Q.4. A black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength ‘ \lambda ‘ and its emissive power is ‘ E ‘ Now due to change in temperature of that body, it radiates maximum energy at wavelength \frac{2 \lambda}{3}. At that temperature emissive power is
A. \frac{81}{16}
B. \frac{27}{32}
C. \frac{18}{10}
D. \frac{9}{4}
Answer: A
Explanation:-
From Stefan-Boltzmann’s law,
\mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{dQ}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{A} \sigma \mathrm{T}^{4}Also, from Wien’s displacement law,
\lambda_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{T}}(\mathrm{b} \rightarrow Wien’s constant )
\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\lambda}
\therefore \quad Ratio of power dissipated is
\frac{\mathrm{P}_{2}}{\mathrm{P}_{1}}=\left(\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}}\right)^{4}Given \lambda_{1}=\lambda and \lambda_{2}=\frac{2 \lambda}{3}
\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{P}_{2}}{\mathrm{P}_{1}}=\frac{(\lambda)^{4}}{\left(\frac{2 \lambda}{3}\right)^{4}}=\frac{81}{16}
