1050 Homework 4
Question 11: At what wavelength, approximately, does
the spectrum of a 10000 K type A star peak?
a.300 nm
b.500 nm
c.600 nm
d.800 nm
e.1.2 microns or 1200
nm
Now, if you look at a
figure showing the spectrum of a real A star, it is more like 400 nm due to Hydrogren
absorption, but I was looking for the Wien’s law answer.
