Thermal Properties of Matter

  1. A black body at 1227°C emits radiations with maximum intensity at a wavelength of 5000Å. If the temperature of the body is increased by 1000°C, the maximum intensity will be observed at
    1. 5000 Å
    2. 6000 Å
    3. 3000 Å
    4. 4000 Å
Correct Option: C

Applying Wein's displacement law,
λmT = constant
5000 Å × (1227 + 273) = (2227 + 273) × λm

λm =
5000 × 1500
= 3000 A
1000
