The spectral emissive power $E_\lambda$ for a body at temperature $T_1$ is plotted against the wavelength and the area under the curve is found to be $A$. At a different temperature $T_2$,the area is found to be $9A$. Then $\lambda_1/\lambda_2 =$

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $1/3$
  • C
    $1/\sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3}$

Use the formula $\lambda_{m} T = 0.29 \; cm \cdot K$ to obtain the characteristic temperature ranges for different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. What do the numbers that you obtain tell you?

The wavelength of maximum emitted energy $(\lambda_m)$ of a body at $700 \ K$ is $4.08 \ \mu m$. If the temperature of the body is raised to $1400 \ K$,then the value of $\lambda_m$ will be (in $\mu m$)

The maximum wavelength of light coming from a star is $2.93 \times 10^{-10} \, m$. If Wien's constant is $b = 2.93 \times 10^{-3} \, m \cdot K$,what is the temperature of the star?
