Answer

(a) $15.88\times 10^{10}Hz$ (b) $1.9mm$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the peak frequency as $f_{peak}=(5.88\times 10^{10}s^{-1}K^{-1})(2.7K)$ $f_{peak}=15.88\times 10^{10}Hz$ (b) The required wavelength can be determined as $\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{15.88\times 10^{10}}$ $\lambda=1.9\times 10^{-3}m=1.9mm$
