Problem

Measurements on a spherical blackbody give a power output of (1.00±0.03)×1014 W(1.00 \pm 0.03)\times10^{14}\,\text{W} and a radius of (2.00±0.04)×106 m(2.00 \pm 0.04)\times10^{6}\,\text{m}. Estimate the percentage uncertainty in the value of its peak-emission wavelength that is calculated from these data.
