Radiation
Question

The maximum energy in the thermal radiation hot a hot source occurs at a wavelength of 11x10-5 cm. According to Wien's law, the temperature of the source (on Kelvin scale) will be n times the temperature of another source (on Kelvin scale) for which the wavelength at maximum energy is 5.5 x 10-5 cm. The value on of n is

Easy
Solution

λmT= constant 
When wavelength is halved, the temperature will be doubled. Thus n = 2.
