Answer

temperature in $^{0}C$ =4830.037 $^{0}C$ approximately 4830. $^{0}C$

Work Step by Step

From Plank's hypothesis $E=hf$ ( where $f$ is frequency of radiation and $h$ is Planks constant $h=6.63\times10^{-34} J.s$ ) so $f=\frac{E}{h}$ given $E$=$3.5\times10^{-19}J $ $f=\frac{3.5\times10^{-19}J}{6.63\times10^{-34} J.s}$ $f=0.5279034\times10^{15}/s$ $f=5.279\times10^{14} Hz$ this frequency corresponds to minimum energy of oscillation, so it is minimum frequency of radiation. Since wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency the wavelength corresponding to above frequency will be maximum wavelength corresponding to above frequency $\lambda_{max}=\frac{c}{f}$ speed of light $c=3\times10^{8} m/s$ so $\lambda_{max}=\frac{3\times10^{8} m/s}{5.279\times10^{14} Hz}$ $\lambda_{max}=0.568289\times10^{-6} m$ $\lambda_{max} T= 2.90\times10^{-3}m.K$ $T= \frac{ 2.90\times10^{-3}m.K}{\lambda_{max}}$ $T= \frac{ 2.90\times10^{-3}m.K}{ 0.568289\times10^{-6} m}$ $T=5.103037\times10^{3}K$ $T= 5103.037 K$ absolute kelvin temperature = temperature in $^{0}C$ + 273 so temperature in $^{0}C$ = absolute kelvin temperature -273 so temperature in $^{0}C$ =5103.037 - 273 so temperature in $^{0}C$ =4830.037 $^{0}C$
