Solar radiation emitted by the sun resembles that emitted by a black body at a temperature of $6000\,K$. Maximum intensity is emitted at a wavelength of about $4800\,\mathring{A}$. If the sun was cooled down from $6000\,K$ to $3000\,K$,then the peak intensity would occur at a wavelength of ........ $\mathring{A}$.

  • A
    $4800$

The wavelength of maximum energy,released during an atomic explosion,was $2.93 \times 10^{-10} \ m$. Given that the Wien's constant is $2.93 \times 10^{-3} \ m \ K$,the maximum temperature attained must be of the order of

According to Wien's displacement law:

$A$ black body is at a temperature of $5780 \text{ K}$. The energy of radiation emitted by the body at wavelength $300 \text{ nm}$ is $U_1$, at wavelength $500 \text{ nm}$ is $U_2$, and at wavelength $900 \text{ nm}$ is $U_3$. Wien's constant $b = 2.89 \times 10^6 \text{ nm K}$. This shows that:

The temperature of the sun is $5500 \ K$ and it emits maximum intensity radiation in the yellow region $(5.5 \times 10^{-7} \ m)$. The maximum radiation from a furnace occurs at a wavelength of $11 \times 10^{-7} \ m$. The temperature of the furnace is ....... $K$.
