your body emits radiation which peaks at 9.37 μm. What is your body heat? is the following

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Human body temperature is about 310.15ºK . That puts the peak radiation in the infrared range. Human vision can see red light wavelengths as long as about 7,000 Angstroms. The infrared wavelengths are generally defined as being between 7,000 and 1,000,000 Angstroms

2.Wien's law formula

The equation describing Wien's law is very simple: λ max = b / T , ... λ max is the aforementioned peak wavelength of light, T is an absolute temperature of a black body, b = 2.8977729 mm*K is the Wien's displacement constant.

3.The Peak Wavelength is the wavelength where the spectrum reaches its highest intensity. This point is shown in the graph on the left and is labeled peak.

4. What is the temperature of a star with a wavelength of maximum light of 290 nm (recall: nm is the abbreviation for nanometers)? so T(K) = 2.9 × 106 λpeak( nm) K = 104K. According to Wien's Law λpeak = 2.9 × 106 T(K) nm = 2.9 × 106 106 nm = 2.9 nm.
