10-2.Transmission of Heat
normal

The intensity of radiation emitted by the Sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of $510\,\, nm$ and that emitted by the North Star has the maximum value at $350\,\, nm$. If these stars behave like black bodies then the ratio of the surface temperature of the Sun and the North Star is

A

$1.46$

B

$0.69$

C

$1.21$

D

$0.83$

Solution

Using Wien's displacement law, $\quad T \lambda=$ constant

$\Longrightarrow \quad T \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$

Given: $\lambda_{N}=350 \mathrm{nm} \quad \lambda_{s}=510 \mathrm{nm}$

$\therefore \frac{T_{s}}{T_{N}}=\frac{\lambda_{N}}{\lambda_{s}}$

OR $\quad \frac{T_{s}}{T_{N}}=\frac{350}{510}=0.69$
