(Heat transfer) Typically, all objects radiating heat do so at many different wavelengths. (See the Technical Note in the preceding section for a description of wavelength.) The wavelength at which an object emits its maximum heat energy can be found by using Wein’s Law:

λmax T = W

λmax is the maximum wavelength.

T is the object’s temperature in °K.

W is Wein’s constant = 2897 microns/°K. 

a. Using Wein’s Law, write a C++ program that accepts an object’s temperature in degrees Celsius and outputs the wavelength at which the object radiates its maximum energy. Have your program declare Wein’s constant as the symbolic constant named WEINCONSTANT.


b. After verifying that your program is working, use it to determine the maximum heatradiating wavelength for the sun, Earth, and Mars, with surface temperatures of 5727, 14, and 0.46 degrees Celsius, respectively.
