A scientist measures the light from a distant star at 525 nm. The constant for Wien's
displacement law is 2.9 x 10-3 m K. What is the
approximate temperature of the star in Kelvins?
A) 1500 K
B) 180,000 K
C) 1.5 K
D) 5500 K

The approximate temperature of the star as determined is D) 5500 K.

The Wien's displacement law relates the maximum wavelength of a body to its absolute temperature. Wien's displacement law states that:

λ =

where λ is the maximum wavelength of the body, b is the constant of proportionality and T is the absolute temperature.

Thus from the given question, λ = 525 nm (525 x ), and b = 2.9 x mK.

So that,

525 x =

Make T the subject of the formula to have;

T =

  = 5523.81

T = 5523.81 K

T ≅ 5500.00 K

The approximate temperature of the star in Kelvin is 5500 K.

there is no correct list among the choices you've provided.

the list might look something like this:

-- baby human

-- piccolo

-- flute

-- soprano singer

-- trumpet

-- tenor singer

-- trombone

-- baritone singer

-- baritone horn

-- bass singer

-- tuba

since i had to make up the list myself, i made it easy on myself, and i didn't try to shuffle the string instruments and woodwinds into it too.

im guessing the west of station b
