Thermal Radiation: Black Body, Stefan & Wien

A black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength 'λ\lambda' and its emissive power is 'EE'. Now due to a change in temperature of that body, it radiates maximum energy at wavelength λ3\frac{\lambda}{3}. At that temperature emissive power is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Wien: λm→λ3\lambda_m \to \frac{\lambda}{3} means T→3TT \to 3T.
  2. Stefan: E∝T4⇒E′=34E=81EE \propto T^4 \Rightarrow E' = 3^4 E = 81E
  3. Ratio new : old =81:1= 81 : 1, so the answer is (c).
