Q103 / 180 · NEET 2018 · Physics

The power radiated by a black body is P and it radiates maximum energy at wavelength, λ0. If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy at wavelength 34λ0, the power radiated by it becomes nP. The value of n is

  • Correct answer
    A
    25681
  • B
    43
  • C
    34
  • D
    81256

Solution

By Stefan's law,
P=σAT4⇒P∝T4

According to Wien's law T∝1λm

⇒  P∝1λm4⇒P2P1=λm1λm24

⇒  P2P1=λ034λ04⇒nPP=25681⇒n=25681

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
