Answer

$\lambda_{max} = 2.9\times 10^{-8}~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the wavelength at which the thermal radiation is maximum: $\lambda_{max}~T = 2.898\times 10^{-3}~m~K$ $\lambda_{max} = \frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}~m~K}{T}$ $\lambda_{max} = \frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}~m~K}{1.0\times 10^5~K}$ $\lambda_{max} = 2.9\times 10^{-8}~m$
