Black body radiation MCQs
Lummer and Pringsheim performed experiments in 1899, to study the distribution of energy with the wavelength in spectrum of black body radiations. The intensity of black body radiations corresponding to wavelength ranging from zero to infinity is measured and plotted at various temperatures of black body. The intensity verses wavelength graph is called spectrum.
1) At given temperature of black body:-
The energy emitted is not distributed uniformly among all wavelengths.
The energy emitted is maximum for wavelength λmax and it falls on either side of it. The wavelength is called wavelength of maximum emission.
2.) With rise in temperature of black body:-
The energy emitted increases rapidly for any wavelength.
The wavelength for which energy emitted is maximum and shifted towards left of X-axis Or the i.e. wavelength for which energy emitted is maximum is inversely proportional to its abosolute temperature.
λmax T= b(constant), where b= Wien’s constant= 2.9х10-3 m.K.
Wien’s displacement law:- The wavelength (λmax) corresponding to maximum energy emitted by a black body is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature.
