In a certain planetary system,it is observed that one of the celestial bodies having a surface temperature of $200 \; K$,emits radiation of maximum intensity near the wavelength $12 \; \mu m$. The surface temperature (in $K$) of a nearby star which emits light of maximum intensity at a wavelength $\lambda = 4800 \; \mathring A$ is

  • A
    $5000$
  • B
    $2500$
  • C
    $10000$
  • D
    $7500$

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal surface area have thermal emissivities of $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The two bodies are radiating energy at the same rate. Maximum energy is radiated from the two bodies $A$ and $B$ at wavelengths $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The difference in these two wavelengths is $1 \mu m$. If the temperature of body $A$ is $5802 \ K$,then the value of $\lambda_B$ is:

$Assertion :$ For higher temperature, the peak emission wavelength of a blackbody shifts to lower wavelengths.
$Reason :$ Peak emission wavelength of a blackbody is proportional to the fourth power of temperature.
