At its peak, the Suns spectrum is 484 nm, what is the surface temperature?
1) “Wien’s displacement law states that the blackbody curve at any temperature has essentially the same shape as the curve at any other temperature, except that each wavelength is displaced, or moved over, on the graph. The average heat energy in each mode with frequency ν only depends on the combination ν/T. Restated in terms of the wavelength λ = c/ν, the distributions at corresponding wavelengths are related, where corresponding wavelengths are at locations proportional to 1/T. From this general law, it follows that there is an inverse relationship between the wavelength of the peak of the emission of a black body and its temperature when expressed as a function of wavelength (frequency gives a different peak as noted later), and this less powerful consequence is often also called Wien’s displacement law in many textbooks. λmax = b/T where λmax is the peak wavelength in meters, T is the temperature of the blackbody in kelvins (K), and b is a constant of proportionality called Wien’s
