Q.

Two bodies A and B have thermal emissivities of 0.01 and 0.81 respectively. The outer surface areas of the two bodies are the same. The two bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength λB corresponding to maximum spectral radiancy in the radiation from B is shifted from the wavelength corresponding to maximum spectral radiancy in the radiation from A by 1.00μm. If the temperature of A is 5802 K.

εAσTA4 = εBσTB4 TATB=εBεA14=0.810.0114=3 TB = TA3=58023 = 1934 K

From Wein's displacement law,

λATA = λBTB  λAλB = TBTA=19345802=13

Also λB-λA = 1.00

After solving above equations, we get 

λB = 1.5μm
