JEE Main & Advanced Physics Transmission of Heat Question Bank Radiation Wein's law

  • question_answer
    If the temperature of the sun becomes twice its present temperature, then      [MP PET 1989; RPMT 1996]

    A)            Radiated energy would be predominantly in infrared

    B)            Radiated energy would be predominantly in ultraviolet

    C)            Radiated energy would be predominantly in X-ray region

    D)            Radiated energy would become twice the present radiated energy

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               The wavelength corresponding to maximum emission of radiation from the sun is \[{{\lambda }_{\max }}=4753{\AA}\] (close to the wavelength of violet colour of visible region). Hence if temperature is doubled lm is decreased \[\left( {{\lambda }_{m}}\propto \frac{1}{T} \right)\] i.e. mostly ultraviolet radiations emits.
