    Undergrad Electric potential at certain point from charged sphere

    Let's say I have a sheet of charge that is composed of a certain amount of charged atoms summing up to Q and a certain area A. The charge density would be Q/A = σ. I wish to find the elctrostatic potential from the sheet at point X. I believe that the electric potential should follow the...

    At What Wavelength is the Peak of the Planet's Blackbody Intensity Function?

    Homework Statement Imagine you are trying to detect a Jupiter-like planet located 7.5E11 m from a Sun-like star. At what wavelength is the peak of the planet's Planck blackbody intensity function (assume the planet is a perfect blackbody)? Radius of Planet r = 7E7 m Radius of Star R =...
