The energy distribution $E$ with the wavelength $\lambda$ for black body radiation at temperature $T \ K$ is shown in the figure. As the temperature is increased,the maxima will:

  • A
    Shift towards left and become higher
  • B
    Rise high but will not shift
  • C
    Shift towards right and become higher
  • D
    Shift towards left and the curve will become broader

If $\lambda$ denotes the wavelength at which the radiative emission from a black body at a temperature $T$ is maximum,then

The wavelength of maximum energy released during an atomic explosion was $2.93 \times 10^{-10} \ m$. Given that Wien's constant is $b = 2.93 \times 10^{-3} \ m \cdot K$,the maximum temperature attained must be of the order of:

Write the temperature of the surfaces of the Moon and the Sun according to Wien's displacement law.

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 were to cool down from $6000 \ K$ to $3000 \ K$,then the peak intensity would occur at a wavelength of ....... $\mathring{A}$.

The wavelength of maximum intensity of radiation emitted by a star is $289.8 \, nm$. The radiation intensity for the star is: (Stefan's constant $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \, W m^{-2} K^{-4}$,Wien's constant $b = 2898 \, \mu m \cdot K$)
