The surface temperature of the Sun is 5800 K.

1. Calculate the wavelength of light at which the Sun emits the maximum amount of radiation.
2. Which law did you use to calculate this?
3. Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is this wavelength in?
4. What would this wavelength be if the Sun's temperature were twice its current surface temperature of 5800 K?
5. Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is this wavelength in?
6. Draw the approximate blackbody curves that correspond to 5800 K and twice this value (You can consult your notes). Label the axes and the approximate wavelength values of the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. You don't need to mark values along the y-axis. Then label the peaks of the two curves you just drew, with the peak wavelength value and temperature. Note that the heights of the curves should be drawn to be approximately correct.
