The adjoining diagram shows the spectral energy density distribution Eλ of a black body at two different temperatures. If the areas under the curves are in the ratio 256 : 1, the value of temperature T is 
 

a
32,000 K
b
16,000 K
c
8,000 K
d
4,000 K

detailed solution

Correct option is C

ATA2000=2561                 (given) Area under eλ−λ  curve represents the emissive power of body and emissive power  ∝T4 (Hence area under   eλ−λ curve)  ∝T4⇒ATA2000=T20004⇒2561=T20004⇒T=8000K.
