Question

A black body is at a temperature of 2880K. The radiation energy emitted by this object with wavelength in between 499nm and 500nm is U1, between 999nm and 1000nm is U2 and between 1499nm and 1500nm is U3. If Wein constant is 2.8×106nmK, then

Solution

The correct option is D U2 > U1
Using Wien's displacement law, we get the wavelength at which intensity is maximum as 1000 nm. Now, the spectrum of black body radiation looks like as shown in the figure. The energy of radiation corresponds to area under the curve from one wavelength to other. Since the peak is 1000 nm, we can say that U2 will be greater than both U1 and U3.
