We consider the radiation emitted by the human body. Which of the following statements is true?

  • A
    The radiation is emitted during the summers and absorbed during the winters
  • B
    The radiation emitted lies in the ultraviolet region and hence is not visible
  • C
    The radiation emitted is in the infrared region
  • D
    The radiation is emitted only during the day

$A$ black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\lambda$ and its emissive power is $E$. Now,due to a change in the temperature of that body,it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\frac{2 \lambda}{3}$. At that temperature,the emissive power is:

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).
