Problem

A spherical blackbody of radius 6.0×106 m6.0\times10^{6}\,\text{m} radiates 4.5×1026 W4.5\times10^{26}\,\text{W} of power. Calculate its peak-emission wavelength. (Use σ=5.67×10−8 W m−2 K−4\sigma = 5.67\times10^{-8}\,\text{W\,m}^{-2}\,\text{K}^{-4} and b=2.90×10−3 m Kb = 2.90\times10^{-3}\,\text{m\,K}.)
