1. How is the curve produced by the oven similar to the line produced by the light bulb?
3. If the power goes out in your kitchen, could you see in the dark using light from hot oven? Explain. !! Set the temperature to 5600K. This is approximately the surface temperature of the sun. You’ll need to zoom in on the horizontal axis and zoom out on the vertical axis. !
4. Compared the most intense wavelength produced by the light bulb to the most intense produced by the sun. !!
5. Explain the relationship you see between the radiation emitted by the sun and the visible spectrum. !!!
6. Is there evidence of the sun producing harmful ultraviolet radiation? Explain. !!! Part III The relationship between peak wavelength and temperature. ! Now you will explore the relationship between peak wavelength and temperature. For the following temperatures determine the peak wavelength using the ruler tool to help you line-up the peak with the x-axis. Be careful to make sure your wavelength is in nm! ! Temperature (K) Peak Wavelength (nm!)
a. ! 600 K
b. ! 1200 K
c. ! 2500 K
d. ! 3500 K
e. ! 4500 K
