely proportional.

So,

λmax= b/T

Where,

λmax is the peak of wavelength
6.90* 10^(-7)\ m

b is the Wien's displacement constant having value as
2.9* 10^(-3)\  m K

T is the Absolute Temperature in Kelvin.s

So,

T = b/λmax =
(2.9* 10^(-3))/(6.90* 10^(-7)) = 4202.8985 K
