Questions  

A black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength λ when its temperature is T. Now temperate of the black body is increased by 50%.  Then the percentage change in wavelength at which the black body will radiate maximum energy is

a
17.67%
b
33.33%
c
23.12%
d
25%

detailed solution

Correct option is B

(2)By Wien's displacement Law,T'λ'=Tλ   ⇒   λ'=TT' . λ=T1.5T × λ=2λ3.∴   Decrease  in wavelength  =λ−λ'λ × 100%=33.33%
