If the human eye has evolved over time so that its peak wavelength sensitivity is about 0.5 $\mu$m (1 $\mu$m = 10^-6 m), what will be the temperature of a blackbody to which the eye will be MOST sensitive? A) 0.58 K B) 580 K C) 5800 K D) 14,240 K

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The human eye's peak sensitivity at approximately 0.5 micrometers (500 nanometers) corresponds to the peak emission of a blackbody at around 5800 K, according to Wien's displacement law. This temperature is similar to the surface temperature of the Sun, which is why our eyes have evolved to be most sensitive to this range of light.
