Problem
A pottery kiln is regulated so that its interior is maintained at 1200∘C. Treating the kiln walls as an ideal blackbody:
(i) Convert the given temperature to kelvin.
(ii) Determine the wavelength corresponding to the maximum emissive intensity of the radiation emerging from the walls.
(iii) Express this wavelength in micrometres and identify the region of the electromagnetic spectrum (visible, infrared, ultraviolet) in which it lies.
