Homework Statement
What is the relationship between vmax and λmax and why isn't it just vmaxλmax = c
Homework Equations
vλ = c
vmax = 5.88 x 1010T s-1 K-1
λmax = 0.290T-1 cm K
The Attempt at a Solution
I worked out that Bλ = -dv/dλ Bv
where -dv/dλ = c/λ2
So I thought that λmax = -dv/dλ vmax but that doesn't seem to work.
Any idea what I have missed? I have been playing around with various rearrangements for a while . . . do I need to do some more calculus?
