The maximum wavelength of light coming from a star is $2.93 \times 10^{-10} \, m$. If Wien's constant is $b = 2.93 \times 10^{-3} \, m \cdot K$,what is the temperature of the star?

The surface temperature of the sun which has maximum energy emission at $500 \,nm$ is $6000 \,K$. The temperature of a star which has maximum energy emission at $400 \,nm$ will be: (in $\,K$)

The law used in the measurement of the temperature of stars is .........

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ have emissivities $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The outer surface areas of both bodies are the same. Both bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength $\lambda_B$ corresponding to the maximum spectral radiance of $B$ is $1.0 \mu m$. If the temperature of $A$ is $5802 \ K$,calculate the wavelength $\lambda_A$ in $\mu m$. (Note: The original question asked for $\lambda_B$ but provided $\lambda_B$ as $1.0 \mu m$ and asked for $\lambda_A$ based on the context of the solution provided).
