    A blackened platinum wire, when gradually heated, first appears dull red, then blue and finally white. Explain why.

    Answer:

                    According to Wien's displacement law, when blackened platinum wire is gradually heated, it first emits radiations of longer wavelengths, so it appears red. At higher temperatures, it emits blue radiations more strongly than red and appears blue. At very high temperatures, it emits all radiations strongly and appears white.
