Question

Based electromagnetic spectrum? on its surface temperature of 6,000 K, most photons that leave the Sun's surface lie in which region of the________

A) microwave
B) infrared
C) visible
D) ultraviolet
E) X-ray

Answer 1

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

Temperature of the surface = 6000 K

using formula to calculate
`\lambda_(max)`

`\lambda_(max) = (0.0029\ K.m)/(T)`

`\lambda_(max)` is the maximum wavelength emission in meter.

T is the temperature in kelvin.

`\lambda_(max) = (0.0029)/(6000)`

`\lambda_(max) = (0.0029)/(6000)`

`\lambda_(max) = 4.8333 * 10^(-7)`

`\lambda_(max) = 4833\ A^0`

the wavelength is in Visible range

The Correct answer is option C
