# Firefly bioluminescence has a peak wavelength of around 600nm. From Wien’s blackbody radiation displacement law calculate the temperature if this were a blackbody spectrum. Could this be a blackbody spectrum and why or why not?

Given:
The peak wavelength
According to Wien’s blackbody radiation displacement law,

The peak possible wavelength of blackbody is 579.6 nm that occurs at 5000 K temperature,

Now the temperature for given wavelength,

The given wavelength is black body spectrum having peak wavelength of 600 nm and temperature of 4830 K.
