The maximum wavelength of emission from Neptune's cloud tops is 6.0 x 10-5m. Using this value, determine the temperature of Neptune's outer atmosphere.

Answer 1

Using Wein's displacement law, I get about 48K

lambdamax*temp=2.898E-3 m-Kelvin

Answer 2

Can you please show me how you calculated your answer?

Answer 3

Goodness. I used algebra I techniques.

Temp= 2.892E-3/6E-5= 48
