Solar radiation emitted by the Sun resembles that of a black body at a temperature of $6000 \, K$. The maximum intensity of radiation is emitted at a wavelength of $4800 \, \mathring{A}$. If the temperature of the Sun decreases from $6000 \, K$ to $3000 \, K$,then at what wavelength (in $\mathring{A}$) will the maximum intensity of radiation be emitted?

  • A
    $4800$
  • B
    $9600$
  • C
    $7200$
  • D
    $6400$

$A$ black body radiates power $P$ and maximum energy is radiated by it at a wavelength $\lambda_0$. The temperature of the black body is now changed such that it radiates maximum energy at the wavelength $\frac{\lambda_0}{4}$. The power radiated by it at the new temperature is (in $P$)

The temperature of a furnace is $2000^\circ C$ and the wavelength of maximum intensity in its spectrum is $4000 \ \mathring{A}$. If the wavelength of maximum intensity is $2000 \ \mathring{A}$, calculate the temperature of the furnace in $^\circ C$.
