Question
(a) If the human body acts like a blackbody, use Wien’s displacement law (see problem 45) to calculate the body’s wavelength of maximum emission. Assume an average skin temperature of 34°C.
(b) In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum is the light?

Answer:
(a) 9439.8 nm
(b) infrared
Explanation:
Temperature, T = 34°C = 307 K
(a)
According to the Wein’s displacement law
where, b is the Wein’s constant.
b = 2.898 x 10^-3 metre kelvin
λm x 307 = 2.898 x 10^-3
λm = 9.44 x 10^-6 m = 9439.8 nm
(b) it lies in infrared radiation.
