Homework Statement
What is the temperature of a star if the flux at 450 nm is measured to be 1.3 times the flux at 650 nm
Homework Equations
To determine monochromatic flux I use:
2πhv3/c2
ex-1
x= hv/kT
The Attempt at a Solution
So basically I plug in the 450 or 640 nm wave lengths for v and using the other constants I try to guess a temperature that when I combine the individual monochromatic fluxes, they will equal 1.3
However I am using values from 5-50000 kelvin for my temperature, and I don't seem to be getting closer to 1.3, what am i missing?
