    Two bodies A and B have emissivities 0.5 and 0.8 respectively. At some temperatures the two bodies have maximum spectral emissive powers at wave length 8000\[\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] and 4000\[\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] respectively. The ratio of their emissive powers at these temperatures are -

    A) \[\frac{5}{128}\]

    B) 10

    C) \[\frac{5}{16}\]

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the body have temperatures \[{{T}_{1}}\] and \[{{T}_{2}}\] respectively at wavelength \[{{\lambda }_{1}}=8000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] and \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=4000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
    \[\therefore \] From Wien?s displacement law \[\lambda \,\,\Tau =\] Constant
    \[\Rightarrow {{\lambda }_{1}}{{T}_{1}}={{\lambda }_{2}}{{T}_{2}}\,\,or\,\,8000\times {{T}_{1}}=4000{{T}_{2}}\] \[or\,\,\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\] Emissive power \[=e\sigma A{{T}^{4}}\]
    \[\therefore \]Ratio of emissive powers at these temperature is
    \[\frac{{{e}_{1}}T_{1}^{4}}{{{e}_{2}}T_{2}^{4}}=\frac{0.5}{0.8}\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{4}}=\frac{5}{128}\]
