CBSEENPH11020844

The power radiated by a black body is P and it radiates maximum energy at wavelength, λ0. If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy at wavelength 34λ0, the power radiated by it becomes nP. The value of n is

  • 3/4

  • 4/3

  • 81/256

  • 256/81

Solution

D.

256/81

Apply Wien's law

λmax T = constanti.e., λmax1 T1 =  λmax2 T2 λ0T = 3λ04T'T' = 43TPower radiated P T4So, P2P1 = n = T'T4 = 434 = 25681
