  • A
    Wien's displacement law
  • B
    Prevost theory of heat exchange
  • C

Two stars $A$ and $B$ radiate maximum energy at wavelengths $3.9 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}$ and $5.2 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}$ respectively. The ratio of the temperature of star $A$ to that of star $B$ will be

Ordinary bodies $P$ and $Q$ radiate maximum energy with a wavelength difference of $3 \mu m$. The absolute temperature of body $P$ is four times that of $Q$. The wavelength at which body $Q$ radiates maximum energy is (in $\mu m$)

$A$ black body emits radiations of maximum intensity at a wavelength of $5000 \mathring A$,when the temperature of the body is $1227^{\circ}C$. If the temperature of the body is increased by $1000^{\circ}C$,the maximum intensity of emitted radiation would be observed at..... $\mathring A$.
