Egenz_9533 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thermal Radiation Laws.Consider two furnaces of the same size that emit thermal radiation. The thermal radiationspectrum of furnace A peaks at a wavelength of 1,000 nm, while that of furnace B peaks at2,000 nm.(a) In what portions of the electromagnetic spectrum do these furnaces emit most of their radiation? What are their peak wavelengths in angstroms (˚ A)? (b) According to Wien’s law: (i) Which one is hotter? (ii) What is the ratio of their temper-atures?© According to Stefan-Boltzmann’s law: (i) Which one emits more radiation (energy)? (ii)What is the ratio of the fluxes radiated by these furnaces?

What have you done so far? Part a is asking you what part of the spectrum contains a wavelength of 1 micron and 2 micron Parts b and c even tell you what equations you should be using.
