The intensity of radiation emitted by the sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of $510\;nm$ and that emitted by the north star has the maximum value at $350\;nm$. If these stars behave like black bodies,then the ratio of the surface temperature of the sun and north star is

  • A
    $1.46$
  • B
    $0.69$
  • C
    $1.21$
  • D

The black discs $x, y$ and $z$ have radii $1 \ m, 2 \ m$ and $3 \ m$ respectively. The wavelengths corresponding to maximum intensity are $200 \ nm, 300 \ nm$ and $400 \ nm$ respectively. The relation between emissive power $E_{x}, E_{y}$ and $E_{z}$ is

If $\lambda_{m}$ denotes the wavelength at which the radioactive emission from a black body at a temperature $T \; K$ is maximum,then

The emissive power of a sphere of area $0.04 \,m^2$ is $0.7 \,kcal \,s^{-1} \,m^{-2}$. The amount of heat radiated in $20 \,s$ is: (in $\,kcal$)

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ have emissivities $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The outer surface areas of both bodies are the same. Both bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength $\lambda_B$ corresponding to the maximum spectral radiance of $B$ is $1.0 \mu m$. If the temperature of $A$ is $5802 \ K$,calculate the wavelength $\lambda_A$ in $\mu m$. (Note: The original question asked for $\lambda_B$ but provided $\lambda_B$ as $1.0 \mu m$ and asked for $\lambda_A$ based on the context of the solution provided).
