Write a function to calculate the x part of the Planck Equation above (hc/kλT), using the temperature of the sun (5800 K). Be very careful with your use of parentheses! The result should be 2.48E+01. If not, you did something wrong.
I don't know how to write out the function on excel and need help. Also, does lambda have a value????
The question misses one information i.e., value of lambda is not given. If we assume the value of lambda is 100 nm (nanometer), then we can calculate the value of given function as :
hc/kλT .............(1)
where h is planck's constant = 6.626 x 10-34 Js
k is Boltzman's constant = 1.38 x 10-23 j/k/particle
T is temperature = 5800 K
λ is wavelength (assumed 100nm) = 10-7 m.
c is velocity of light = 3 x 108 m/s
Using these values, we can calculate the value of equation (1) in excel as attached.
