Question

The wavelength of maximum emitted energy of a body at 700K is 4.08µm. If the temper-ature of the body is raised to 1400 K, the wavelength of maximum emitted energy will be

Easy
Solution

T1 = 700k; T2 = 1400k
\large (\lambda_m)_1=4.08\times 10^{-6}m,(\lambda_m)_2=?
\large \frac {(\lambda_m)_2}{(\lambda_m)_1}=\frac {T_1}{T_2}
\large \frac {(\lambda_m)_2}{4.08\times 10^{-6}}=\frac {700}{1400}\Rightarrow (\lambda_m)_2=2.04\mu m
