Solar radiation emitted by the sun resembles that emitted by a black body at a temperature of $6000\,K$. Maximum intensity is emitted at a wavelength of about $4800\,\mathring{A}$. If the sun was cooled down from $6000\,K$ to $3000\,K$,then the peak intensity would occur at a wavelength of ........ $\mathring{A}$.

  • A
    $4800$
  • B
    $9600$
  • C
    $2400$
  • D

If wavelengths of maximum intensity of radiations emitted by the sun and the moon are $0.5 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ and $10^{-4} \ m$ respectively,the ratio of their temperatures is

The graph of relative intensity versus wavelength for three perfectly black bodies at temperatures $T_1, T_2,$ and $T_3$ is shown below. The relationship between their temperatures is:

$A$ black body at a temperature of $1640 \ K$ has the wavelength corresponding to maximum emission equal to $1.75 \ \mu m$. Assuming the moon to be a perfectly black body,the temperature of the moon,if the wavelength corresponding to maximum emission is $14.35 \ \mu m$,is ...... $K$.

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
