QNEET-2018-Ph-885: NEET 2018 Physics - Class 11 NEET-2018-Ph-885 Solution: The power radiated by a black body is P and it radiates maximum …
The power radiated by a black body is P and it radiates maximum energy at wavelength . If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy at wavelength the power radiated by it becomes nP. The value of n is 4/3 3/4 81/256 256/81
Multiple Choice Options
- A 4 3 _
- B 3 4 _
- C 81 256 _
- D 256 81 _
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
From Wien's law, _ max T = constant
_ _ max 1 T 1 = _ max 2 T 2
_ _ 0 T 1 = 3 _ 0 4 T 2
_ T 2 T 1 = 4 3
According to Stefan-Boltzmann law, energy emitted
unit time by a black body is Ae _ T 4 ,
_ P _ T 4
So P 2 P 1 = ( T 2 T 1 ) 4 = ( 4 3 ) 4
Here, P 2 = nP and P 1 = P
So, n P P = n = ( T 2 T 1 ) 4 = ( 4 3 ) 4 = 256 81
