Problem

A laboratory furnace is held at

1200\,\text{K}

. The measured wavelength corresponding to maximum emission is

2.40\,\mu\text{m}

. Calculate the product

\lambda_{\max}T

and state whether it agrees with Wien’s displacement law (

b = 2.898\times10^{-3}\,\text{m\,K}

) within reasonable experimental error.
