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.
