Homework Statement
Given that the spectrum of solar radiation is that of a black body, and that the maximum wavelength is about 4800x10^(-10)m, calculate the temperature of the surface of the sun
Homework Equations
[tex]\omega_{max}=\frac{2.82144 \cdot k_B}{\hbar}T[/tex] (Wien's Law)
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]f=\frac{c}{\lambda_{max}}[/tex]
[tex]\omega=2\pi f[/tex]
I'm getting a wrong result, knowing that the correct answer is about 5.500K. Thanx in advance!
