The energy distribution $E$ with the wavelength $\lambda$ for black body radiation at temperature $T \ K$ is shown in the figure. As the temperature is increased,the maxima will:

  • A
    Shift towards left and become higher
  • B
    Rise high but will not shift
  • C
    Shift towards right and become higher
  • D
    Shift towards left and the curve will become broader

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

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ have emissivities $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The outer surface areas of both bodies are the same. Both bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength $\lambda_B$ corresponding to the maximum spectral radiance of $B$ is $1.0 \mu m$. If the temperature of $A$ is $5802 \ K$,calculate the wavelength $\lambda_A$ in $\mu m$. (Note: The original question asked for $\lambda_B$ but provided $\lambda_B$ as $1.0 \mu m$ and asked for $\lambda_A$ based on the context of the solution provided).
