  1. The peak wavelength of radiation emitted by a black body at a temperature of 2000 K is 1.45 μm. If the peak wavelength of emitted radiation changes to 2.90 μm, then the temperature (in K) of the black body is
    1. 500
    2. 1000
    3. 4000
    4. 8000
Correct Option: B

From wein’s displacement law λmax T = constant
max)1 T1 = (λmax)2 T2
1.45 × 2000 = 2.90 × T2

T2 =
1.45
× 2000
2.90

T2 = 1000 K
