The maximum energy in the thermal radiation from a hot source occurs at a wavelength of $11 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$. According to Wien's law, the temperature of the source (on Kelvin scale) will be $n$ times the temperature of another source (on Kelvin scale) for which the wavelength at maximum energy is $5.5 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$. The value of $n$ is

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $0.5$
  • D
    $1$

In the figure,the distribution of energy density of the radiation emitted by a black body at a given temperature is shown. The possible temperature of the black body is ....... $K$.

Two stars $P$ and $Q$ are observed at night. Star $P$ appears reddish while star $Q$ is white. From this we conclude:

The black body spectrum of an object $O_1$ is such that its radiant intensity (i.e.,intensity per unit wavelength interval) is maximum at a wavelength of $200\,nm$. Another object $O_2$ has the maximum radiant intensity at $600\,nm$. The ratio of power emitted per unit area by source $O_1$ to that of source $O_2$ is

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal surface area have thermal emissivities of $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The two bodies are radiating energy at the same rate. Maximum energy is radiated from the two bodies $A$ and $B$ at wavelengths $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The difference in these two wavelengths is $1 \mu m$. If the temperature of body $A$ is $5802 \ K$, then the value of $\lambda_B$ is:

The emissive power of a sphere of area $0.04 \,m^2$ is $0.7 \,kcal \,s^{-1} \,m^{-2}$. The amount of heat radiated in $20 \,s$ is: (in $\,kcal$)
