    The wavelength of maximum energy, released during   an   atomic   explosion   was \[2.93\,\times {{10}^{-10}}\,m\]. Given that the Wiens constant is \[2.93\,\times {{10}^{-10}}m-K,\] the maximum temperature attained must be of the order of:

    A)  \[{{10}^{-7}}K\]                               

    B)         \[{{10}^{7}}K\]

    C)         \[{{10}^{-3}}K\]                               

    D)         \[5.86\,\times {{10}^{7}}K\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Whens displacement law is given by \[{{\lambda }_{m}}T=\] constant (say b) Given,      b = Wiens constant                 \[=2.93\times {{10}^{-3}}\,m-K\]                                 \[{{\lambda }_{m}}=2.93\times {{10}^{-10}}m\] Substituting the values, we obtain                                 \[T=\frac{b}{{{\lambda }_{m}}}\] \[=\frac{2.93\times {{10}^{-3}}}{2.93\times {{10}^{-10}}}\] \[={{10}^{7}}K\]
