level an ther will such radars disturb such radio astronomy measurements 4. If the intensity of the Sun peaks in the optical range, at a frequency of about 3:4 x 10 Hz, what is the temperature of the Sun? Use the Wien displacement law (1.25). If all of the power is emitted only between 3 and 4 x 10 Hz, how many photons per cm² arrive at the earth when the Sun is directly overhead? What is the power received on earth per cm³? A value for the solar power is 135mW per cm². How does this compare to your calculation?
