Blackbody Spectrum Question
(a) Examination of the spectrum of a star shows
that it is brightest at the frequency 1.5 × 10^14 Hz. What is its
temperature? How does this compare to the Sun’s temperature? What

(b) How does the surface brightness of this
star compare with Sun’s surface brightness, according to the
Stefan-Boltzmann law?
(c) Somewhat surprisingly, the star in question
