Consider coiled burners on an electric stove. When turned on, they glow "Red Hot." Estimate the temperature of these coils. (Note: Copper’s melting point is 1357 K).

Answer:

T = 4260.29 K

Explanation:

According to Wien's displacement we can write that

[tex]\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}[/tex]

where b is constant

b= 2.897 ×10^{-3} m.K

for the red wavelength is about 680 nm

therefore, to calculate temperature of these coils.

[tex]T=\frac{b}{\lambda_{max}}[/tex]

putting the value we get

[tex]T=\frac{2.897 ×10^{-3}}{680\times10^{-9}}[/tex]

T = 4260.29 K
