Emissive power question help needed!

The question is on emissive power emitted and i have attached it as a file

RELEVANT EQUATIONS

E=stefan Boltzmann constant * T^4

ATTEMPT

E=(5.67*10-8) * (923)^4
E = 41151.9

Don't know how to get the wavelength from this
should i use Plancks equation for emissive wavelength

To help the answers are included, its a multiple choice paper

thanks for your help
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Look up Wien's Displacement Law.
 
yeh that's it thanks! didnt think of that equation because i haven't used it since a level physics !
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
