    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 wavelength \[8000\,\overset{{}^\circ }{\mathop{A}}\,\] and \[4000\,\overset{{}^\circ }{\mathop{A}}\,\] 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 \[{{\lambda }_{1}}=8000\overset{{}^\circ }{\mathop{A}}\,\] and \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=4000\overset{{}^\circ }{\mathop{A}}\,.\]
    \[\therefore \]      From Wien's displacement law \[\lambda \,T=\text{constant}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\lambda }_{1}}{{T}_{1}}={{\lambda }_{2}}{{T}_{2}}\]
    or         \[8000\times {{T}_{1}}=4000\,{{T}_{2}}\]
    or         \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}\,=\frac{1}{2}\]
    \[\text{Emissive}\,\,\text{power}=e\,\sigma \,A{{T}^{4}}\]
    \[\therefore \]      Ratio of emissive powers at these temperature is \[=\frac{{{e}_{1}}{{T}_{1}}^{4}}{{{e}_{2}}{{T}_{2}}^{4}}=\frac{0.5}{0.8}\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{4}}=\frac{5}{128}\]
