A) 94 $\mu$m
B) 3.1 $\mu$m
C) 0.94 $\mu$m

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peak wavelength of radiation emitted by a body can be calculated using Wien's Law, which states that the peak wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature. For a human body at 310 K, the peak wavelength is approximately 9.4 micrometers.
