NEET 2018 Physics Black Body Radiation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

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 3/4 λ₀, the power radiated by it becomes nP. The value of n is

A

3/4

B

4/3

C

256/81

D

81/256

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

According to Stefan-Boltzmann law, the power radiated is proportional to the fourth power of temperature. Using Wien's displacement law, the temperature is inversely proportional to the wavelength of maximum emission.
