Problem
The emission spectrum of a hot body shows a maximum at a wavelength of 800nm.
(1) In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the wavelength 800nm lie?
(2) What is the temperature of the hot body?
(3) If the body is now heated considerably, what would happen to the wavelength at which maximum intensity is radiated?
