AP Physics 2
15.4 Blackbody Radiation
An astronomer measures the radiation spectrum of a star and determines its surface temperature to be \(T_0\) with a peak emission wavelength of \(\lambda_0\). Over a long period, the surface temperature of the star decreases by \(20\%\). Assuming the star radiates as an ideal blackbody, what is the new peak emission wavelength in terms of \(\lambda_0\)?
