    Inverse of wien's displacement

    Could I by any way find out average thermal retention of a blackbody that is irradiated with x rays? Since wavelength is inversely propotional to temp, in order to emit and absorb x rays it must be at a fairly high temperature I guess.

    Inverse Solubility of Solid Solutes

    Why is the solubility of some solids lower when the solution is heated? I read that it is because the process is exothermic (heat from breakdown is greater than the heat needed for breakdown). But why would having extra heat from outside sources inhibit the dissolving process, wouldn't it only...

    Adjoint and inverse of product of operators

    I know for two linear operators $$H_1, H_2$$ between finite dimensional spaces (matrices) we have the relations (assuming their adjoints/inverses exist): $$(H_1 H_2)^* = H_2^* H_1^*$$ and $$(H_1 H_2)^{-1} = H_2^{-1} H_1^{-1}$$ but does this extend to operators in infinite dimensions? Thanks.
